That does not sound like monopolizing behavior.

I can't speak to Fenway, but Wrigley sold out even when the Cubs sucks. Tourists could fill half the seats. And don't discount good will- the Red Sox name and image are very valuable- do they want fans to think of them the way Thurgreed speaks of the Yankees above? The tickets really aren't what they're selling. Look at the payrolls and do the math.
