How to get tickets to a football or cricket match

Many people hold season tickets for their favourite clubs, so sometimes, getting tickets to certain games can be tricky. 

Premier League matches are always extremely popular, and you sometimes need to be a member to be able to apply for tickets at certain clubs or for some of the higher-profile fixtures.

If you want tickets for Premier League matches, you should always buy them directly from Premier League Clubs – so the website of whatever club you hope to attend a game at. Then, you can purchase tickets safely from official Club websites or ticket offices. Each club will also provide details of any authorised ticket partners on their official website. Many Clubs also categorise matches, such as Grade A, B or C. So, look out for lower-grade matches, as the possibility of getting tickets is sometimes higher.

To book a cricket game at Lords, choose the game you wish to book on their website. You can then select the number of tickets you want to purchase and complete your booking.

How to get tickets for Wimbledon

Getting tickets for Wimbledon can be a little confusing as there are different types of tickets, and they’re extremely popular, so they can be hard to get. To purchase tickets, you will need to apply for the public ballots (there’s an overseas one), or you can attempt to queue on the day, as a limited number of tickets will be available for specific days. You can also try and purchase them on the Wimbledon website the day before.
