ABOUT US

Events Travel was founded in 1993 with a clear mission — to help fans experience the world’s biggest events.

It began with a simple problem: no company in Australia made it easy to travel to global events. At the time, the concept of travel packages was just emerging, and we helped pioneer its application to sports and events worldwide. In the early ’90s, the sports landscape was buzzing — Essendon won the AFL Premiership, Jim Courier triumphed at the Australian Open, Greg Norman claimed the British Open, Alain Prost took the Formula 1® World Championship, and the Wallabies were still celebrating their 1991 Rugby World Cup victory. Yet for fans, there was no straightforward way to be there in person.

Our journey started with the Australian Open in January 1994, followed by the Bledisloe Cup later that year. Momentum quickly built, with the Rugby World Cup 1995 marking the beginning of a long legacy across rugby, cricket, motorsport, tennis, and netball worldwide. Early on, we recognised the value of partnering directly with events to provide customers access to official tickets and exclusive experiences.

Back then, the world was very different. Airline tickets were hand-written (we processed thousands ourselves), the internet was just beginning, mobile phones were bulky, and email was non-existent. Today, we combine the latest travel technology with personalised service delivered by an expert team, ensuring an authentic human touch.

From humble beginnings, we’ve helped over 250,000 fans travel to every corner of the globe for historic sporting moments — from chartering cruise ships in the Caribbean for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 to realising lifelong dreams at the Super Bowl, World Cup Finals, and countless other legendary events.

Over three decades, we’ve evolved into a multi-faceted travel company focused on sports, ticketed events, and premium travel. Every package and tour is carefully designed, backed by decades of experience, trusted partnerships, and insider knowledge. We leverage best-in-class systems to make the booking process seamless, access leading rates, and ensure our clients travel stress-free. Despite major technological advances — from the internet to AI — our commitment to old-school service with a human touch remains unchanged.

Still led by our passionate co-founders with careers at renowned industry leaders including Swissair, Singapore Airlines, Adventure World, and Abercrombie & Kent, their passion for travel, service standards, and commitment to helping fans inspires every member of our team.

Whether you’re following your team, a passionate traveller, or simply seeking a unique in-person experience in today’s increasingly digital world, Events Travel is your trusted partner to experience the world’s greatest events and create memories that last a lifetime.
