I'll be in Boston from Saturday until Wednesday, and I need some things to do.. The Red Sox game is sold out, so I cant' go there. Does anyone know some fun, and pretty cheap things to do in Boston?

The cheapest thing to do is go to Quincy Market and walk around. There's always something going on there... and it's FREE.
Also, walk around the Common, hit the Public Garden to see the 'Make Way for Duckilings' statues.
Walk the Freedom Trail. Takes two hours and is absolutely free.
Stroll Newbury Street to look at the freaks, geeks, and the tres rich.
Hit the Museum of Fine Arts (not sure how much that's gonna set you back).
Hit Copley Place at the Westin. It will also lead yoyu to the Prudential. Take the elevator to the top for a great view of the city.
New England Aquarium, check that out. Not sure about the price.
Hop the Red Line T to Harvard Sqaure in Cambridge and soak up the culture.
Hope that helps!

I think the USS constitution is free
swan boat the (cheapest ride in town- and worth it) walk around the Public garden visit the "Make Way for Ducking" stautes which is one of our most childrens beloved stories, go across the street and visit the Boston Common walk the freedom trail (free)
Take a Duck Tour about $25.00?
All this not terrible expensive but you would have to pay
Go to the musems
Musem of fine arts-Boston
walk down the street to visit the The mother Church of Christ, Scientist they have a Planatarium there and some sites, outside is a large reflection pool, then walk down the street to visit the two malls that are located in Copley check to see if there are tours going on at Trinity Church and Copley Square library -its the first public library in the country. Go up to the Observation deck In the John Hancock building
Museum of Natural History- Cambridge (highly recommend)

Red Sox games are always sold out, but there are plenty of tickets available the day of the game. If you don't mind buying from scalpers, you can get a ticket. Just show up an hour or so before the game and make a deal.

I've lived in Boston for the last 10 months and I still don't know what there is to do in the city that is cheap. If you find anything exciting, let me know.

Yes. You could go to Fanueil Hall Marketplace. There is alot to do there. And there are SO many places to eat. It's pretty cheap there and if you're coming to Boston, you should take the T. It goes right to Fanueil Hall, and you're have ridden the world famous green line!! Hehe.

COPLEY MALL OR CAMBRIDGE MALL VIA THE GREEN LINE. FOR COPLEY MALL TAKE THE D, C, OR E TRAIN @PARK ST. STATION. FOR CAMBRIDGE MALL TAKE LECHMERE TRAIN @ PARK ST. IF THERE ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED TAKE THE DUCK TOURS OR THE TROLLEY TOURS, THE SCIENCE MUSEUM VIA THE GREEN LINE AT @PARK ST. OR THE AQUARIUM. IF IT'S JUST ADULTS GO TO THE COMEDY CONNECTION IN FANEUIL HALL VIA THE GREEN LINE AND GET OFF @ GOVERNMENT CENTER OR THE GYPSY BAR AT 116 BOYLSTON ST VIA THE GREEN LINE.- HOPE THAT HELPED!!!
