The School games provided toilets, vending machines, facilities such as a 3G pitch and football pitches. This meant that players and parents were allowed to use the toilets, players were allowed to play on the pitches, both 3G and grass pitches were used to due the amount of teams within the event.

Tickets 
Hospitality boxes 
Catering 
Premium Catering 
The ATP tennis was a predominantly profit based event prices were high to get in, buy food and offered premium catering once inside the hospitality suites. Tickets came at a price for a normal seat right the way up to hospitality seating. The price can start from double figures all the way up to triple figures 


School games 
When participating within the school games each team had to pay a price to enter themselves into the tournament. This was because they needed to provide some money to rent the pitches out from BMC.  There were no tickets that needed to be purchased and this was because the event was primarily volunteer based. Students gave up their time to host the event free of charge, so apart from the financing of the pitches no other finance was needed.

The school games event however had nowhere near the amount of spectators and did not need this level of security and only relied on volunteers to mitigate any issues.

The school games required emailing teams to play in the event where no tickets were purchased just a confirmation and a small payment from the teams to play.

However there was a limited amount of spaces. The ATP while providing a greater amount of parking, a fee was required. The ATP also provided charging stations for electric cars.

School games event on the other hand had very basic equipment such as footballs, goals and a coned out pitch due to much less funding and the event was only supported by local authorities willing to donate equipment.
