unforgettable Moments: How “On location” Turns Dreams into Priceless Memories

[City, Date] – For those who dream of experiencing major sporting events in unparalleled style, “On Location” offers a gateway to those aspirations, albeit with a significant price tag.The company specializes in crafting highly personalized and exclusive experiences at some of the world’s most coveted events, transforming ordinary attendance into remarkable memories.

Leah Linke, the main vice-president of event production for “On Location,” shared an anecdote that encapsulates the company’s approach. She recalled a meticulously prepared package for the Super Bowl, designed for a discerning client who desired a brunch with legendary quarterback Tom Brady in a private, two-level suite, complete with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.”I can’t tell you how much it cost,” Linke admitted.

This focus on creating lasting memories over material possessions is central to “On Location’s” philosophy. “We know that, throughout our life, we collect all these material things,” Linke reflected. “But,what remains are memories. Memories of our families, memories with our friends. And this is our goal: to create memories, unique memories.”

“On Location” provides a range of packages, from single-match experiences to comprehensive series attendance. Clients can customize their plans or follow a specific team through the early stages of tournaments, with some geographical exceptions.

Exclusive Access: The price of Privilege

The company offers tiered packages, granting access to different exclusive hospitality areas. Prices begin around $2,500 per person for a match with access to the FIFA pavilion, escalating to $5,350 for entry to the “Pitchside” experience within the stadium itself, with various other options available in between.”Food and drinks are at will,” Linke highlighted, emphasizing the all-inclusive nature of many packages. Each booking includes a match ticket and hospitality access starting three hours before kick-off, through halftime, and extending two hours post-match. While private suites are also an option, their pricing remains undisclosed.

For clients with truly limitless budgets, the “Platinum Access” program opens up a world of possibilities.Need private air or helicopter travel? It can be arranged. Desire to step onto the field for a penalty kick against a famous goalkeeper after the game? “On Location” can make it happen.

“It’s really the best experience. There is really no limit,” Linke concluded, underscoring the company’s commitment to exceeding expectations and creating unparalleled moments.
