Hi fellow celts fan, wondering if you could help me with something. I'm from Canada and have been a diehard celts fan for 23 years, I finally broke down and bought a plane ticket to go see two games, March 26 and 28's game. Couple of questions.....

Ticket wise, where is the best place to buy them, will 100bux a ticket give you decent seats?

Should I stay downtown or 5 miles or so outside and cab in? Don't want to spend more than 120 a night for a hotel.

Where is the best place to buy celtic merchandise?

If you were to tell a tourist the best place to eat, what would you recommend, I like all food.

Thanks, appreciate the help.

I would get them from Ticketmaster, but all the good seats are probably sold out.

I don't know a good hotel around here to stay at.

The Garden has a really good Celtics Pro Shop.

If you like pizza go to Regina pizza in the North end.
It's some of the best pizza i have ever had.

check out the ticketmaster ticket exchange, craigs list and ebay, sometimes season ticket holders need to dump their tickets on there when they cant use them.

My ex was just there also from Canada and she got tickets from the consierge at her hotel. She paid $100 for the lower bowl corners.

here ya go:
STAY in Quincy,MA at the Quincy Marriott. theres a train station at the end of the driveway and its 2 trains, probably 20-25 minutes total to get right to the Garden doors. $1.50 ea. way

--its kinda a little more than you were tryin to spend so im not sure. if not just go anywhere pretty much listed as downtown or back bay.

BUY your tix on craigslist, OR just head in an hour before tipoff and there will be NO shortage of tix through scalpers(dont be a puss though, they can sense that).
enjoy your time here, thats usually a fun time of year. itll most likely Sox 24/7 though so good luck with us D-Bags

And if you can, give us a write-up of your experience (game,tickets,hotel,etc.). That way you can help others with their pilgramages to the "Holy Land".
I hope all goes well, it's something I've always wanted to do.
