Uhh, I'm not particularly familiar with eBay, but I also know stubhub.com sells tickets too. Really, there aren't any "bad" seats at Fenway unless you get stuck behind a big pole. Tickets outside Fenway usually sell for about 10 dollars over face value, or at least that's my experience. But truthfully, it's kinda hard to get tickets outside.
Eh, "print-at-home" tickets I'm not familiar with at all. So I wouldn't know.
And, walk around Yawkey Way, visit a few stores. Walk around the concourse. Especially under the bleachers, that place this is sick. If you can, See if they will let you up to the Green Monster to get a view. I know I was able to go up their once and then left to go back to my seats for the game, but I don't know if they let people do that regularly. It was sick. Have a great time, and hope all is well in your home town in Louisiana
