Red Sox single- game tickets for the 2010 season go on sale Saturday, but a few lucky Red Sox fans already have their tickets to Opening Night.
The Red Sox awarded six fans with a 2010 Opening Night VIP Experience. Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, manager Terry Francona, Red Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino and executive vice president/COO Sam Kennedy met the winners Friday.
Each randomly selected winner represents one of the six New England states. As part of the VIP experience, each raffle winner will receive lunch at GameOn!, a behind-the-scenes tour of Fenway Park and four tickets to Opening Night against the New York Yankees on Sunday, April 4.
The prize recipients registered for the chance to win this experience at tour stops on the 2010 Red Sox Road Trip. Members of team's front office, Wally the Green Monster and team ambassadors visited the six New England states as part of the trip. Team representatives distributed vouchers to provide die-hard Red Sox fans the opportunity to purchase two Red Sox 2010 regular-season tickets.
Team officials collected registration forms from raffle participants. The raffle winners were alerted earlier this week following the end of the second annual Red Sox Road Trip.

If you were not one of the lucky raffle winners, you'll still have the opportunity to see the Red Sox at Fenway this season.
Single-game tickets for most 2010 Red Sox home games go on sale, Saturday, at 10 a.m. Fans will be able to purchase tickets to all games at Fenway Park, with the exception of all games with the Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
To purchase tickets on Jan. 30, fans can log on to www.redsox.com or call the automated ticket line at 888-REDSOX6. Fans who require accessible seating can call 877-REDSOX9. Hearing impaired fans may call the Red Sox TTY line at (617) 226-6644. There will be a limit of eight tickets per person.
Single-game tickets for games versus the Yankees and the Dodgers will be sold through a special random drawing, which will be held at a date to be determined. Tickets for the Green Monster and Budweiser right-field roof deck will also be sold via the random drawing.
