As for having one person wait in line, you have to be careful about that - the Red Sox claim that only people waiting in line the whole time will be able to purchase tickets. Ticket salespeople periodically check the line to see if there are any newcomers cutting people (even just to join friends.) At some point they also pass out numbered slips of paper, and if you don't have one, you can't buy a ticket (this is the mechanism for ensuring that people wait in line the whole time instead of having just one person wait for a large group.) Once you have that slip of paper, though, it's not difficult for some of the people in your group to wander out of line for a little bit.
That sounds agonizing. Thanks for the information. We'll have to work something out, thanks. It's a lot simpler to watch games here...

I'm hoping to finish between 2:50-2:55 depending on the weather and how difficult the course actually is. Come on out and watch!
