Glasgow is a city of many things: rain, cold, beautiful Victorian architecture, haggis, Scottish people and a fierce football rivalry which lies at the heart of most Glaswegians. However, football is not the only sport at large in Glasgow. There are many different teams in and around Glasgow who offer a variety of student deals for tickets to live games. Here’s a list of the teams in Glasgow which offer special student priced tickets, so get yourself down for some live sporting action!

Glasgow Rocks Pro Basketball

Stereotypically basketball is an American-dominated sport, however, Scotland have got a great team which offer fantastic student prices. The Glasgow Rocks are Scotland’s only professional basketball team. They’ve had a silverware drought lasting seven years, but hopefully with a bit of support Glasgow Rocks can pull it out of the bag. This is a great opportunity to watch a different sport live, a cheap night out for your mates and something fun and interesting to do. Who knows, your support might just be what the Glasgow Rocks need to turn their luck around? With a cheesy motto ‘We Will Rock You’, a packed crowd and a great atmosphere Glasgow Rocks games are a guaranteed great night.
