*chelley599* - Red Sox tickets

So did you end up getting Cubs or Yankees tickets?  We also "won" the opportunity to give them more money, but by the time I remembered, the only things left were the $170 field/box/whatever seats. No thanks.  I'd rather spend the money on Green Monster tickets - at least if you get hit in the head up there, it's a home run. Heh.

Hope you got lucky!

Re: *chelley599* - Red Sox tickets

  • We didn't get any either.  By the time we got through the virtual waiting room (man I hate that screen with the little countdown and refresh)  there wasn't anything except really expensive tickets or single random seats.  I was so upset.  They really need to work on their ticketing system

  • .:butting in:. agh! That totally sucks!  Were you able to get tix for any games?

    We got 6-pack tickets for Cubs already and now single-game tix go on sale on Friday.  Fingers crossed we can get some decent games!

  • No we didn't get any.  Unfortunately, red sox tickets are such a P.I.T.A to get.  Their system for getting them in aweful.  I will probably go into Boston one day to the stadium just to see if I can get some there.  Sometimes I have better luck than online

    That's too bad! I know you were really hoping for them.  

    And yeah, the virtual waiting room sucks.  The new feature where it tells you how far back in line you are is just depressing.  We tried for tickets during the general sale, and my little guy barely moved.  (We ended up getting some the next day = remnants from declined credit cards, I assume, heh.)

    We had good luck with the phone lines before, though.  Maybe try that next time.

    How far are you from Boston?

    DH & I went to a couple Cubs week day games last year and bought the tix the day of the game on stubhub. We paid underface value for all of them.  Granted they were upper deck, but we paid $10 or less for each ticket. And we were able to move to front row when we got there.  Definitely worth it if you're not too far!

  • I wish it was that easy and cheap to get sox tickets Hannah...they are in high demand and usually cost a fortune day of.  I am less than an hour from Boston...in the city all the time.  Hubby works in Boston so I could send him down to Fenway but I love going in so I look for any excuse.  I am going to keep my eyes and ears open

  • Try the "no scalping" zone over by gate B (I think it's B- the one with the Ted WIlliams statue*) - they're all face value tickets.The other thing is to try the will call window right at 4 pm on a night game - pick a random Tuesday against like Baltimore or something.  Alan's friends went there one day, and they got offered seats in the owners box! (Being poor college students, however, they couldn't afford them. Though they did seriously consider it for a second.)

    It's a shame that it's a zillion times easier (and cheaper) to get tickets for a road game than it is for a home game.  We might head down to Baltimore one weekend this summer.

    * one of my programs took a trolley tour of Boston one summer, and this guy turned to me and said, "Oh, is that Babe Ruth?" I said, "do you reaaaaallly think there'd be a statue of Babe Ruth in this city?" heh.

    Aw dang! Must be b/c the Cubs suck! haha, still love them though :O)
  • Butting in ... the virtual waiting room is so much better this year! Bryan "won" the buying opportunity but had to work so I sat in the virtual waiting room for two hours and finally got in. I couldn't get opening day, but I got his second choice, another Yankees game, right grandstand, aisle seats on Aug. 6. Then he got home and said he thought he might just sell them because we already have two games and we really shouldn't be spending on Sox tix! Argh. I can't stand when we're watching them away and the stadium is half empty knowing what we go through to get tickets here.

  • I agree...when I am watching tv games and the stadiums are that empty or you see people exitting so early...I actually yell at the tv (sad I know)  because I go through hell to get tickets

    Yeah, Alan wanted me to get Cubs tickets, and then sell them. *headdesk*
