Good luck with that. All that left are the Sat/Sun pass or the hotel package.

They only sell Friday tickets to those who buy the Weekend Hotel stay. You cannot buy a Friday ticket. If I was going this year I would actually like that. Limited crowds! First crack at the garage sale. I believe they are offering special photo opps.

Correct! Not going this year. With this economy I can't risk it. If you do the weekend package plan on spnding $1000 just on the room and Soxfest. Then add %500 for boose, $1000 for game used, $300 for drinks with the players. Etc, It gets pricy!

Completely understandable. Last year we did the package. This year, we just have the Saturday pass and will have to get up super early to be on the road.

$800 for booze over two nights? Who the hell are you, Nick Nolte?

I will be there all weekend. I use this as my own staycation.

Wine/Drinks/Beer etc at ht e palmer House. Anywere from $6.00 to $11.00 EA. Multiply that times four people. It gets up there. The food at the palmer house is pricey as well.

I guess if it was just one person for the whole weekend it would be less.
