I still can't believe there are no happy hours in boston. someone please explain this one to me!
One of our illustrious ex-governors ( I think it was Dukakis) in about 85 or so decided he was going to spearhead a campaign against drunk driving by eliminating happy hour in the commonwealth. It has come up for repeal a few times but none of the elected officials has the balls enough to explain that eliminating happy hour has in no way decreased DUI's or alcohol related accidents.
There is no happy hour special, so to speak. But lots of bars have dealt with this by having a cheap beer all the time. For example, "the avenue" on commonwealth ave in Allston (a neighborhood about a mile from Fenway) has $2 drafts of certain types, all the time. Other bars have discounted prices on pitchers.
It's legal to be cheap all the time, just not at certain times.
Entered for both Boston shows. Hoping to get at least my first choice of night one as my brother will be going with me (and will be convenient since I also work in Boston). Hope to see all of you folks there!

RE: parking -- whenever I'm driving into a show from Worcester, I usually use these folks: http://www.parkwhiz.com/ - Cheap & usually event-only (so only if you plan on staying for the show and not several hours after it's over).

Fenway will be a nice warmup for the band before Wrigley...
Yes. I will be really happy if it's the London, ON of 2016.
London, 2013. The most underrated show of the past few years.
Also, put Boston Night 2 as my 1st choice, good luck everyone!

I think now that there is probably only going to be realistically 1 shot at tickets and that being on your first priority I am going to move the 2nd night into the first priority slot. Seems like more people are putting the first night as there first priority and the second night has slightly better odds.
Still doesn't seem real that Pearl Jam is playing Fenway. What a summer on tap!
Yep. Been wanting this for so long. If mother nature brings the good weather you know Boston will bring the hot crowd and Pearl Jam will bring the awesomeness!
The whole world will be different soon... - EV

Also a note to out of towners who take the T to the show..... The Fenway stop on the Green line is not Fenway Park. You will need to get off at Kenmore. It is the stop closest to Fenway Park. Also the E train doesn't got there as you can see on the map. B,C and D trains access Kenmore.
The bus system is the best kept secret. It goes everywhere the train doesn't, which is a lot of places. The train map makes it look like its convenient to most places, but there is a lot of space between those train lines...
Me and the bf put in for the Fenway shows, fingers crossed!

so parking is possible around fenway during games/events?
rate your experience between "fuck that shit" - "wow, that was easy!"
at The Police show a few years ago parking was $100 at several lots
I found a "bargin" for $50

It's against state law
