Why big events need early planning
For the World Darts Championship, NFL games or Grand Slam tournaments, demand far exceeds supply. There are often registrations and ballots months before the event. Miss the deadlines and you quickly end up on the secondary market – with high prices and the risk of invalid tickets.
Our calendar
We track sales launches and update our guides regularly: the World Darts Championship at London's Alexandra Palace, NFL games in Germany (Berlin returns in 2027), Formula 1 weekends in Europe and tennis from Wimbledon to Roland Garros.
Hotel first – once your ticket is confirmed
Hotel prices around big events rise fast. Book with free cancellation as soon as your ticket is confirmed, and plan your way back after evening sessions.
