Boston sports fans can now score tickets from Ace Ticket while reading articles about their favorite teams and players through Boston.com Tickets. Launched in collaboration with Ace Ticket, it offers everything from Patriots playoffs to Red Sox tickets. Users can check out the latest sports scores, schedules, commentary, and in-depth coverage from the Boston Globe and Boston.com before deciding which team they’d like to cheer on from the stands.

Readers can go to www.boston.com/tickets to easily shop the wide range of Ace Ticket inventory, which includes tickets to the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Patriots and New England Revolution at a variety of price ranges for every type of fan.

There are tickets available for this weekend's AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.

“We want our readers to be able to come to Boston.com as a one-stop shop for all things sports,” said Chris Rattey, Boston.com director of product development. “Readers can keep up to date with all the coverage of their favorite sports team, while also searching for the best tickets in the house, and then purchasing them, without ever leaving Boston.com.”

Ace Ticket provides e-mail delivery for certain events, but readers can also conveniently pick up their tickets at a number of Ace Ticket stores located near all major sports venues, including Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park and TD Garden.

James Holzman, president and CEO of Ace Ticket said, “This collaboration between the number one news web site in Boston and the number one ticket agency in Boston makes for a great new ticketing platform. We’re very excited to be working together.”
