Coming Together!

Our baseball trip is really starting to come together now!  Our train tickets arrived at Matt’s office the other day and we finished ordering all of our tickets for the baseball games this weekend.  We knew tickets at Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium would be the most expensive of the 5 stadiums we were visiting…but HOLY.COW.  It was unbelievable to see the markup on the tickets.  The game we are seeing in Boston is a game against the Phillies, so it was a “Black-out” series and when tickets went on sale Saturday morning all they had left was standing room only. I don’t know what prompted Matt to check Boston tickets Saturday morning, but he did…and we both ended up “sitting” in the “Boston Red Sox Virtual Waiting Room” for tickets to the game we wanted and then we ended not even buying anything because they only had single seats left.  We ended up getting AMAZING seats off of StubHub…but paying more than I’ll ever admit for them…front row seats along the first base line…technically field level seats, but there are like 5 rows in front of us.  So…really, I guess they are more like row 6…but whatever…it’s row 1 of our section.  Make sense?  Good.

awesome, huh?

Our tickets at Yankee Stadium are on the second level along the 3rd base line and while they were expensive…they weren’t anywhere close to what we had to pay at Fenway.  Yankee’s tickets aren’t on sale through their website yet, so we bought these straight through StubHub and didn’t even wait around to see what we might be able to get from MLB.com.  They are playing the Astros when we are there, so we know it won’t be a “Black-out series”…haha…but they sell out their games no matter who they are playing, so we went ahead and bought them.

pretty dang sweet, huh?

Now that we have all of our game tickets and transportation lined up…we just need hotels to stay in!  We will be booking those in the next few weeks!  Hurry up, June!
