I'm bringing the family up to Boston to see my first game at Fenway in about 36 years. No lie, the last time I was at Fenway we were all excited for a blue chip prospect who had just been called up---Sam Horn, who hit his first MLB home run that day (against the Mariners). First question, does anybody have any idea when individual game tickets go on sale for July? Second question, is it hard getting tickets these days, will I have to go to a reseller? Is it worth it sitting in the Monster seats? Any other advice, tips, for a family's first trip to Fenway?
Most games you're going to get a better deal from a season ticket holder who doesn't want to lose them long-term and keeps renewing even though they're losing money, than the box office, especially if paying fees
Exceptions would be, as mentioned, Green Monster don't have season tickets so those could be a premium, and they used to have a different onsite day/method for them than the rest. And yes, go first row only (or standing room behind all of them for more value. Another exception would/could be June 20-August 26 Saturdays or afternoon Sundays. (And of course with Yankees/Dodgers, those are 2 that will be summer weekends, so you want get from primary)
If you want to go on a weekday, honestly I'd wait until the week of, both for lower prices, and weather reasons.
Of course if they win 20 games in April, all bets are off on getting a deal in July.
If you're going for a night game or Saturday afternoon (in Summer and inJuly especially), PM me closer to the event day for parking tip.
Please don't pay $50 to the asshats.
Seatwise, I would avoid anything in GS 3-8, and Right Field Box 87-94. (95-97 are ok, you're close to more expensive Loge Boxes)
GS 32-33 are no alcohol section if you're bringing kids and want to avoid drunks.
(It's not hard getting tickets these days)
