November 22, 200520 yr I just saw a post on e-bay for some guy selling two lower deck box seats for almost $7,000 on e-bay for season only - not the playoffs! Having recently purchased season tickets I e-mailed him and told him I thought he was nuts since you can buy them from the Sox at $4820 AND get the playoff tickets. After a few obscenities he said he couldn't put up with having to sit with Sox fans for six months and he was ahead since he got 4 world series tickets and hopes to sell the playoff tickets when we go to the series again next year! As a life long Sox fan it pains me to see people who are not fans profiteering on tickets real fans cannot get! I know life isn't fair but wish SOX FANS COULD BE THE ONES ABLE TO BUY TICKETS AND GO TO THE PLAYOFF GAMES.

I agree - but that doesn't mean I have to like it! It could be worse it could be the team that is scalping the tickets! Let's hope that only happens on the North side.

Nobody is going to pay those ridiculous prices and Ebay charges it's fees based on the asking price. So that dumbass just paid money to list an auction that had no chance of selling.

Actually he called me some unprintable names when I suggested that and he responded he had six people watching - I told him to let me know when someone actually bids on it cause they would have to be a moron! As W.C. Fields said there's a sucker born every minute - I don't know if the lower bowl is sold out someone may be desperate! The whole thing makes me mad ! In an ideal world the good seats would go to fans who care about the SOX!

If you want lower level season tickets, you can get them for face value.

Box Seats must be getting close - when we got our tickets a few weeks ago they were out to 153 and 112 in the lower deck boxes - by now they should be getting close.
November 23, 200520 yr The guy's best bet instead of being a retard and trying to sell all the tickets at once is to sell them individually. Just by selling opening day, the Cubs series, Yanks series and Red Sox series he should come pretty close to covering the amount he paid... Edited November 23, 200520 yr by Iwritecode
