Question regarding Red Sox tickets

I will be in Boston this weekend. I know the Red Sox are playing in town. I don%26#39;t have tickets and was wondering if it is pretty hard to scalp up there (the game is sold out). Also how much do they usually go for? The cheaper the better...don%26#39;t care if the seats are bad, would just like to experience Fenway.

The scalpers will be out in full force along Brookline Ave and in Kenmore Square around the T station. They won%26#39;t be cheap, and if they%26#39;re too good to be true, it%26#39;s probably a setup. You can hang out at Fenway at the Will Call window and see if tickets get released after the third inning. Tickets are set aside for players%26#39; wives, special guests, etc. and many times can go unused. With this weekend%26#39;s series being against Oakland, and given the time of year, tickets will be scarce as hen%26#39;s teeth.

Try EBay, www.stubhub.com, www.boston.craigslist.org, any local ticket agency or your hotel concierge. Call your conceirge in advance to determine if they will reserve ticket(s) for you at their source.

Ebay is a good resource, you can sometimes get lucky on a good deal there. Also, keep in mind that it%26#39;s not only scalpers who sell outside Fenway, but also regular people who just have a couple of tickets they couldn%26#39;t get rid of and just want to get near face value (last time I went, I was sitting behind a couple who had bought tickets off of the people sitting next to them at half the face value). Another trick is to wait until after the first inning and buy them from a scalper, since they%26#39;ll be pretty desperate at that point to sell. Unfortunately, Oakland will be in town this weekend and they are a HUGE draw, so prices will be steep.

If you don%26#39;t care where you seat, I recommend trying for standing room tickets. You can stand pretty much anywhere except the Monster and bleachers, they even put a large concourse in the right infield for standing, and the view is good. It%26#39;s a fun place to meet and talk with people too and what could be better than always being first in line for the beer and bathrooms?
