(As it turned out, it was a 1-0 win for the Red Sox in one of the final games that Lester pitched before being diagnosed with cancer in 2006).<BR/><BR/>The thing that killed me was when I first got in and selected a game that was sold out, I got kicked back out! Didn't get a second chance to alter my search criteria. <BR/><BR/>That happened a second time, too. So, after 7 hours and three tries, I decided to go for a team/seats/day of week that was more likely to be available than any other.<BR/><BR/>Not going to do that again.<BR/><BR/>Hope your experience was better than mine, Adam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213404.post-63185985547617903352008-12-16T09:19:00.000-05:002008-12-16T09:19:00.000-05:00@adamcohen - hope you got what you were waiting fo...@adamcohen - hope you got what you were waiting for. Sadly, this was the first year I didn't bother trying to buy tix given my geo-challenged situation.<BR/><BR/>@IHTSMTH no prob with you not liking the Sox and I don't delete comments (unless they are clearly spam) but next time, just ping me and I'd be happy to consider linking to your blog.Aaron_Strouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964204478772858370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213404.post-53938154379883437612008-12-16T08:38:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:38:00.000-05:00PAPELDOUCHE!www.ftheredsox.blogspot.comlove your b...PAPELDOUCHE!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>www.ftheredsox.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>love your blog!I Hate the Sox more than Hitlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998554974652006876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213404.post-90085670079825820092008-12-14T20:10:00.000-05:002008-12-14T20:10:00.000-05:00Hey Adam - My strategy had always been to know peo...Hey Adam - My strategy had always been to know people that have season tickets and get on their "games for sale" mailing lists. <BR/><BR/>Now I have season tickets (1/4 share) and will put you on mine. ;-)<BR/><BR/>BTW... you and I should go to at least one this year.Jim Storerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319071534216133962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213404.post-52871945816043642822008-12-13T13:00:00.000-05:002008-12-13T13:00:00.000-05:00I took am in the waiting room , on two computers. ...I took am in the waiting room , on two computers. last year took me 14 hours to get tix. it was worth it though.Waiting around is kinda a tradition now , haha.
