Greg ThebergeKG,
Are your seats the old wooden slat variety? If so, I am very jealous. When I called the Fenway promotion, they had mentioned to me that they were ripping out the old seats in the bleacher section. Now that I think of it, these wouldn't have been red. These seats had been advertised during both the Sox games as well as on WEEI radio.
Please post a pic of your seats, would love to see them. I just saw a pair of the thirties seats priced at $2000 just recently.
All the best,
Greg
P.S. I just found the old reference email of what I was talking about:
For the first time ever the Red Sox are making Fenway Park seats available for sale. As part of our continuing efforts to improve Fenway Park, the Red Sox will replace the outfield bleacher seats this off-season. These are the same seats that have held fans witnessing the exploits of Yaz, Rice, Evans, Lynn, Clemens and Martinez, not to mention the 2004 Red Sox World Championship run. We are providing our loyal season ticket holders with the first opportunity to guarantee a historic piece of Fenway Park.
Seats will be packaged and sold in pairs (2 seats). Seat removal will commence immediately after the Red Sox last home game.
Each Pair will sell for $550. However, for season ticket holders only, we are offering a 10% discount for a price of $495 per pair. This is inclusive of all charges, including shipping.
If you are interested in ordering a pair of Fenway Park seats, please call 877-RedSox9 Monday-Friday between 10am and 5pm with your credit card and shipping address information or fax the attached form to 1-617-226-6008 to secure your seats. You may also send an email to bleachers@redsox.com with your full name, day & night time phone numbers and email address and someone will contact you to secure your credit card payment and shipping information.
Multiple purchases may be allowed depending upon availability. Do not miss this opportunity to possess a piece of Fenway Park and Red Sox history. Thank you for your long-standing support!

p.s.s.
Just looked up Fenway seats on ebay and see your box seats for sale, as well as some bleacher seats for sale. Everyone's trying to turn a buck I guess. I believe all of these seats went in during the 80s and 90s. The old crappy wooden slat ones painted blue in the grandstand sections (would love to get a pair of those) are the ones from the thirties.
