OVERVIEW
Project Pastime was established in November of 2002 to encourage, and make more affordable, the family tradition of attending Red Sox games at Fenway Park.
Over the past several years, average ticket prices at Major League ballparks across the country have steadily risen. That fact, combined with similar trends in concessions and parking, has made it increasingly difficult for many families to afford a trip to Fenway.
In 2003, the new Red Sox ownership group made an encouraging effort to address this problem by lowering the prices of Upper Bleacher tickets significantly. For 2004, they have expanded the number of tickets that fall into this category.
Project Pastime seeks to purchase as many Upper Bleacher tickets as the program funds will allow, and to ensure their distribution to families in the Boston area.

On August 13, Red Sox tickets were presented to children at the Somerville Community Schools Program. The students and their families will attend the August 28th game versus the Detroit Tigers. Hopefully the Red Sox will treat them to a victory!
