    To the OP. Look at jumping on the train & going to the Sam Adams brewery, doing the tour. It was free back in 2018 and was a good day out away from the city.

    Does anyone know when the fan to fan ticket selling will be available?

    It is open for most shows, but because Fenway is through the MLB ballpark app, I don't think those tickets can be sold/transferred until a week or so before the shows.

    I’ve got my custom Yankees 10 Vedder t-shirt, but not sure it’s worth the potential hassle 😬.

    I stayed in the North End in 2018.  Just took an Uber to Fenway both nights.  Was a breeze getting there.  Getting back was a little difficult took about 30 minutes to get an Uber back.  The North End is my favorite area in Boston. So I will deal with the extra time after the shows.

    Avoid driving in Boston and take Uber. That is all.

    It's getting to be that you could just have an awesome week of shows without leaving Lansdowne St:

    9/14 - Manchester Orchestra @ House Of Blues
    9/15 - Pearl Jam @ Fenway
    9/16 - Kings Of Leon @ MGM Music Hall
    9/17 - Pearl Jam @ Fenway
    9/17 (alt) - Clutch @ House Of Blues 
    9/18 - PJ Harvey @ MGM Music Hall

    Checked out the accoms listed here but they are out of budget. Anyone find anything reasonable recently? I'm able bodied and like to walk. Subway is fine. Won't have a car.

    Stay in Newton, Ma and take the Greenline D from Riverside Station and back after.  Easy peasy.

    BTW, I’ve been to many shows at Fenway, it’s a shitty concert venue unfortunately.  It’s outdated and (not that you’ll be sitting) but seats are horrid.  Acoustics vary depending on where you’re sitting.

    You forgot to mention that everything you buy is expensive. 

    One time was good enough. I enjoyed being on the field and looking around, but I have very little desire to see a concert there again.

    Watertown’s another option (next to Newton); the 57 bus runs from Watertown Square to Kenmore Square.

    Thanks for the tips. I'll check those out. We have a friends trip to Seahawks Patriots. So it just makes sense to hit Fenway. The price for accoms is way out there in space right now. I'll be in Foxborough area for the game and figured I'd find something near airport but that doesn't seem like a viable option,.

    I might just book a 5am flight and avoid going anywhere post show except airport. Pull an all nighter. Can't justify $500 for a few hours in a hotel. Just as well to goto airport and wait for flight.

    You most likely will have to wait til 4amish. & he might just wave and drive away. Have sharpie ready just in case. Have him sign whatever 'to Lou, sorry I didn't sign your ball last time!'  ;)
