BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have announced that single-game tickets for the 2021 Major League Baseball season will go on sale Thursday, March 25 at 10 a.m. Along with that announcement came a detailed plan on how the organization will promote health and safety among fans during the ongoing pandemic.

Tickets will be sold in groups of two or four seats in what the organization is calling, “physically distanced ‘pods’ […] that allow for safe distance between groups.” All tickets will only be accessible digitally.

Fenway Park will be divided into five “neighborhood zones,” the organization said. Each zone will be made up of 1,500 fans, who will use designated gates to enter and leave the ballpark.
