Getting Tickets for Sporting Events in the USA

A Sports Fan's Guide to Securing the Best Tickets 

If you’ve ever pictured yourself watching the Super Bowl live, catching a Yankees game under the lights in New York, or soaking up the buzz of an NBA night in LA, you’re not alone. For sports fans in the UK, heading Stateside to watch live American sport is a proper bucket-list experience, but getting hold of tickets (and sorting the trip) takes a bit of know-how.

At MVP Travel, we’ve spent over a decade helping fans plan their perfect American sports holidays, sorting official tickets, tailored packages, and the kind of extras that turn a matchday into something unforgettable. We’re ATOL-protected too, so your booking is financially covered from start to finish.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, here’s everything you need to know about ensuring an optimal sports experience in the USA and how to get the most from your trip.

Why Use a Sports Travel Specialist?

Sure, you can buy tickets online. But for high-demand games, and a smooth, stress-free trip, working with a specialist makes all the difference.

Here’s what you get with a trusted provider like MVP Travel:

Guaranteed Tickets

No worrying about dodgy resale sites or fake tickets. We work directly with clubs, venues and trusted industry partners to guarantee authenticity.

Access to the Best Seats and Extras

Want to sit courtside? Fancy a hospitality suite? Take a stadium tour? Or join a proper tailgate party before kick-off? We can make it happen.

Everything Sorted in One Place

Flights, hotels, game tickets, transfers and excursions all organised for you. That means no last-minute faff or worry – aided by our exclusive app which keeps your whole itinerary in one place.

Local Knowledge You Won’t Find Online

We work closely with tourist boards and sports industry partners across the US. That means we know which games will have the best atmosphere, how best to access venues and which neighbourhoods are worth exploring while you’re there.

When Should You Book?

Simple answer: as early as you can.

Booking early usually means better prices and more choice, especially for one off or annual big events where hotel availability can fill up the closer you get to travel.

Even for regular-season matches, planning ahead gives you more options, particularly if you want to combine the game with a city break or road trip.

Why the USA Is a Must for Sports Fans

America doesn’t do things by halves, and live sport is no exception. Massive stadiums, passionate fans, epic matchday shows and food you’ve only seen on YouTube. It’s everything you’d hope for, and then some.

Whether you're keen to tick off the big four (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB), dive into college football, or even experience the electric crowd at a NASCAR race or golf major, there’s a trip waiting to be planned.
