No Scams. Ever.
We will never publish a strategy that's deceptive, illegal, or could get you banned from a venue. If it's not 100% above-board, it doesn't exist on CheapFan.
We Believe Every Fan Deserves a Seat
CheapFan exists because passion shouldn't have a price barrier. We're on a mission to democratize fandom—one budget hack at a time.
The Story Behind CheapFan
It started with a $400 ticket to a playoff game. A ticket that cost more than a month of groceries. A ticket that forced someone to choose between being there for their team and being responsible with their finances.
That's when we asked: Why does being a fan have to be so expensive?
We started researching. Talking to fans. Documenting strategies. And we discovered something incredible: there's a whole underground economy of fan knowledge—hacks, tricks, timing strategies, and creative approaches that let dedicated fans attend events for a fraction of the "normal" cost.
The problem? This knowledge was scattered. Hidden in Reddit threads. Passed down in group chats. Known only to the most dedicated superfans.
CheapFan is our answer. A centralized, verified, constantly-updated knowledge base of every legitimate way to attend live events on a budget.
🎯
Fans First.
Always.
What We Stand For
These aren't corporate values we put on a wall. These are the principles that guide every hack we publish and every decision we make.
Real Numbers Only
No "starting from $X" tricks. We show you actual costs, actual savings, and honest confidence levels. You deserve to make informed decisions.
Evidence Over Anecdote
Every hack is sourced, verified, and rated. We built a whole evidence tier system because "trust me bro" isn't a strategy.
Accessible to All
We design for everyone—including fans with disabilities, limited internet, older devices, and screen readers. Fandom has no prerequisites.
Global From Day One
Fandom is worldwide. We're building CheapFan to serve fans in every language, for every sport, in every country on Earth.
Community Powered
The best hacks come from fellow fans. We're building systems for the community to contribute, verify, and improve our knowledge base.
What CheapFan Is NOT
Let's be clear about what we don't do:
-
Not a ticket seller. We don't sell tickets. We teach you how to find the best deals yourself.
-
Not an affiliate farm. We're not here to push you toward whoever pays us the most commission.
-
Not a "luxury hack" site. We're not helping you get into VIP for cheap. We're helping regular fans attend at all.
-
Not outdated blog posts. Every hack is dated, verified, and deprecated when it stops working.
Built by Fans, for Fans
CheapFan is built by a team of lifelong fans who've personally used budget strategies to attend hundreds of events. We're not corporate types who discovered "the sports market." We're the people in the nosebleeds, and we're proud of it.
