Yankees Sold Out, But Tickets Available for all 4 White Sox Games

As of 8 a.m. this morning there were no tickets available for the 3 games with the Yankees this weekend. The Red Sox Web site had no tickets, and neither did the 24-hour automated telephone ticket line at 888-REDSOX6 (888-733-7696). If you want to go to any of the Yankee games this weekend, that leaves these options: 1) Keep checking redsox.com and the 24-hour ticket line, as availability can change from hour to hour. 2) Call the ticket office and speak to a ticket agent at 877-REDSOX9 (877-733-7699). Call about once an hour, as the availability on game days can change very quickly. The ticket office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but it is only open Monday through Friday. 3) Go to the day-of-game ticket sales window near Gate E on Lansdowne Street. Unfortunately, this method requires you to line up at about 2 p.m. for a 7:05 game. 4) Go to the Scalp-Free Zone near Gate B and the Ted Williams statue on Van Ness Street. Go about an hour and a half before game time. There will be a Red Sox employee there hooking up sellers and buyers, and you have a good chance to get tickets for face value, but get there early.

The good news is that there are tickets available at redsox.com for all 4 White Sox games next week. A wide variety of tickets are available, with most in the $30 to $50 range, including infield and outfield grandstand, right field box, and the new right field roof seats.

Paul McCartney at Fenway August 5th and 6th

It was recently announced that Paul McCartney will play two concerts at Fenway August 5th and 6th. Tickets range from $69 to $205 and will go on sale to the general public on Monday, June 29th. Check Ticketmaster.com for more information. There is a pre-sale going on this weekend at etix.com, but attempts to obtain tickets through the pre-sale have been inconsistently successful.

Each year for the past 5 years a major musical artist or group has played Fenway in July or August, including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett and The Police. The stage is set up in centerfield, just in front of the Bleacher Bar.

Scattered single tickets for next week's Yankee games now available

As of 6:20 this morning, there were scattered single tickets available for the June 9th and 10th Yankee games at Fenway available at redsox.com. The tickets were in many different areas, including loge box, infield grandstand and bleachers. If you just want to get into one of the games and watch it from the standing room areas, you can go into the ticket site and buy one bleacher ticket at a time until you get what you need. With the fees associated with each transaction, you would pay about $35 a ticket.

If you want to hold out for seats together for the Yankee series, you should go online early in the morning on June 7, 8, or 9 (about 5 or 6 a.m.) to see if any multiple seats together are released. If you can, it is also a good idea to go online randomly throughout the day, as you never know when tickets will be released.

Also, if you live fairly close to Fenway, you can go to the Scalp-Free Zone near Gate B and the Ted Williams statue near the corner of Van Ness and Ipswich streets. Arrive 2 hours before the game and wait. There are almost always fans looking to sell tickets for face value and Red Sox personnel handle all transactions.
