Watching live sport is the highlight of the week for many fans. Whether its tennis, football, rugby or another sport the new seasons are always highly anticipated. Instead of heading down to the local pub this season, consider these ways to watch sport in style.

VIP Experience
You can’t beat actually going to the game and being among the fans. For a luxury experience, get VIP tickets. Wimbledon hospitality is unmatched. VIP passes include a complimentary bar, hostess service and a delicious lunch (Yes,complete with strawberries and cream!). So not only will you be able to watch the most famous players from the heart of the action on the centre court, you will also have exclusive lounge access. Here you can mingle with the stars as famous faces such as Bradley Cooper, David Beckham and the Duchess of Cambridge frequent the exclusive areas of Wimbledon.

From a Box
Booking a box at a football or rugby match guarantees the best view in the house. Executive box tickets typically come with a complimentary match programme and a dedicated host to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy the game. Comfortable seats, complimentary bar sand a choice of menus are other perks included with the ticket. It’s like having your own personal lounge at the match. The food on offer isn’t your usual game day fare of hot dogs and burgers, instead you can expect full â la carte selection.

Attend an Away Game
Combine sports and a holiday by attending an away game for the ultimate experience. Many companies offer package tickets which include luxury coach travel (if the game is in Europe), a hotel and tickets to the game. This means you can plan to stay abroad afterwards and turn it into a holiday. You’ll meet other like-minded fans from around the world which will make it a truly unique and memorable experience.

In Your Own Home
If you get the set up right, watching sport from your own home can be luxurious at half the cost of a VIP ticket. Invite your friends, have plenty of your favourite food to hand and a well-stocked fridge of cold drinks. Having a subscription to a cable TV service means you'll get more coverage of the season. A great surround sound set up will also give you the full experience.

Get Kitted Out
It’snot only how you choose to watch your favourite sport that matters. For a truly stylish experience make sure you look the part. Going dressed in team colours,or your best clothes for the more prestigious Wimbledon, will give you the full fan experience. It doesn’t matter whether you have the latest kit or last season’s gear as long as you’re part of the crowd. Seeking out vintage editions will make you stand out and show your dedication to the team. Whatever you choose to wear it will be sure to make for great photos to share on social media.
