What is the hardest major sporting event to get tickets for?

The Olympic finals, the FIFA World Cup final, the Masters and Wimbledon's Centre Court are among the toughest, because demand vastly exceeds supply and tickets go to ballots or lotteries rather than open sale. Apply the moment the official window opens, and treat official resale or hospitality as your backup.

Do I need a visa as well as a ticket?

Almost always, yes — and they are completely separate. An event ticket does not grant entry to the host country. Most of these events are in countries that require a visa for Pakistani passport holders (US, UK, Schengen and others), so start the visa process early via /visa.

Which big sporting events are easiest for Pakistani fans to attend?

Cricket is the natural starting point: ICC events or the PSL, and neutral venues like the UAE and Sri Lanka, are more accessible than long-haul Western trips. Among global events, a Schengen-area race (a Tour de France stage, a non-Monaco F1 Grand Prix) or a marathon as a spectator can be more attainable than a World Cup final.

When should I start planning a sports trip?

As early as you can — ideally six to twelve months out for major events. Ballots and lotteries open and close months ahead, flights and hotels spike on announcement, and visas can take weeks. The trip is built around those deadlines, so find the official ticket page first and work backwards.

Is hospitality worth the extra cost?

It can be, if a guaranteed seat matters and the event is otherwise hard to access. Official hospitality bundles a confirmed ticket with food and lounges, removing the lottery risk — at a premium. For flexible travellers chasing value, a grounds pass or early-round ticket usually delivers more sport per rupee.

How do I avoid fake tickets?

Buy only through the channel the organiser links to from its own official site — the federation, the club, or its named resale and hospitality partners. Avoid touts, unfamiliar resale sites and "guaranteed" tickets from strangers; major events tie tickets to identities and routinely cancel ones bought through unofficial routes.
