If you have a swift computer and plenty of cash, you just may land a seat at a Red Sox playoff game in October (assuming the crash of all crashes does not unfold over the next three weeks).
Registration for a random drawing for Red Sox playoff tickets began at Noon today. Drawing for the ALDS is next Monday.
Here is the bulk of the release posted on redsox.com
This registration process is used to create a more efficient and fair purchasing path as the number of tickets available for these games is extremely limited. The random drawing process has proven to be one of the most equitable programs developed allowing as many fans as possible the opportunity to enjoy postseason baseball at Fenway Park.
Applicants must fill out and submit the registration form below to participate in this opportunity to purchase. Registration begins at 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time ("EDT") on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 and will conclude prior to the World Series drawing. The Red Sox will then conduct a random selection of winners from the pool of registrants for each of the three postseason series. The winners will have the opportunity to purchase up to two (2) tickets to one (1) game of the 2007 postseason which may be played at Fenway Park in Boston, MA. Exact dates, times and instructions for ticket purchase will be communicated by email to each applicant selected. If a selected applicant does not follow these instructions, he or she will forfeit the opportunity to purchase tickets. There is no charge to register for this opportunity. There is no obligation to buy a ticket.
In order to be eligible for this opportunity, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. In addition, you must complete and submit the entry form located below during the Registration Period. Limit one entry per person. In the case of multiple entries for the same individual, only the first entry received will be considered. Only entries submitted to the Red Sox during the Registration Period will be entered in the random drawing. Entries generated by a script, macro, or other mechanical or automated means will not be valid. Please be sure to provide an accurate e-mail address. MLB.com and the Red Sox are not responsible for any e-mail notifications that are bounced back or misdirected.
For individuals who register by 11:59 a.m. EDT on Monday, September 17, 2007, a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase 2007 American League Division Series ("ALDS") tickets will be held. Each applicant selected will be notified on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 via the email address submitted on the registration form. Those applicants whose names are selected shall have an opportunity to purchase ALDS tickets on Thursday, September 20, 2007 from 12:00 noon EDT to 6:00 p.m. EDT. In the event that the winner does not respond to such notification by purchasing 2007 ALDS tickets by 6:00 p.m. Thursday, September 20, 2007, a disqualification will result.
Registrants not selected in the ALDS drawing or those who register after 12:00 noon EDT on Monday, September 17 will still be eligible for the American League Championship Series and World Series drawings.
