England Super-Fan Puts Second Home Up for Sale to Fund 2026 World Cup Quest

The move underscores how steep ticket prices drive costly cross-border travel.

Overview

  • English supporter Andy Milne has listed his Northwich second home for £350,000 to pay for World Cup tickets and travel.
  • He says he already holds tickets for every match England could reach and plans a seven-week trip starting with a June 3 flight to the U.S.
  • To cut lodging costs, he plans to sleep on friends’ sofas in Mexico, Dallas, and Vancouver.
  • Milne is a 62-year-old retired teacher who lives in Thailand and has followed England at every World Cup since 1982.
  • German outlets DER SPIEGEL and tz.de report his plan from quotes to the Mirror, as England’s group games are set for Dallas, Massachusetts, and New Jersey in a tournament spread across three countries.
