2021 spring training virtually sold out as games start Sunday

Spring Training 2021So much for fans being wary of attending spring-training games: most 2021 spring training games are sold out, with teams running out of ducats within an hour of placing them on sale.

Reduced capacities have a lot to do with the early sellouts (most team are operating at 20 percent or so of capacity), but demand is surely a big factor as well. Fans didn’t get much notice about tickets going on sale, and virtually every teams first offered single-game tickets to season-ticket holders both at their spring homes and their regular-season homes. The last team to put tickets on sale: the Boston Red Sox, who will release a very limited allocation of tickets at noon ET today (Feb. 26).

We’ve been focused on bringing the breaking news re: spring training in the twice-weekly newsletter (sign up here!), and we’re in the midst of adding broadcast schedules and other spring news to the site. We present here a list of the status for each team. Things are in flux; some complexes and teams report that tickets returned to them will immediately be placed back on sale. This has not been the smoothest process for many teams and complexes, to be sure.
