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.

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.

Ticket purchasing opportunity - act quickly

The Red Sox just announced a ticket purchasing opportunity that will likely be unavailable after the next day or two. If you are a member of Red Sox Nation, and you go to this link on the Red Sox Web site you will be able to buy tickets to the Tuesday, June 16th game against the Florida Marlins. But there is a catch -- first you have to buy a gift membership to Red Sox Nation for someone. Then you will receive an email telling you when you can log in on May 13th to buy your tickets for the June 16th game.

The first 1300 members of Red Sox Nation who take advantage of this offer to buy a gift membership will be guaranteed the ticket purchasing opportunity.

Also, the game on June 16th will be the first ever Red Sox Nation Day at Fenway.
