Lack of Advance Ticket Sale Blows Gate Plans
Boston in July 1936 faced a weak gate as only 17 000 of 42 000 seats were sold for the All-Star game. Officials delayed sales though 25 000 seats were released, leaving vast bleacher spaces empty and fans shut out from a national spectacle. The park could have sold out if tickets had been available earlier, critics argued.
