Overview
- Following Tuesday's semi-final win, demand sent direct London–Budapest fares into the high hundreds or above £1,000 and drove hotel quotes above £1,000, with Booking.com warning that about 99% of places are unavailable for 30 May.
- Wizz Air said Thursday it will double flights from Luton and Gatwick around 29–30 May, while easyJet added more than 750 seats each way to Budapest as remaining fares climbed on the last seats.
- Arsenal confirmed 16,824 tickets for their section at the Puskás Aréna, with face-value prices set by UEFA from €70 to €950 and restricted view options priced lower within each category.
- UEFA urged supporters to avoid unofficial resale and will require buyers to use the UEFA Mobile Tickets app on the registered phone to enter, with tickets non-transferable except via its face-value resale platform.
- With some hotel rates rising more than 18 times the usual price, fans are piecing together cheaper routes via Vienna or Bratislava with rail links, booking long coach trips from London priced around £269 to £339, or opting for Arsenal’s £859 charter from Luton.
