Where will you be when the Union take the field? The Sons of Ben, the Union’s most passionate supporters, will be standing and singing in the River End of Union Field at Chester. The team has said that only registered members of the Sons of Ben or another team-recognized supporters’ group will be able to buy tickets in the Supporters’ Section in the River End stand. If you want to join them, get your 2010 inaugural season membership today!

Membership in the Sons of Ben for the 2010 season costs $30, and includes a Sons of Ben shirt. We’re also working on other special benefits for card-carrying Sons of Ben, including SoB events with players and team staff, discounts and deals at local businesses, and discounts on Sons of Ben tailgates and trips.

Because membership packets are packed and mailed in batches by Sons of Ben volunteers, please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.

Everyone is encouraged to join, whether you’re planning to stand and sing with us or not. Your membership payment will help the Sons of Ben get ready for the 2010 season by buying much-needed equipment such as tents, coolers, grills, flags, banners, and more. Sons of Ben is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, so every penny will go to promote Philadelphia-area soccer and to support local Philadelphia and Chester causes. All members must agree to abide by the Sons of Ben code of conduct prohibiting racism and violence.

Just click on the “Register” button below and you’ll be taken to our partner site to complete your payment. If you’re not ready to commit to a paid membership, join our mailing list by filling out the form below to receive the latest news and updates from Seaport Drive. Note that this will not grant any of the benefits afforded to paid members. If you have questions, please email membership@sonsofben.com.

See you in the River End!
