Here’s a press release from the Boston Red Sox announcing the 2011 Red Sox Road Trip through New England. The club also announced that tickets will go on sale January 29th for all games except the Yankees and Cubs.

BOSTON, MA – As the Boston Red Sox prepare to launch the 2011 regular season general ticket on-sale on Saturday, January 29, the team will host the 2011 Red Sox Road Trip presented by Coca-Cola with stops in all six New England states from January 18 through January 24. The team will distribute vouchers redeemable for each respective 2011 regular season State Day game at Fenway Park, with a total of 6000 vouchers to be given out – 1000 in each state.
The 2011 Red Sox Road Trip presented by Coca-Cola will also feature the first-ever “Sing Your Way to Fenway” contest where fans of all ages will have the opportunity to audition to perform the National Anthem at Fenway Park. The first 100 fans at each stop will be guaranteed the opportunity to audition, with additional attendees to be viewed based on time constraints. The top two winners from each state will be invited to compete in the “Sing Your Way to Fenway” finals at Fenway Park, which is scheduled to be held at Fenway Park on February 9. The grand prize winner will be selected to perform the National Anthem at a 2011 regular season Red Sox game.

Vouchers will be distributed on a first come, first served basis to fans that visit to the Road Trip stops. Coupon holders will have a chance to purchase tickets in advance of the general on-sale, which begins on Saturday, January 29, 2011.
