Whether you\u2019re headed out to an afternoon ball game, or ready to watch your favourite team lace up, heading to a live sporting event is always a great experience. Unfortunately, this is also considered a luxury expense which is why we’ve\u00a0broken down the costs that are included when attending a sporting event so your budget and wallet can be prepared.<\/p>\n

Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to purchasing game-day tickets the costs can vary. Depending on the teams playing, how close to the game you want to be, and where you buy your tickets from (online, scalpers, etc), ticket prices can range. Not to mention when purchasing tickets, there is the ticket price and then there are the additional fees that come with it. So when it comes to buying tickets make sure you know your options.<\/p>\n

Food and Beverages<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no surprise that arenas hike up the prices of food and drinks, which is why you can find so many food trucks and street meat vendors right outside the gates. Not to mention that most stadiums are located in popular areas with plenty of restaurants and bars around them for even more options. But depending on the venue, places like the Rogers Centre<\/a> allows guests to bring food into the stadium as long as the items are wrapped, bagged or left inside a container to avoid spillage. So if you can fit it under your seat, feel free to bring it and save yourself some cash.<\/p>\n

Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone knows you need to rock the gear when attending a sports game. But everything from the jerseys to the hats and yes, even the foam fingers come at a price. The best time to purchase your favourite team gear is in their off season, but there\u2019s just something about getting the latest logos or the newest players name on the back.<\/p>\n

Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting to and from the game is the least fun part. Mostly because if you\u2019re driving it\u2019s bumper to bumper traffic and parking is always the highest on game days. You can always take the public transit route but get ready for it to also be packed! It’s times like these that Uber’s are also surged so walk a few blocks until the crowd thins out or make sure to give yourself extra time when it comes to game day!<\/p>\n
