( CNN ) -- A front-row seat to potentially witness history Wednesday night at Fenway Park in Boston wo n't come cheap -- and neither will the tickets for standing-room-only . The last time the Boston Red Sox won a World Series at home , the team featured a 23-year-old ace pitcher named Babe Ruth , who won two games en route to a 4-2 series victory over the Chicago Cubs . That was 1918 , the year in New England lore when the Sox supposedly fell under a curse that kept them from ever again winning the World Series . Though the Curse of the Bambino was finally vanquished with Boston 's World Series title in 2004 -- and then for good measure in 2007 -- those victories came on the road , not at their Fenway Park home . So now , with only one more win to go , some fans are shelling out big bucks just for the chance to witness what they hope will be one final Fenway exorcism . The average price for a Game 6 ticket on online broker TiqIQ.com was $ 2,189 on Tuesday evening , while the cheapest available on StubHub.com was a standing-room-only ticket on the right field roof box for $ 983.75 . One Craigslist posting offering `` CHEAP '' Game 6 tickets ( in all caps , apparently to hammer home the bargain ) led to a broker selling standing-room-only for $ 774 . But the person who shelled out the most for America 's pastime on StubHub did n't even come from America : A fan from Calgary paid a whopping $ 12,092 for a seat near home plate , according to StubHub spokeswoman Shannon Barbara . That 's pretty staggering , considering the Red Sox paid Ruth less -- around $ 7,000 -- for the entire 1918 season , according to Baseball Almanac . The Red Sox lead the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 in in the best-of-seven series . If a seventh game is necessary , it would also be played at Fenway Park , so either way , a team donning red will be celebrating in Boston this week .
