They're not strict about people grabbing seats if they're open, which shouldn't be hard to find at least towards the beginning of the season. I do think they could start inching towards selling out as it gets warmer, if the team continues its success from last year. Crowds have been noticeably growing as time goes on.
That's fair about the costs... I believe the prices are that way because they include admission to the festivals in addition to the game. Gates typically open a few hours before the game, so there's live music, activities, other community rugby games, etc scattered around before the main event begins.
Even for those who can't make it to games can watch them all on TV and support the team that way!

I appreciate the responseand always forget to put their games on. Maybe one day Kraft will get his dream of a smaller soccer stadium closer to Boston and the Free Jacks can play there with more ticket options

I was really hoping that they'd get that done where the old expo center was right near JFK/UMass & the highway. I'm not a soccer fan, but having a 25k seat stadium there would also have other options for concerts & things (like this rugby team if it gets a bit more popular) which would be pretty cool.

Agreed. I'm not a huge soccer fan either, but I'd probably go to a Revs game here and there if it didn't require going all the way to Foxboro, and an outdoor concert venue with more availability than Fenway would be awesome
