We just secured tickets to 2 RedSox-Yankees games.

Here in the Boston metro area, it is next to impossible to get Red Sox tickets. Here’s what they do:

First, tickets go on sale via the web. This happens on a specific Saturday. People are limited to how many tickets a transaction to prevent scalpers from buying a huge lot. We decided to skip that this year.

Second, you can enter three lotteries. The Yankee lottery, the Green Monster lottery and the Right Field Roof lottery. I usually sign up for all three. If you win the lotteries, you can buy tickets after sitting in a virtual waiting room. I have been stuck in those waiting rooms for over an hour in the past…. This year, I didn’t get any of the lotteries. Bummer

Thirdly, Those people who break the rules of the lotteries get their ticket orders canceled by the Red Sox. They hold a second chance lottery from those who lost the first three. I won that! So Thursday,  atnoon, Jay had three browsers going and I had three browsers going. After 45 minutes, one of my windows was pulled from the waiting room. With my password, I can only buy 4 tickets total. We had previously chosen which games we wanted to go to. I got seats right behind home plate for the Yankees in April and up the first base line in September.

Yes! (pumping fist action)
