Red Sox Hotel Package Good Value for Boston ?

If it%26#39;s (Omni) Parker House, you%26#39;ve got one of the Grande Dames of Boston hotels. Doesn%26#39;t get any more downtown than that.

Go see the Red Sox early in the season while they%26#39;re still hot and haven%26#39;t begun their regularly scheduled post all-star game divebomb!

Would need to know a couple of things.

First, find the best deal you can get at that hotel without the tickets, and then tell us the price with the tickets.

Then, if you know where the tickets are, I%26#39;d be better able to say whether it%26#39;s a good value.

If you told me the stand-alone price of the hotel or an equivalent hotel was $200 a night, and that this package was $300 a night, and you were getting right field grandstands, I%26#39;d say no it%26#39;s not a good a deal.

If the difference were $20 and you were getting loge boxes, I%26#39;d say it%26#39;s a great deal.

Otherwise, there%26#39;s just not enough info to say.

Okay, I am thinking of biting for this too. But I think it is a bad deal. But being in lower Fairfiled County, CT I don%26#39;t know how to gert valuable Red Sox tickets:

The package costs $289 a night, and you must stay two nights at the Parker House. It includes two tickets to a Red Sox game. It also iincludes breakfast. No idea where the seats are.

That%26#39;s about $600. I know I can do better on lodging only. But can someone explain how on earth I could get Red Sox tickets?? Then I can compare. Thanks. Info on the package is below.

I would call the Omni Parker house %26amp; ask them where the seats are......... they may have season tix which are always in the same section. At least then you%26#39;d have something to do a fair comparison.

The deal does not sound bad. On hotels.com two weekend nights in August at the Parker House were priced at $239 each, which is not a bad price for a room in a decent hotel in Boston. So, the tickets are included for an extra $50. I would assume they are not loge box seats that cost $85. If they are $45 seats this would be a good deal since it is just about impossible to get Red Sox tickets at face value. Even if they are only $25 seats this is not outrageous given the scarcity of tickets.

If you don%26#39;t want to stay two nights and are doing so just because of the tickets, than that%26#39;s a whole %26#39;nother story.

Unless you want to take your chances on picking up tickets that weekend from a sidewalk seller, the only realistic way for you to get tickets is thru a ticket broker and that%26#39;s not face value. My ticket broker seats ended up costing $314.00 for four $27 face value seats (we used usatickets.com but there are others)

My three nights at the Omini Parker House (a junior suite for two adults and two children) was $692.

We didn%26#39;t eat breakfast any of the three mornings at the hotel as we found less expensive options (bagels down the street). But, if you get breakfast there it would be about $20 a head once you added tax and tip.

So, find out where their seats are. Go see what it would cost you on your own to buy similar seats and to book a similiar room and to eat breakfast.

The Parker House will only say ';they are grandstand seats.'; Well that doesn%26#39;t narrow it down much does it...

Looking at stubhub.com for some of the same dates... I can probably get a pair of tickets for between $100-$200. Assuming the worst at $200.... I believe I can get a hotel on priceline for around $100-$150 a night... Assuming the worst at $300 for the two nights plus $200 for the tickets that totals $500 鈥?compared to Omni%26#39;s deal which is about $600. I think I%26#39;m gonna piece meal it instead of the Omni package. That $100 will pay for parking, lunch at Bartley%26#39;s Burger Cottage, some Fenway franks, and a foam Sox finger.

I assume stubhub is reliable? I never used it before.
