We all know that the Cubs are playing the Red Sox in Fenway for the first time in a long time the weekend of May 20-22, 2011. The Red Sox for a fundraiser are making Green Monster seats on Saturday May 21 available NOW. The tickets are not that bad (considering). I purchased 3 tickets for $800. Normally seats on the Monster sell for hundreds and thousands against the Yankees.
For those you you who have not been to Fenway, it is a wonderful old park, like Wrigley. I have been on the Green Monster and you are on top of the Left Fielder. They advertise these seats as the best in baseball and they are.
Lets get all Cub fans to buy the tickets.

A little rich for me but at least it is for charity

Hmm I've very tempted.
If you sit on top of the monster, can you walk around the rest of the stadium?
OT, I’ve always wondered if the Cubs would ever put seats on top of the scoreboard.

Don’t give ’em any ideas.

LOL
Not necessarily. It’s an interesting idea, though I don’t know how you’d get people up there.

I suppose.
But they put a whole new structure up there, behind what was originally just a wall. They can’t really do that on the Wrigley scoreboard. There would probably only be room for maybe 20 or 30 seats.

Hey the Ricketts are always looking for new revenue.
Those could be a sort of luxury suite of sorts.
It’ll probably never happen, but I think it’d be a cool place to watch a game.

Why on top of the scoreboard?
The money would be to let people buy seats INSIDE the scoreboard.
Who cares about the Blue Jays – A’s score, anyway?

Not happening. Nor should it.

Yes
Yes you can. You can walk all around the stadium and there is one staricase up to the Green Monster seats with a security guard at the bottom.
The event starts 3 hours before the game so you can see batting practice and walk around.

You would not regret it
And come May you will be kicking yourself if you don’t.

$267 a seat?
lol, no thanks. I’ll take my chances with their ticket lottery.

Actually, that wasn't a bad deal.
Face on those is $165, and you get field access and free food.

Didn't know that.
Still way too much for me. I’d love to make the trip, but only if I can get regular seats at face value.

I'll take my chances with the TV at Murphy's Bleachers.
I’d love to go to Fenway, but not at that price. I’ll try to get in sometime with the Royals in town. Love your signature, by the way. God, I miss George Carlin.

So the Red Sox
are rumored to be hot after Adrian Gonzalez, Justin Upton, etc. They are releasing a ticket package to the game of the year that benefits charity and people are falling over themselves to buy up tickets. Their stadium is already renovated. their team is always a contender.
We get an offer to buy overpriced tickets to games nobody wants to attend, an owner who is doing some tax shell game to have the city buy him a bunch of restauraunts, and a GM who seems to be content to add Aubrey Huff after a 5th place finish.
Life is so unfair sometimes.
DEJESUS!!!
I am curious about...
…what the secondary market is for Red Sox-Mariners, A’s, etc. tickets are. I dont think they made the playoffs last year.
Their renovation was done (dunno about gov’t assistance) when the economy was better, and they have every inch possible covered with ads. Does that please you aesthetically?
The Cubs will have people ‘falling over themselves’ to buy tickets to “the games of the year” against the Yankees, White Sox and Cardinals.
I am not defending the Ricketteseses, but I don’t want to become the Red Sox, either.

Yankees, maybe, because they only come to Wrigley about once a decade.
Sox and Cardinals come every year. I think they have priced those games too high.

I bet the Red Sox Nation (and I loathe the term) has the same angst about ticket prices Cub fans do.
I think the White Sox and Cardinal games will sell out, even at the ridiculous prices.

You can buy Red Sox bleacher tickets for $28.
Or less… “upper bleachers” are $12.

Last year you could buy tickets
to the Sox and Cards for less than face value.
DEJESUS!!!

been to fenway. i actually watched a game from the citgo sign outside the park.magical place when you first see it.
Please tell me the tickets for the Cubs v Red Sox game in Fenway haven't gone on sale yet

Blue mountains high .. Blue valleys low

One summer dream .. one summer dream ..
coda
ELO, 1975

Sometime in early 2011.
