Experiences
The events worth being there for
Some dates are fixed long before the trip is: a final, a match, an opening night. I arrange official hospitality and tickets for the major sporting and cultural events, and design the journey around them: where you stay, how you arrive, and the evening after.
Among them: the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, the Super Bowl, the Ryder Cup in 2027, the tennis majors, and the NFL's games in London and Paris.
Each event's official programme sets its own availability and terms, and I will tell you what is possible before you commit to anything.
