To join Red Sox Nation in 2007 the Red Sox now are offering 3 levels of membership



For $199 you will be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase Monster Seats and get the MLB.TV package



Red Sox Nation Membership Benefits! Become a member of Red Sox Nation and choose from three great tiers, each offering terrific benefits. All Red Sox fans can also sign up for the free tier and become a Red Sox Nation Citizen. Guaranteed opportunity to purchase two ticketed Green Monster seats - Tickets not included. Must be purchased.

14.95 seems to be a pretty good deal for the Gameday Audio. I'm wondering how many people will drop 200$ just for the opportunity to buy monster seats.

If it gave me a grantee to buy tickets to ANY Sox game than I might.

This is so out of control.

Oh well, maybe I'll buy into it. I need to get Monster tix this year. Or I could rely on my brother again.

I just bought myself a $199 X-Mass present.
I like the MLB TV as I travel a lot and can put the game on my laptop. But the Monster tickets sold me.......I took one of my kids last year and need to take one other ones this year. I'm interested in seeing how they alot the tickets to RSN members and if they stop selling the top tier membership if it gets too popular...???

It says that the two expensive packages are limited and I got myself the 14.95 again and I thin kit was the bumper sticker that sold me this time, not the fact that I get my name on a card other than drivers license.

Does anyone know if there's a catch here? Are you guaranteed a time frame of 30 seconds when you can buy monster seats which will be determined in a random e-mail that will be sent to you at 4am on New Years Day, or is it a guaranteed opp to wait in virtual waiting room hell for 8 hours just to finally get through with the surprise that your 2 tickets are to separate games against Tampa Bay and KC? Just curious of how "opportunity" is being used here.

I don't know, but guessing there will be a "window" of time, most likely a short window. Also I'm guessing we won't be able to get all games...but I hope I'm wrong.

Does anyone know what the face value for Green monster tickets were last year?

most were $125 for everyone else $ 150 for Yankees/ Angels etc..

Just checked the Sox web site and the Monster Pack is "Sold-out"

I wanted to get the Green Monster seats, but I opted for the $100 package.

Interesting that Monster seats are already on sale at Stubhub.com. I contacted the Sox ticket office yesterday and asked when the annual virtual waiting room-fest will be for single game tickets. I received this response:

Thank you for your email. Tickets for select 2007 April, May, and September games are now on sale. To check availability and to purchase tickets, please go online at www.redsox.com, call our touchtone ticketing at 617.482.4SOX, or speak to a live operator by calling 877.REDSOX9.

Remaining single-game tickets, including all Green Monster and Right Field Roof tickets will be available at a later date, likely in late January or early February. Please watch our website, www.redsox.com, for updates as they become available.



Boston Red Sox Ticket Services

I don't think obstructed view or general admission SRO should be construed to be "now on sale". I also find it amazing how many Sox tickets are available on sites like stubhub abd ticketliquidator.com at significant premiums (Bleacher seats for $75 each??)

It appears the Sox won't have as many single game seats available this year as they've released a large number to brokers including Monster Seats.

Dammit! I just heard the news about MLB EI, so I figured I'd drop the $200 and get mlb.tv along with the opportunity to get two monster seats. I guess that's out the window now as well.

Screw you DirecTV.

Has anyone with the Monster package (like myself) heard when the window to get these seats will be extended? I figure it must be before the winners of the lottery get a shot.

I was wondering the same thing.

The good news: I just got my Monster Membership card and nifty Red Sox Nation sticker.......

The bad news: No info on the monster ticketing program.

I bought one of the $14.95 memberships, as I use GameDay Audio a lot when I'm on the road for my job.

One thing no one has mentioned, and something I'm curious about, is the claim that Red Sox Nation members get to enter Fenway through their own special gate (I forget which it is off the top of my head). Does this actually save time?

Just got the e-mail.......

Monster Membership Ticket Sale
Thank you for becoming a Red Sox Nation Monster Member. This e-mail is to notify you that the Monster Member private Green Monster sale will begin on February 21 at 12:01 p.m. ET.

You will receive your special code via e-mail on Tuesday, February 20. You will need this code to access the private sale ticket window - available only to Red Sox Nation Monster Members.

If you have any questions regarding your membership, please call the MLB.com toll-free Customer Service Hotline at (866) 800-1275 or e-mail redsoxnation@mlb.com.

The "Special gate" is a joke.....you don't get in any earlier and the special "gate" just becomes a regular gate once they open the doors. The gate is by the bleachers...the area near the ticket window on Lansdown street.

I got the same email...interesting that they put tickets on sale during school vacation. I'm guessing some people might be on cruises or at Disney and it will tough to get on-line.....I'm going to hold off on some skiing on Wednesday as I'll be in the VWR!

I got the $100 package that comes with 2 RF seats - got the email last night but didn't check until now. Now when I try to login to claim my seats, I can't get through the VWR because the damn 2nd chance Yankee drawing sale is going on at the same time. Nice timing.

to anyone who has the Green Monster membership:

have you gotten the email yet with the code?

I got an email last week telling us that we would get this code today- Tuesday- but so far nothing yet. Sale for the Monster membership starts tomorrow.

Anybody get that magic email yet? it is 5:36 pm and I am beginning to panic!

I called MLB, and they sent me my email. A couple of notes from it and my call:

They have some kind of backlog but will send all code by midnight tonight. If you don't get an email- do 2 things:

1- check spam filters- it may be there
2- call them at (866) 800-1275

My email noted that if for some reason, you don't get the chance to purchase monster seats in this window- which goes from Wed- Friday- you will be contacted with a second sale date.

Which means I think that they may re-open this type of RSN membership again.

Got the e-mail at about 6:15......

Anybody know which games/rows will be available for this sale? I'm going to be really angry if it's just midweek, April, Kansas City, standing room tickets.

I just bought mine- about 5 minutes of VWR then 19 open windows and all of them hit by 12:15.

There were a few games notified as sold out- already-these included games in the Giants series and the Orioles (?) series in May. I did not look for any other games than the one I wanted- Friday 8/17 vs Angels. I was able to get front row tickets in Sect M3.

I did notice that although the weekday games were available- the weekend dates in that series did not have a "T" icon.

Just got 'em.......
Sept 16th Section M8 Row 1 Sox vs. MFY!!!!!!

Yeah, I got Yanks tix too. Surprisingly pleasant experience all around. Go Front Office!

I would be a MLB TV subscriber or a owner of a fan pack if I had a credit card... I hate being a student...

re: Exclusive entry to Fenway Park on game days via "Nation's Way", Gate E

Has anyone ever used this 'exclusive entry' before (now keep it clean...or not)? What's that really all about, is there really any difference entering gate E & flashing your RS membership card than entering from other gates around the park? Has anyone ever done this before?

Also, reagarding the $110 tier: (Two tickets included (Outfield Grandstand) : were the 2 tickets included in that tier in 07' or did the 07' 2nd tier just include an oppertunity to buy tickets (for an additional cost)?

The "exclusive entry" is a joke, it's the same entrance as the bleachers and you can't get in any earlier. I'm amazed they still have that has a benefit.

$250 for the chance to buy $150 tickets to very overrated seats. Sounds like a great deal!!!!!!!!

I sat on the Monster last year and while they are good seats it's not the best thing ever and I'd never pay the $150 a ticket that I paid again. Way overpriced...

I'm reading that the Monster Nation that was suppose to be automatic renewal, didn't renew..I'm going to call the ticket office, but this is bull.....and now the "new" Monster seats are sold out.
Dr. Charles leaves and the place goes to Shi$#ET

Oh goodness, now the Lowell Spinners are selling their own cards to 'Thread Sox Nation' for the cost of $25.

What you get:


1. The opportunity to buy Spinners tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
2. A 10% discount to the Spinners Souvenir Store.
3. A cool Jacoby Ellsbury limited addition Bronze Statue. Available May 1st

Don't Hesitate! Membership is Limited!!!!! (their words, not mine).

Link to official offer

If one were to purchase the Ultimate fan pack, are there specific games you get to choose from or do they dictate the game you attend?

I'd hate to purchase the pack only to find out that I wouldn't be able to attend a game on a certain date. anyone know?

Stevie B

could be time to change the thread tittle....

I just bought the $14.95 package for this year. I used to have XM and was able to listen to most of the games on it. The gameday audio is well worth the price and I will be able to listen to the games anywhere and anytime I have my laptop with me.

I haven't renewed my membership yet but was planning too simply for the MLB audio package.
Anyway, I just recieved an email letting me know that I only had to take action if a DIDN'T want to renew!!

Geesh, I wish they'd do that same thing with the tickets I've purchased this year.

'If you want to go to Opening Day 2009 & once again purchase a 'Patriots Day' pack, don't do a damn thing. We'll send along your tickets in just a few short weeks so you don't have to spend your weekends sitting in virtual waiting rooms. Just our way of saying 'Thanks' for your continued support'. Then we'd be talking!

I wish everyone at least let you know they'd be automatically renewing. I've got some services where I don't even know my membership is up until I see another charge to my credit card. That sucks.

Im sorry, I just dont want to be a member of any club that would have Hank Steinbrenner as a member.

What are you going to do when you get to Hell?

Just sayin'.
