A trip to a mall this weekend might have you coming home with more than your standard purchases. It seems that the Red Sox are planning on keeping their sell-out streak alive in a tough economy by aggressively marketing their tickets. A series of television and radio spots starting on Sunday and a ticket caravan on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
The tour will be making stops in each of the New England states and passing out 1000 vouchers for a guaranteed spot in the virtual waiting room line. Besides the vouchers, they'll be handing out pocket schedules and souvenirs to calm the unruly masses as they wait. And at each stop you'll have the opportunity to register for an opening day drawing that includes a tour, being allowed to watch batting practice, and four tickets to opening day against the Rays.
The schedule:
Connecticut (January 17):
West Farms Mall, West Hartford (11:00 am)
Crystal Mall, Waterford (3:00 pm)
Maine (January 19):
L.L. Beane Flagship Store, Freeport (10:00 am)
Massachusetts (January 18):
Holyoke Mall, Holyoke (12:00 pm)
New Hampshire (January 18):
Mall of New Hampshire, Manchester (12:00 pm)
Pheasant Lane Mall, Nashua (4:00 pm)
Rhode Island (January 17):
Warwick Mall, Warwick (10:00 am)
Vermont (January 19):
University Mall, South Burlington (10:00 am)
Diamond Run Mall, Rutland (4:00 pm)
They will also be passing out vouchers in the greater Boston area on January 22, with actual locations being revealed at a later time.
If you're serious about getting a voucher it seems like it might be worth the effort to drive down to Rhode Island or up to Maine. Each state has 1000 vouchers but RI and ME only have one stop.
And if that doesn't work, the virtual waiting room will be open for business on January 24.
