Plan a Trip to Watch Live Sport for the First Time

You have always watched sport on the sofa and fancy seeing it in the flesh, but you have no idea what to expect or how not to get fleeced on tickets. This covers choosing an event with a good atmosphere for newcomers, buying tickets safely, sitting versus standing, what to bring, and getting there and away. For first-timers planning a day out.
