Hi all. My name's Rick, my friends and I are planning our annual roadtrip starting next week. We usually hit up a bunch of minor league parks along the way and make plenty of time for post-game drinking.

But this year one of my buddies said all he wanted to do was see Fenway Park. So I'm planning a little excursion there for the Thursday day game against the Tigers. I looked on StubHub a couple weeks back and saw the tickets going for $45 apiece, so I waited it out. Then last week they were going for $20 apiece for GA tickets, but I could only buy three. There's four of us.

So I wanted to know what's my best course of action here? Can I get a decent scalped ticket the day of the game? Or should I find the best price for one seat on StubHub (or elsewhere?) now? 

Also, what would you guys recommend for visitors to do around the park, before or after the game? Any good lunch spots we should hit, and souvenirs we should pick up, or anything special to do for a day game?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
