Since 2004, Bucket List Events has been helping our guests complete items on their personal lists one amazing event at a time. Through the years, we have met guests from all pockets of the globe seeking memories to last a lifetime. Our guests come in all shapes and sizes, an even combination of friends and family looking to share an experience together. Several have trusted us on multiple occasions to assist in fulfilling dreams and aspirations that they have scripted in their minds for years.
So when two middle-aged guys, junior high buddies and sports aficionados came to run with the bulls in 2016, they didn’t really stand out in the crowd. However, while socializing with the duo over a few glasses of sangria, we learned about their literal bucket list and their organized plan to accomplish every thing on it. They dubbed their campaign “25 by 75” for the number of bucket list trips they hope to complete before turning 75 years old.
Fast forward six years, and those two gentleman have made a serious dent in their personal bucket lists…and brought about an interesting business idea. As Bucket List Events looks to improve our current events and potentially add future ones to our menu, who better to consult than our actual clients? So early in 2023, Bucket List Events launched our Global Ambassadors program.
Who are the Global Ambassadors? In short, they are you.
They play with the toys before you do to work out the kinks. They indulge bucket list events first to ensure that your future experience is the best it can be when your adventure comes around.
Their adventures so far have included navigating a practice sled at the 2017 Iditarod in Alaska at sub-zero temperature, attending the 2018 World Cup Final in Moscow, handing water to participants in the 2019 Ironman World Championship in Kona, and marlin fishing off of Panama in 2019. In 2018, they took a pilgrimage to the holiest of NFL holies — Lambeau Field — to watch the Green Bay Packers play. While not all of those things are on the current Bucket List Events menu, they could be one day.
You can read about their past exploits thus far, and stay tuned for future adventures.

“”Perfect trip!!! First time to the Kentucky Derby and it was the best!! Bucket List events made the trip easy and fun. If I could rate over 5 stars. I would. Thank you all at Bucket List Events - especially Ben! “I’ll be back.”
“”Brian and Rich are Masters of their craft! Our World Cup trip to Qatar was met with the highest regard to trip details and follow up. This was not my first experience with them and will not be my last! Ryder Cup 2023 Rome, here we come!
“”My son and I had an amazing time in Qatar for the World Cup, thanks to Bucket List Events. When I first started looking into options, Brian was helpful answering questions, gave me confidence that Bucket List was the way to go. Throughout our preparation and trip itself, Rich was great to work with, very responsive and made sure our experience in Qatar was outstanding. Given all the different elements of this trip, it was incredibly valuable having Bucket List make it all happen so smoothly, including our match tickets (outstanding seats & hospitality!), hotel, desert excursion, city tour and more! Thanks Rich and Bucket List for a fabulous and memorable experience!
“”This was my first World Cup and It was an amazing experience. Since it was my first time I was very nervous about the transaction but I decided to trust them. Rich delivered everything that he promised and went beyond since we needed an extra night in Doha and he was able to find us a hotel. I recommend BLE 100% to everyone who is looking to get access to this kind of world events.
“”Dreams really do come true! Bucket List Events made our Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and NYC experience perfect. Ben was always knowledgeable and helpful and best of all always had a smile on his face. Can’t thank them enough for a wonderful and memorable time. Looking forward to traveling with them again.
“”We booked with Bucket List Events for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Trip of a lifetime! They was great to deal with, including accommodating last minute ticket requests! Everything was well organized, communication from booking to departure was excellent - such a great experience!
“”It was so well planned out and executed by Ben and his staff. The hardest part in any business/experience is matching the value in ‘dollar cost’ to the value in experience and this team did this perfectly. It was absolutely worth the price tag, and I’d recommend them to anyone, every time.
“”Just wanted to thank you for your help in making such a memorable trip for my dad, uncle, and myself this week. We had an absolute blast. Everything from housing, hospitality, and transportation was top-notch. Know how hard everyone was working to take care of people and can not imagine the logistics of pulling that off, but you all did it, and it was superb.
Thank you for making this happen for us. Trip of a lifetime with special memories.
“”We used Bucket List Events for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and weekend and it was excellent all around. They accommodated every request and every detail was perfect. There is no better way to enjoy New York City for Thanksgiving Day Weekend!
“”They set up things I couldn't have even dreamed of doing, or planned myself. The team was extremely friendly and helpful, you can tell they LOVE what they do. Thanksgiving 2021 in NYC, check that off the bucket list in the most special way ever! Thank You Bucket List!!
