Travelling from Tasmania for a Major Sporting Event
Living in Tasmania does not mean watching Australia’s biggest sporting events from the couch.
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide regularly host events worth travelling for, from AFL and cricket to tennis, rugby league, golf and more.
However, sports travel from Tasmania requires a little more planning than simply jumping in the car and heading to te stadium.
Start with the Event
First decide what matters most.
Is this an event you simply want to attend, or something that has been on your bucket list for years?
For major finals, tournaments and limited-access events, securing the right event option can be just as important as arranging the flight.
Think About Flights Early
Flights are naturally one of the biggest considerations for sports travel from Tasmania.
When thousands of supporters are travelling during the same weekend, convenient flight times can become harder to find.
Planning ahead provides more choice and makes it easier to build your trip around the event rather than fitting the event around the flights that remain.
Don't Forget Accommodation
Major events can place significant demand on hotels.
Look at where the sporting venue is located, how you will reach it and what else you plan to do during the trip.
The cheapest hotel is not always the most practical if you spend considerable time travelling across the city.
Build in Some Extra Time
Where possible, avoid making your schedule too tight.
An additional night can give you time to explore your destination and reduces the pressure of travelling immediately before or after the event.
After all, if you are already flying interstate, it makes sense to enjoy the destination too.
Consider the Complete Trip
Flights, accommodation, event access, local transport and activities all form part of a successful sports trip.
Organising each separately is possible, but it can involve plenty of research and multiple bookings.
For people who would rather concentrate on enjoying the event, having travel arrangements brought together can make the process considerably simpler.
Where Will You Go Next?
Melbourne for AFL? Brisbane for State of Origin? Sydney for a major match? Perhaps an international event that has always been on your wish list?
Sports travel from Tasmania opens the door to all kinds of experiences.
Sometimes you just need the right event to give you a reason to pack your bags.
