Gordon Edes - Ticket Info for Opening Day, Monster Seats, Yanks

The Sox just issued this release regarding sales of tickets for Opening Day, Monster seats and the Yankees series.

Registration for a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase tickets for select 2008 Red Sox home games including Opening Day, all nine home contests versus the New York Yankees, as well as the chance to purchase tickets to the highly sought after Green Monster and Right Field Roof Deck locations began at NOON TODAY..


For fans not comfortable using on-line methods, the Red Sox will also place tickets on sale via telephone at (877) RED-SOX9 for each of the three categories according to the schedule listed below.


Fans may register online at redsox.com through noon on the day of each drawing. Three separate random drawings will take place. There is no fee to register, and fans can register for all three random drawings at once.

Recieved the email last night, I lost but my better half won! (yippie for me...umm, and her too).

Any fellow rooters luck out? If so, wondering if folks will be trying for Opening Day tix or a Yank game?

Rejected 3 times over...

I got the rejection email last night.

Likewise. Right now, I have zero games lined up. Except the RR ones!

I'm out on this round too.

Holding out hope for the other drawings.

Out. But at least I get a 10 percent discount from the RS online store.

Posted in McG's, but my mother was chosen. So, that works out great for me.

In for the 2nd chance OD/Yanks drawing. I'm hoping for OD, even if it's last-row bleachers. I just want to be there.
