January 30, 200917 yr It's my first spring training living in Arizona. I have never been to Spring Training before and I was curious as to how difficult it is to buy tickets day of game at the park. How often do games sell out? Thanks.

The normal rules don't apply this year, because they have a brand new facility (in Glendale). It will be more popular, which may may it more difficult to get them. But its also bigger, so, maybe not? But I do not know. Some games, like against the Cubs, will sell out the day they go on sale. Other games, at least when they were in Tucson, you could walk up. If I were you, if you want to go, I'd buy in advance.

If the Sox home games are sold out, don't forget you can also go to games at other teams' stadiums. If you have a car none of them should be too long of a trip, since I'm pretty sure everyone in the cactus league is now in the Phoenix area.

But yes, good point, you can certainly find tickets to Sox games at other stadiums as well.

Yeah...but it's not like you want to drive from the Sox ST site over to Scottsdale or Mesa. IMO..stay on the west side. Sox-Dodgers: South Glendale (almost Avondale) Padres-Mariners: Peoria Sports Complex Rangers-Royals: Surprise Indians: Goodyear Brewers: Maryvale Angels: Tempe Diablo (right off the 10...isn't too bad a drive) A's: Phoenix Muni (next to the zoo...isn't that bad to get to) Giants: Scottsdale (pain to get to and long drive). Cubs: SUCKS getting in and out of there...as well as just getting there. Plus...you should be ok during the week walking up. What rocks is I just took this gig with the agency I've contracted with for the past 4+ years full-time. Part of my negotiation was I wanted one of the window offices (which one happened to be available). My office looks out over the left field/3rd base line at the Peoria Sports Complex. I'm not gonna get s*** done this March!
January 31, 200917 yr Author Ok, thanks for the replies. I made myself aware of where most stadiums were during the fall league. Work prevents me from going to games during the week, but I was not sure how often games are at capacity. Looks like I should probably look to buy in advance. Any ideas as to whether scalpers sell outside the stadium?
