Boston Red Sox

The week after finishing camp I spent a week in Boston with my cousin and her family and managed to make it to a Red Sox game. Normally these games sell out well in advance and to purchase tickets online from a reseller like StubHub or from a scalper can get really expensive and I didn't want to shell out $80 + for some average seats.

I met up with 3 other people who were pretty random acquaintances... Katlynn who we met in Denver on our US road trip, Jesse who I couch-surfed with in Boston a few weeks earlier and a girl from Chicago who was couch-surfing with him for a couple of nights. We were all keen to go but none of us had tickets. The weather was pretty foul though and the game was delayed a couple of hours and after having a beer and a bite to eat at the House of Blues across the street from Fenway Park we hit the streets and took advantage of the poor weather to bargain a scalper down to $15 for each ticket.

We walked around for about 10 minutes then found 4 seats just out of the rain on 1st base behind the Red Sox dugout... sweet! Apart from a 45 minute rain delay in about the 3rd innings the weather held out. Oh, they beat the Toronto Blue Jays in case anyone was wondering?
