ticket advice

[yaz can]

Looking for some ticket advice. I'm a life long Sox fan from Toronto,bringing my 9year old Boston fantic for the Wankee series(our first Fenway experience).We are looking to spend in around the $200.00 to $240.00 range via stubhub for the friday night game.Any recommendations as to best seating option.

[BoSox21]

people here will tell you youre a fool for buying from stubhub and that you should buy from a scalper just after the game has started but ive always liked the security of actually having my tickets when I leave for Boston. Ive always been in the bleachers, fun times

[yaz can]

Thanks BoSox21,I agree plus my son wants to see batting practice.

[BoSox21]

try and get to the ballpark when the gates open then

[Soxfan1]

The scalpers aren't bad at all in my opinion. Bring a I need tickets sign or stand outside the Ace Tickets Shop.

[carlito79]

but is it not illegal to buy from a scalper? cant you go to jail?

[CoachC.]

Only to sell but its perfectly legal for you to sell your tickets right outside the venue as long as you sell them for the ticket price, which most scalpers outside Fenway will do right before the game. I got grandstand seats for $40 against KC a couple weeks ago.

You do kind of run the risk of winding up with some pretty random seating arrangements don't you? I mean you can't control which seats the scalpers actually have right?

 

If you're trying to make a memorable experience for a kid I can see paying the extra for a bit of security.

[BoSox21]

plus he's coming in for the Yankee series, that's gonna affect s*** somehow

Thanks for the advice everyone.Has anyone ever used the link from this site"ONLINE TICKETS" at the bottom of the page. Are they credible?

[yaz can]

Is right field box 93 a good area to catch a game?And if so,closer to the field or higher up?

[Cocos Disciples]

They're pretty good seats. You'll have to turn to your left to see most of the action, which is annoying. The seats are on field level.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much would you be paying for these?

[yaz can]

$200 range,am I better off in a grand stand seat?What do you recommend?I want a great experience for my son.

[Cocos Disciples]

It really depends on where in the grandstand, but in general I'd go for GS. It's closer to home plate.

[yaz can]

I see a pair in grandstand 19,2nd row.Or grandstand12,row 3,what do think.

[Cocos Disciples]

I'd go for section 19.

[yaz can]

Thanks for the advice,can't wait to get there.

[CoachC.]

You might wanna check to see if either of your ticket choices are obstructed viewing or not

Good point. But if you're buying StubHub I don't think you can directly contact the seller.

I have had luck on e-bay especially when you can receive a link to print tickets at home so you have them in hand when you go to the ball park.

 

If you are a member of Red Sox Nation you can also go to the message board and post a request for tickets.

 

If you do go to Fenway without tickets, go to Gate B two hours before the game. This is sometimes referred to as the scalp free zone. A representative from the Red Sox will be outside the gate with a clipboard. He will have a list of tickets available for sale for that day's game. They are face value and cash only. So you may need to have $100.00 to $200.00.

 

Also if you are purchasing tickets on line, use there are links that show seat location at Fenway and their rating. I have used precise seating is very accurate. Good Luck!

Thanks again everyone.Section 19 was great,we were in row 2,to bad Penny spoiled the night.We are still in town and looking to get scalpers for sunday,any advice would be helpful.

[yaz can]

Anything guys? Not sure I want to do stub hub again.

[schillingouttheks]

It's pretty much the only hope you have of getting tickets. I don't like dealing with scalpers.

[yaz can]

I agree.The only fear I have is a rainout.With scalpers I can pretty much wait right up until game time to see how the skys look.

[yaz can]

infield grandstand 15 or field box 43,obviously fbox are a little more.

[Spudboy]

Why do you keep starting new threads when this can all be discussed in the Tix Advice thread?

[yeszir]

Good point. Merged.

[yaz can]

8 rows behind the plate,did'nt get the win,but at least I was'nt hounded for autographs.Thanks for all your patience and help guys.

Keep your stick on the ice.

Hopefully it's not too late for this. I brought my 10 year old daughter to a game and got inexpensive Pavilion Box SRO tickets. Tickets are cheap, view is incredible, and lots of foul balls will come your way. You do have to stand but you'll be leaning on a bar. I just sat my 10 year old right up on top of the bar and she had a great seat.

 

Also, preciseseating.com has an incredible amount of details on every seat in the park.

What is the difference between Ace Tickets and Stubhub? Any price difference??
