Teaparty concerts?(beating the Fenway horse to death, again)

Post by icarus »

I was on the Red Sox website and they mentioned another link to buy tickets, which I thought was interesting. I'm surprised that there is a local ticket site competing for tickets. I'm also curious as to how this works logistically. Does one site get half the seats and the other get the other half?

Has anyone ever seen something like this?
The Link:
http://boston.cc.com/

Also, it doesn't say anything on the Red Sox site about season ticket holders getting early tickets either. Of course they may not be telling us common folk. If you're a season ticket holder they probably notify you by mail.
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand.

My impression is that Teaparty Concerts will not actually be selling the tickets. In tiny print at the bottom of that page you see that...

Teaparty Concerts is a division of ClearChannel Entertainment

And in the About Us -- "Clear Channel Entertainment, New England's largest producer of live music and other events offers something for concert fans of all musical tastes from today's new artists to the legends of years past. We bring world-class entertainment to America's premier amphitheater, Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts, FleetBoston Pavilion located on Boston's waterfront, the newly constructed FleetCenter and a host of other quality venues."

So I think come ticket buying time the boston.cc.com website will actually redirect you to Ticketmaster's web site. Which in heavy usage periods could cause a very unwelcome delay.

Haven't seen anything yet for season ticket holders either.
