Another new year is upon us, and with it, a long list of exciting events that will take place in our beloved London. The cultural capital of the world hosted some pretty iconic sporting events throughout 2018. The events in the coming year, however, promise to be more exciting than ever before.
If you missed your chance to attend a much awaited event last year, make sure you plan ahead for what 2019 has in store. While the calendar is packed full of excitement, we’ve picked out the most exclusive events that are sure to be sold out as soon as tickets go on sale.
Check out this list so you can be prepared and make sure you don’t miss out on any of the sporting fun in the coming year:
NBA London 2019
The NBA brought their first game to London back in 2010, and the excitement about the fixture has increased exponentially with each passing year. This time around, two of the most iconic titans of American Basketball are coming to London.
The game takes place on the 17th of January at the O2 Arena, and you can expect the event to be sold out well in advance. If anyone wishes to catch a glimpse of the most exclusive basketball event on the continent, our advice is to book your seats well in advance.
For die hard fans of the game, the O2 Arena is now offering exclusive matchday packages with White Label Hospitality that are sure to turn this game into a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The FA Cup Final
The FA Cup Final returns to Wembley in May 2019. If you have not yet attended an FA Cup final, be warned, the energy inside the stadium is equal parts contagious and overwhelming.
That being said, England is a country of football lovers, and getting hold of a FA Cup final ticket is next to impossible, unless you purchase the tickets well in advance.
Those looking for an extraordinary matchday experience can choose from the many luxury offerings available at this iconic game.
The ICC Cricket World Cup
The ICC Cricket World Cup is being held in England for the first time in a full decade. While the hardcore fans of the national sport are already grabbing their passes, visitors to the city can still get their hands on the passes to the less important matches.
If, however, you don’t wish to struggle for the tickets, and still want to enjoy some world class cricket live, both stadiums (Lords and KIA Oval) that are hosting World Cup matches are offering exclusive luxury matchday experiences for special fans. The tournament is set to begin on 30th May, and the final match will take place on 14th July at the iconic Lord’s Stadium.
Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships
The longest running and most prestigious tennis tournament on the planet returns to London for two weeks of first-class tennis in the coming summer. Scheduled to be held between 01st and 14th July, the tournament attracts 500,000 spectators every year, so you can expect the passes to sell like hot cakes.
Unlike most other major sporting events, the Wimbledon Championship allows fans to purchase tickets to the match on the day it is scheduled. However, tennis fans planning on taking this route should come prepared to spend a significant part of their day in a queue.
A few hundred tickets are also available online the day before the match is held. Another way to obtain Wimbledon tickets is through the public ballot which was introduced in 1924. However, the public ballot does not offer the guarantee of getting a ticket, or the luxury of requesting tickets for specific days or courts.
