Boston's Liberty Hotel Offers Red Sox Packages

Filed under: Journeys, Sports



As all baseball fans (even the Yankee faithful) know, Red Sox Nation stretches far and wide. With that in mind, Boston's Liberty Hotel, which occupies a lavishly converted city jail in Beacon Hill, is offering overnight packages that include hard-to-get tickets to Fenway Park.

The offer, called Fenway Fan or Foe, includes one night's accommodations for two, a pair of Pavilion Club tickets to a Red Sox game and breakfast for two. It's available on four upcoming spring weekends: April 17-19 (when the Baltimore Orioles will be in town); May 8-10 (Tampa Bay Rays); June 5-7 (Texas Rangers); and June 19-20 (Atlanta Braves). The price starts at $725.

The 300-room hotel opened in September 2007 after a $150 million transformation of the mid-nineteenth-century Charles Street Jail. An exquisite Romanesque structure, it features exposed brick walls, wrought-iron chandeliers and an atrium (pictured) that stretches 90 feet high. Among many winks and nods to the building's old days as a lockup, the first-floor bar is called Alibi. It's located in what was used to be the "drunk tank" of the jail.

Ballpark Pens

Filed under: Writing Instruments


With more and more famous ballparks either disappearing or getting redone each year, these Ballpark pens might be your last chance to get your hands on a bit of history. The pens are andcrafted from salvaged wooden stadium seats. THe barrels and disc at top are made from wooden seats from historic stadiums. The pens ship with capless rollerball refill but can also use Parker style ballpoints and each is laser engraved with the name of the ballpark and years in existence. The prices vary depending on the stadium. Fenway Park sells for $250 and Yankee Stadium is $190.

Red Sox Fans Paying Less For Series Seats

Filed under: Sports

The Red Sox may be back in the World Series but Boston fans are slightly less crazed than they were in 2004 when the Red Sox won the Series back in 2004. Ticket resellers in Boston say that their prices are down 20 to 40 percent compared with 2004. Jim Holzman, the owner of Boston-based AceTicket.com told the Boston Globe that a bleacher seat that the Red Sox sold for $75, which went for $1,200 in 2004 is now priced at $850 on his website. StubHub, the ticket business owned by eBay reports that the average price of their tickets is down about $300 to $1,465. The average price for tickets to the games at Coors Field in Denver is $781. The Rockies ticket website crashed after the team tried to sell 20,000 tickets for each game scheduled at Coors Field.

There are the dedicated fans willing to pay in the thousands for the right seat. One fan paid over $21,500 for two box seats behind home plate at Fenway. Now that's a fan.
