Erik Tries To Buy Red Sox Tickets While Contemplating Which Family Member To Exclude
Posted January 27, 2006, in Baseball by Erik J. Heels (permalink: http://www.erikjheels.com/513.html)
How can a family of five buy Red Sox tickets when there is a four-ticket maximum?
One of my new year's resolutions was to go to a Red Sox game. But the Red Sox are not making it easy. Their website says "Single-game tickets go on sale via the internet and touch-tone telephone beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 28. There is a two-game, four-tickets per game limit on all transactions." We have three kids. Which kid should I exclude from the game? Or should I leave my wife at home? Or should I stay at home?
I have written the Red Sox to ask these same questions. I'm not holding my breath.

Heels" [DELETED] Subject: Redsox Ticket Info Request Greetings, My wife and I have three children and would like to attend Red Sox games as a family. But for the second year, the Red Sox are only allowing fans to purchase four tickets per game (http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/bos/ticketing/singlegame.jsp). How can I buy five tickets for my family? By the way, what happened to the family bargain games, last seen in 2003 (http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/bos/ticketing/ bos_ticketing_discount.jsp)? Under this program, I took my oldest son to his first Red Sox game on 09/17/03. It ended up being the only time the Sox were shutout at Fenway in 2003, but we still enjoyed the experience (http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/wrapup.jsp? ymd=20030917&content_id=531696&vkey=wrapup2003&fext=.jsp). Regards, Erik
