Step 1
Decide the length of the tour. While you may think of a tour as a whirlwind, it could be tough to pull off for sports. You have schedules to consider. The best time to bunch the tour would be from January (or December) until April, but you will have to determine your own timeline.
-
Step 2
Map out your schedule. At the very least you will want to see the professional teams: the Boston Celtics, the Boston Bruins, the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. No sports tour of Boston really would be complete, however, without watching Boston College's up and coming football program or seeing the Boston Marathon. Minor league sports teams call Boston home as well, and you may want to check them out, too. Compare your timeline with the teams' schedules and reserve games seats for teams you would like to see.

Step 3
Begin scouring the Internet and local scenes for tickets. Sure, you can purchase them at the box office. Ferreting out your own deals, however, will be much more fun and can save you significant money. Check out major auction and classified websites as well as school-based websites. Students often scalp their student tickets for a good price since they purchase them fairly cheap.
-
Step 4
Finalize your plans as you get tickets. If you are coming from out of town, make car rental reservations and get hotel rooms. Locals who are doing a sports tour of Boston should clear their schedules well in advance to plan for the games.
-
Step 5
Decide if you want to collect souvenirs on the sports tour. Get your camera ready if you are planning to document the tour. Making the tour fun and exciting, rather than stress-filled, is important, so planning as far in advance as possible will make game days that much more fun.
