Red Sox Tickets

Re: Red Sox Tickets

I live 5 minutes from Boston, have all my life, and I can still go around and simply walk there to have a great time. The history is as rich as any place in the US and it jumps out at you. The culture and street performers is an awesome treat too. Even without Fenway you could spend a couple days and have a blast.

Modern Pastry is good too. As is Mike's. I recommend the lobster claw. Mmm, 9200 calories of goodness.

Re: Red Sox Tickets

Ana's Taqueria - aside from my family, this is by far the biggest thing I miss about living in Boston. Here you will find the single greatest burritos and quesadillas of all time. What makes this place so great is the cheap price combined with the amazing taste. I seriously love this f'n place. It is also accessible by T from Fenway Park. There are at least 4-5 Ana's Taqueria's in the Boston area, so pick one nearest to where you are staying. If you don't go here while you visit Boston...you should be outcast from society. Seriously, there are even Facebook groups dedicates to Ana's, it is that popular.

If you get a chance, you have to go here for a meal. I go there everytime I visit my sister in Boston. it's amazing.

Great recommendations guys......When I first saw the place "trani", I thought I was being set up for a different kind of experience

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what kinda clientele they have there.

It's a Lobster TAIL, not claw. And it is ALL GOODNESS....

I would go the scalper route. Just walking in between the Kenmore T stop and Fenway, you will see about 20+ people selling tix. The bleachers wouldn't be a bad place to get tix (they're not actually bleachers, they're the normal plastic seats - better than the wooden ones in the grandstands). As long as you don't mind drunk people

Re: Red Sox Tickets

Ok so we're planning on going to Fenway early Saturday morning to try and get standing room only tickets. How early should we get there?

And is it safe to wear a Yankee jersey in Fenway?

You'll get harassed, obviously, not nothing serious. As long as you can put up with the "**** yous" and the "Yankees Suck" standard stuff.

Damn, ballsy move. I haven't tried that before but let us know how it works out.

I'd imagine you'd have to get there early as hell, probably around 5-6am.

Re: Red Sox Tickets

Yea thats pretty much what we were planning.

Hopefully it works out.

Went well.

We actually didn't get there until 8, when there were about 30 people there. We easily got tickets, sat in the grandstand down the right field line for $30. With the rain delays we spent about 13 hours at Fenway on Saturday but it was well worth it. Fenway is an incredible place to watch a game, I can't wait to go back.

Edit: Oh, and the Sox fans were a lot tamer than I expected and had heard from others. I wore my Jeter jersey, and I don't think any Sox fan said anything negative to me the entire day. There was some drunk Sox fan a few rows behind us who almost got thrown out for what he was saying to some other Yankee fan, and then there was a fight a few sections over, but that was it. Just a fun place to watch a game, great environment.

My theory on this (and wearing a Sox jersey to Yankee Stadium), is just dont be a dick about it and you'll be fine. Just don't go overboard cheering for your team. I'm sure its not always the case, but it should be.

Glad it went well. The fans have softened up there since '04.
