Philly Sports Trips

What Philly Sports Trips does

Philly Sports Trips, operating under the legal entity TrueFan Travel, LLC, is a Pennsylvania-based, IATA-accredited travel agency founded in 2017 that sells bundled fan travel packages for supporters of Philadelphia professional sports teams. The company packages charter-bus transportation, hotel accommodations, game tickets, all-inclusive tailgates with food and open bar, meet-and-greet sessions with former players, and custom swag into single paid offerings, with tiered options ranging from tailgate-only ($225) to full all-inclusive packages (up to $499 deposit for Spring Training 2027, with flights and hotel making total per-trip cost materially higher). Pricing is unit-based and event-driven, with deposits used to secure capacity months in advance and payment plans offered on selected packages; deposits are refundable until published cutoffs (e.g., May 31, 2026 for Spring Training 2027).

The company operates without proprietary technology, relying on WeTravel for booking and payment processing and Mailchimp for email marketing, while using its own websites (phillysportstrips.com and truefantravel.com) as the primary sales channel supported by organic social media on Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and event-driven, anchored by an official partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles and additional official-partner relationships with the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, Wrexham AFC, and IK Start. To date, the company reports 15,000+ fans served across 150+ trips to 40+ destinations in 10+ countries, with a 4.9/5 average customer rating. The customer base is entirely consumer/SMB, with the primary segment being Philadelphia Eagles fans and secondary segments including Phillies fans (especially for the annual Clearwater Beach Spring Training trip in its 7th year) and international/iconic-event travelers.

The business model is fundamentally a high-touch, relationship-driven travel reseller with thin fixed costs (1–10 employees), no disclosed external funding, and revenue generated one package at a time tied to the sports calendar. Growth has come from expanding team coverage (NFL away games for multiple franchises), adding international destinations (England, Brazil, Germany, Mexico), extending the product calendar with new trip types (Oktoberfest, Spring Training 2027 deposits), and layering tiered pricing to capture different willingness-to-pay segments within the same fan base. The company is founder-owned and operated, with no parent company or institutional investors identified in the available data.

Revenue model

1. Travel Package Sales: Philly Sports Trips generates revenue by selling bundled fan travel packages that include game tickets, charter bus transportation, hotel stays, all-inclusive tailgate events, meet-and-greet experiences with former players, and custom swag. Packages are sold at tiered price points with deposits (e.g., $499 for Spring Training 2027) and full payments (e.g., $275-$295 for Phils @ Baltimore). Revenue is event-driven and one-time per trip, with optional add-ons for lower-level tickets.
2. Event-Only and Tailgate Packages: Standalone tailgate-only and events-only packages (such as Player Q&A and Ticket & Tailgate) are offered after full trip packages sell out, typically 30-60 days before events. These provide an additional revenue stream for customers who do not want full travel packages.
3. Payment Plan and Booking Fee Revenue: The company offers flexible payment plans and charges booking fees for certain payment methods (ACH/checking account payments are advertised as zero-fee; other methods may include booking fees).
