How the Red Sox define sellout streak

After the game, a video screen shows the 'attendance' number for Wednesday's game. MLB rules allow a team to count the total number of tickets it distributes for a game rather than the paid attendance. For the Red Sox, that includes an average of 800 complimentary tickets given to charities and others.
