Hi im hoping to come over for the yankees boston game on 8/6 , when do season ticket holders physically get them in there hand , am i correct in saying that the season ticket is a book full of tickets (reason i ask , my soccer team uses a swipe card method, thought they may of introduced this as new stadium technology and all that) , Someone on ebay said late march this right .

Last year i paid $120 dollars on ebay for a pair of yankees reds tickets , how much should i be expecting to pay for yankees boston and whats the max i should go since its the new stadium and all .

Usually we get them about two weeks before the home opener. But since the Yankees are playing two exhibition games vs the Cubs on April 3 & 4 it might be a week or two before that date.

Are the exhibition games included int he Full season??
Two weeks before whatever our first games are sounds about right. I heard some talk about that swipe card method, but previously as a plan holder, we got a book of tickets. As far as I understand, stubhub now doesnt send you the physical tickets, but rather electronically.

It has a bleacher seat for $64 , are the bleachers not alot cheaper , is this the price i should be expecting to pay for a ticket at this game ?

StubHub is reliable. Especially now that they've made an agreement with MLB, as long as you're not purchasing tickets to the Red Sox, all tickets are now E-Tickets, so if you purchase through them, it basically takes the barcode of the ticket sold, invalidates it, and sends a new barcode in an email to the purchaser.

I wouldn't suggest buying through StubHub though, unless you want to pay more than you should. Just go through Craigslist, and you should be able to get tickets for at least 20% cheaper. Sure, there will be people who are trying to run scams, but just use common sense, plus, you'll get an actual ticket stub, and not just an email.

As for exhibition games, the full season includes them.

Stubhub guarantees the authenticity, and can do so even easier now that they send electronic tickets.

I may very well go with stubhub , since there electronic and everything , Say i got two tickets will they both be on the one sheet of A4 , or is there 2 seperate PDF files ,

Also can i print it in black and white or does it have to be in colour

When printed off is the barcode huge or is it the size of the ticket

Black and white would be fine.

The barcode itself shouldnt be that big, but the pdf will have all the same info a regular ticket would have on it, andmaybe an advertisement.

Dunno what other sites for tickets take paypal besides ebay, although im sure there are.

If you get an electronic ticket it will be on two separate pages, not sure if it will be two different PDF files though. The black and white bar code is all that needs to be read at the entrance, you could even wait to print them out when you are here. The bar code is only 2" x 3" or so, but you should bring the whole printed ticket, which is on an A4 sheet of paper.

Anyone can use PAYPAL. On caiglist you will see some yankee tickets just ask them if they take Paypal. I have done it in the past. Most people slling online have paypal accounts. All you need to do is have them sign up and get their e-mail address.

You will get a separate page for each ticket. I have bought e-tickets many times.

I know a guy who frames his e-tickets from games that are important to him, like the All-Star game, and actually they look pretty good framed. I like the actual stubs myself, but I think those will become relics in a couple years.

Yeah i can understand why he would prefer the actual stub to a bit of paper this is his first time to the big apple and first time to yankee stadium The new , is ebay the only good place to get tickets that have the stub cause stubhub seems mostly to be e-tickets

Is $120 for a pair of bleacher seats on ebay too much against the redsox


Are bleacher seats just benches that have a number bit or they actual seats in the new stadium.

IIRC $65 or so (before fees) is the standard price on StubHub for games against the Red Sox in the outfield grandstand and bleachers. And yes, they will be benches.
