Cashless Food & Beverage
Fenway Park food and beverage sales are fully cashless. For convenience and to improve speed of service, all concessions stands will only accept credit cards, debit cards, gift cards or touchless payment with smartphones. Hawkers will have cashless point-of-sale devices so fans can easily tap their mobile devices or swipe their cards to purchase concession items from their seats.
Fans with cash have two options:
- Stop by the Gate E Concourse, Home Plate Concourse, and the Gate B Kids Concourse to load cash onto a Mastercard debit card using a Cash-2-Card exchange kiosk. These debit cards are also accepted at any business that takes Mastercard, the preferred payment of the Boston Red Sox. Debit cards from Fenway Park kiosks have no initial fee; please note that after 93 days, cards will be charged a dormancy fee of $3.95 per month.
- Stop by the Guest Services desk at Gate B in the big Concourse area to purchase an Aramark Gift Card in any amount. Gift Cards can be used anywhere within Fenway Park, but not at any other locations. Gift cards have no transaction or dormancy fees or expiration dates. Customers can receive a full cash refund of the balance on a Gift Card at any time during Fenway Park events and up to 30 minutes after the event ends.
Bags, Containers and Coolers
- Bags must be single-compartment and no larger than 12"x12"x6". Backpacks, backpack-style purses, duffel bags, and other multi-compartment bags are NOT permitted. Exceptions will be made for diaper bags and bags containing essential medical equipment. To speed up the entry process, the Red Sox will continue to encourage the use of single-compartment clear bags for the 2025 season. Clear bags must also be no larger than 12"x12"x6".

- Hard-sided coolers and glass containers are not allowed.
