Red Sox Offer 5 Peanut Allergy Friendly Games in 2023

The Boston Red Sox have five games with peanut allergy friendly seating this year. Tickets may be purchased on the Red Sox website. If you have specific questions, please email peanutallergy@redsox.com. 

As a local, I want to note that it is possible--and many people with peanut allergy do this!--to attend a Red Sox game and sit it regular seats, in an ordinary section. The great majority of people with peanut allergy are able to do this safely. Ask your allergist!

Seats for Peanut Allergic Red Sox Fans

A reader wrote to say that Fenway Park in Boston has peanut free seating. If you are interested in the peanut free seating area, you must contact the Red Sox and request to be put on the waiting list. The reader says that those on the waiting list typically receive a phone call when seats are available in Conigliaro's Corner. In the past, tickets have run about $25 each.
