Red Sox announced that "select single game tickets" go on sale Saturday. That USUALLY means early season, spring games. But does that include opening day? Planning a trip up for that one.
It hasn’t in the past. They’ll wait and sell OD and Patriots Day after the new year.Red Sox announced that "select single game tickets" go on sale Saturday. That USUALLY means early season, spring games. But does that include opening day? Planning a trip up for that one.
Gotcha.It hasn’t in the past. They’ll wait and sell OD and Patriots Day after the new year.
Times are now listed on the Red Sox site under both 2019 schedule and downloadable schedule.Has anyone found an on-line schedule that indicates starting times? (Looking for April day game.)
Scratch and sniff the victory.No Christmas at Fenway this year. I think it's an independent decision, though, as they've had the Winter Weekend at Foxwoods for several years now.
What I want to know is
... am I just oblivious to the appeal of the scratchy photo image here?
Yes Foxwoods of course.No Christmas at Fenway this year. I think it's an independent decision, though, as they've had the Winter Weekend at Foxwoods for several years now.

In fairness, though, I think last year was the first time there was a real scramble for Winter Weekend tickets. The first year or two they were selling extra day passes (i.e. extra autograph/photo ops) at check-in.Like Opening Day or the World Series, if you really want to go, if there's a chance to buy the tickets - YOU BUY THEM. You don't sit around and think "gee I'll wait. But we are going."
Last year was the first time I went to WW. And, because I won four tickets on season ticket appreciation day. I gave back two ... (probably could have given them to someone, but...) and enjoyed the weekend - so much - that we planned to go this year. STH price $65, but because of the demand, hotel prices SOARED. I paid (I think) $165 for Friday night and it included breakfast (Hilton, down the street) and rooms at Foxwoods were something like $265.In fairness, though, I think last year was the first time there was a real scramble for Winter Weekend tickets.

I live an hr away in New Haven and was planning on commuting each day. There really is not a need to stay overnight right?Last year was the first time I went to WW.

This year I paid more - over 200 - with no breakfast and if you want a room at Foxwoods for this, right now, they're going for $900 a night. That may come down as we get closer to the event but if you're going and haven't booked a room yet, you're probably going to be staying a 20-30 minute drive away (unless you have all the bucks).
sending PMIn the same vein as OD tickets. I am taking my family to Fenway for the first time this year (we live in CA). I've been about 10 times in my life but none since the early 90's so I'm wondering if folks can tell me what sections to try and get tickets in? There will be 4 of us and I'm willing to spend up to $500. Any ideas from the experts?
Nah, although I think they are 3-for-4 on significant snow that weekend. I just like to treat it as a getaway and not think about driving late in the day. The first year it felt like there were players wandering everywhere Friday night, which was a blast, but not so much since.I live an hr away in New Haven and was planning on commuting each day.

I like the LF grandstands (like sections 31/32)--you have great sight lines and a much better seat orientation than RF (and much closer to everything because of the short foul line, etc.) Just check the seating tool pinned in the ticket swap forum to make sure you're not behind a pole.In the same vein as OD tickets.

Even within the "good" and "bad" sections, there are some seats that are much better than others. Use http://www.preciseseating.com/fenwaypark.php to look at the exact seats that are on offer to see any impact with poles, walking traffic, or sightlines.In the same vein as OD tickets.

In and out in 2-3 minutes. Wasn't interested in any of the paks, but had full choice of tix for the 2 games I was looking for.Anyone having any luck in the VWR?
Don't be surprised where everyone will try to do the same thing, and create excess supply, such that you will have a difficult time doing so.Picked up two OD packs in the bleachers - section 42 row 39 - not what I'm used to but I'm in.
The other three games - not all that bad. Not good for "I want to take Little Johnnie to a game" - they're night games but there will be face value takers.
Oh yeah, but still there's demand this year. Or, I can use those and list my STH seats. And if I eat a tier 5 pair of bleacher tickets it's not a big deal.Don't be surprised where everyone will try to do the same thing, and create excess supply, such that you will have a difficult time doing so.
Yeah I'm in GS8. At least they are on an aisle. Prob get face but think I'll get something at leastDon't be surprised where everyone will try to do the same thing, and create excess supply, such that you will have a difficult time doing so.
Also.know your mlb login info. I forgot my ps and that 2 minute clock does NOT reset. I ended up registering as a new account on a random yahoo email rather than try to wait for a new password reset from mlbA few hints about navigating through the VWR -
- I started clicking in to it at 9:30 or so. At that time, you got right through and it told me "that's not on sale yet".. but at 9:40 or so it had me waiting. At 10:00 the screen popped open and I bought what I wanted. All done at 10:03.
- if you do get in and see what you want - and it's a high demand thing - BUY THE TICKETS -- don't go in, out, in, out - others will buy up what you don't. "Oh, I went in, and called my brother, and had the tickets in my cart, but, he said 'wait a minute, I have to see if little Jenny has a dance recital that day, uhn, let me check' "... and the timer expires, tickets released, and you go back in to get them and they're gone.
- have your credit card on file - you don't want to have the tickets in your "cart" and then lose them while you're fumbling around entering a credit card number , etc., and the time limit expires.
- the preciseseating.com page now requires registration. If you're not sure about the quality of the seats you're buying - have that page open. Most infield grandstand seats that are in the public sale pool, sold in quantities more than one - have some type of a pole issue. And take note that the Red Sox' definition of what "obstructed view" is , is far different from what most consumers would define it as.
- finally once you've obtained what you want - GET OUT OF THE SYSTEM. Your being in the purchasing area and not purchasing is locking out others.
STHs usually receive their ticket packages in mid-March.My season ticket guy told me March.
Winter Weekend attendees get to buy advance June/July/August tickets--it's usually the Saturday before the regular Saturday onsale of those tickets. Pretty sure there was no overlap with any expected March-sale lottery games (OD/NYY).What ticket marketplace?
