    There's no quick and simple answer.

    It depends on what sport, what matches, what clubs, etc.

    Easy way - work for a paper, work for a photography agency.

    Sport and celeb photography are quite different fields.

    Course you can. Act like you should be there and nobody will bat an eyelid.

    It really depends. Some places have special sections for press photographers, which require prior approval for access. For this, a press pass (Press ID, NUJ membership, working for a paper, etc) would require you to be on the access list. Other places, you may very well be able to walk up and take photos.
