Esports and Gaming Events in Stockholm

Updated 3 min read

Stockholm hosts esports and gaming events that draw fans and competitors flying in specifically for a tournament weekend, often staying for several days across qualifiers, group stages and a final. That's a different shape of trip from a single-day event — worth planning around a multi-day stay near the venue rather than a single arrival-and-departure.

This guide covers thinking through the venue and a nearby base, and getting from Arlanda without the trip's logistics competing with the event itself.

Multi-day events change the planning

If you're attending across several days, it's worth choosing accommodation genuinely close to the venue rather than somewhere that looked convenient on a map but means a real journey each morning. A short stay built around one venue benefits from staying put nearby far more than a typical sightseeing trip would.

Getting to the venue from Arlanda

Set your hotel or the venue itself as the destination for your arrival transfer, with your flight number attached so the pickup follows your actual landing — useful if you're on a tight schedule to reach a qualifier or opening ceremony and can't afford the trip in from the airport to eat into that.

  • Book straight to your hotel or the venue, whichever matches your day-one schedule
  • Flight tracking means a delayed landing doesn't automatically mean missing the start of the event
  • The fixed price for the whole car covers a group travelling together for the tournament

Gear and equipment

If you're travelling with peripherals, a personal setup, or team merchandise rather than just clothes, it's worth mentioning anything bulky or fragile in your booking notes, the same way you'd flag oversized sports equipment — we confirm the car has room for it before pickup.

Travelling as a team

Competing teams and their supporting staff often travel together, sometimes with shared equipment cases that don't split neatly between individual bags. Booking one car sized for the whole group, rather than several smaller bookings, tends to be simpler to coordinate and means the team arrives together rather than staggered across separate pickups — useful when there's a schedule to keep for check-in or a practice session before the tournament proper begins.

Between sessions

A multi-day tournament often has gaps — an early elimination that frees up an afternoon, or a day between group stage and finals with nothing scheduled. If those gaps turn into plans to see more of the city, a custom point-to-point booking covers that the same way it covers the original airport transfer, with the same fixed price and no need to plan it out before you fly.

What every Förare booking includes

The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.

  • Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
  • 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
  • No terminal fee
  • No surge pricing, ever
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours

Questions people ask before booking

Can I book the transfer straight to the event venue rather than a hotel?

Yes — set the venue as your destination when you book, particularly useful if you need to be there quickly for a qualifier or opening event.

What if my flight is delayed and I might miss the start of the event?

The transfer tracks your flight and the pickup follows your actual landing time, which helps once you're on the ground, though it can't change what the delay itself costs you.

Can I bring gaming peripherals or team gear on the transfer?

Yes — mention anything bulky or fragile in your booking notes, and we confirm the car fits it before pickup.

Is it worth staying near the venue for a multi-day tournament?

Most attendees find it worthwhile — a short journey each day beats a longer commute across the city for an event spread over several days.

Does a group travelling together for the event pay one price?

Yes — the fixed price covers the whole car for the route and vehicle category chosen, regardless of how many people are travelling together within it.
