Boston Thursday Roll Call

[auror]

Interesting. My fiancé and I have been dying to try the new food hall right there at the stadium so will probably try that and go to Greatest bar. The food hall has a pizza stand called “Apizza” if any of you want to try and compare (I will be)

Food Hall will be packed, although the earlier start time might relieve some of the pressures from the non-attending dinner people.

Was the food good last night? What was the set-up?

food was terrible

Think my strategy of buying the first ticket and not the 2nd is backfiring. Prices are much higher.

I was thinking being there around 4 would be a good time after lunch and before dinner

Have you been before?

Yes. I've only had a few of the places, though. The ramen was okay. Smoke shop is okay for the north.

Wow ramen just “okay”? That’s a serious chef whose name is on that restaurant.

I’m definitely trying the Apizza stand

Guess I'll be watching on TV at a local spot.

Same…

Thurs prices dropped sharply in the hours leading up to game. Will hold out for same on Sat.

I checked and prices are down on StubHub, look about flat on Ticketmaster and are way up on Tick Pick and VividSeats. Honestly if not for the fees, I'd have bought the Club seats I just found for $394 each. But $141 in fees is just gouging. That's over 35% in fees.

That was gonna be my plan as well when I saw the sharp price drop yesterday.

Problem may be supply. TickPick (which i believe aggregates other sites as well as sells) only has about 900 tix available. Down from 5-6k last night. There were still a good 1-1.5K early in day yesterday for S16 game.

I was very close yesterday to pulling trigger on a pair of reasonable corner balcony seats for Saturday at $220. Oh well.

Got my 2 tickets and this is probably a stupid question, the 2 tickets which I transferred to apple wallet don’t have a bar code on them however there is a circular image with a phone that says hold near reader.

I would assume that would ok to scan, right?

Yeah they use an NFC (near field communication) system with those. Works great. Faster than scanning. Same as you see at DisneyWorld.

Edit: if you open in the Ticketmaster app I’m pretty sure it uses the barcode. But NFC is fast.
