The Red Sox are the first professional sports team to offer this type of travel experience for its fans. This year, FSG has scheduled 18 VIP travel experiences during MLB's regular season including the excursion overseas.

The VIP packages provide guests with tickets to three MLB games, a ballpark tour, hotel accommodations, and a question-and-answer and autograph session with a Red Sox player. Since the inception of the program in 2006, more than 2,500 fans traveled on the road or to Fenway with Red Sox Destinations. In 2007, FSG brought clients to Arizona, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, San Diego and Texas.
