Sports Tours are just the ticket for fans

7th May 2008 Print
You can watch the big game on TV, but nothing compares to being a part of the excitement - witnessing the punishing hits, spectacular passes, and roar of the fans, and of course, the half-time extravaganza from the stands.

Super Bowl
It's not easy to pull off a Super Bowl trip without a little advance planning and an inside track. Football fans can start planning to attend the biggest game of the season now - and Roadtrips can give them the inside track. See Roadtrips.com

Grand Slam Tennis
The US Open is not only one of the biggest events in tennis; it's one of the most popular spectator sports events in the world. For two weeks every August, Flushing, NY plays host to hundreds of thousands of tennis crazed fans as well as the biggest names in tennis. U.S. Open Tennis Tickets are tough to find, and the cost of those tickets often rise as the Open Tennis Tournament dates approach, but a trip to the US Open at the magnificent Arthur Ashe Stadium is a tennis fan's experience of a lifetime.

Great Atlantic Travel and Tour sells tickets to this prized event, and even has US Open Tennis on-site support staff to make sure your mind is on the games, not the logistics. GreatAtlanticTravel.com

Skiing the Alps
Colorado's powder is legendary, Tahoe is gorgeous, and Whistler sublime--but let's face it, what skier doesn't fantasize (at least a little) about schussing down the slopes in the Alps. The names alone - Innsbruck, Chaminox, Zermatt, Grendelwald, Interlaken - are evocative enough to make a skier wax his skis and pack his passport. Value Holidays has surprisingly affordable ski packages in Austria, France and Switzerland that will appeal to skiers of any ability. Value Holidays
