For a first timer or equivalent? I'd aim to get in when gates open. Catch the end of BP. Tour the seating bowl out to the bleachers. Check out the food and souvenirs and the band on Jersey Street and see Big League Brian and the other entertainment there.Is 6pm the preferred time to show up there for a 7:10 pm start?

I went to two games last year pretty close together mid-summer. A few more scattered throughout the year but these were the two where I bought the tickets and they were back to back so they stand out.Bumping this thread because I'm going to Fenway for the first time in June against the Marlins.
I'm willing to spend around $100 per ticket and I'm not sure what section I should be looking in.
Is sitting next to the Pesky Pole cool or should I pony up for something down the lines? I'm 6-4 and based on earlier posts it doesn't sound like trying to sit next to the bullpens is a good idea.
I have no desire to sit on top of the monster cause I don't love heights.
This is a great thread, full of useful pointers. My first game was in 1957, when I was 10. We had seats in Section 17, and to this day I remember going up that concourse on the first-base side and seeing the Monster and that awesomely green field. That's why I can't hate "Fever Pitch." Another reason I can't hate it is that we were present at the 04 game when Curt Schilling won his 20th game. As the game neared its end, the announcer informed us that a film crew was going to film a scene after the game, and that if we wanted to be part of the crowd in that scene, we should remain. So we did, not knowing exactly what to do. Sensing the confusion, the announcer suggested we "just be ourselves." Immediately, the chant arose, "Yankees suck!, Yankees suck!" Understandably, that part didn't make it into the film.Regardless of where you sit, and especially if you bring young kids, bring them early enough so that you can take in the atmosphere a bit. It is not as grungy as it used to be and although it is more touristy than i prefer, it is pretty entertaining and there is a very festive attitude in and around the park before first pitch. But the most important thing is to bring your group up from the concourse on the first base side so that their first in-person view of the field includes the Green Monster. I still get chills thinking about my dad doing this for me when I was 8 years old. Enjoy.
I am not a fan of the seats near the Pesky Pole due to the angle. The seats face CF so to see the action you have to turn your head 90 degrees, and there are a ton of heads between you and 1B and HP.Bumping this thread because I'm going to Fenway for the first time in June against the Marlins.

Row 1 of Bleacher 34-36 is best for tall people/value/under $100 combo IMHO, 34 or 35 for getting up less.Bumping this thread because I'm going to Fenway for the first time in June against the Marlins.

They must have fixed it this afternoon. When I looked earlier, the toggle between Section and Seat Map was missing. It's now there underneath the max price slider.It appears to me that you can choose a section and look at a seat map which will tell you the available seats, then choose the ones you want.
