Extra flights laid on for Euros final begin selling out in HOURS with Three Lions fans snapping up seats at £600-a-pop
A HUGE number of extra flights laid on for England fans descending on Berlin for the Euro 2024 final have started to sell out within hours.
British Airways confirmed two more flights will operate from London to Berlin over the weekend after thousands of fans tried to book a trip to Germany after Wednesday’s historic win.
It comes as desperate England fans have been priced out of attending the final in Berlin with ticket prices soaring since Ollie Watkin’s winner against the Netherlands.
Up to 50,000 supporters are expected to race to the Three Lions’ first ever final on foreign soil as part of a ‘Berlin Airlift’.
Leaving those who couldn’t grab a gold dust ticket already planning to jet off to a sunny location such as Benidorm to enjoy the game.
Following England’s last gasp screamer fans were quick to try and snap up tickets, flights and hotels ahead of a historic Sunday 14.
Ticket prices for Sunday’s final flew up on the re-sale market with the most expensive seat selling for an incredible £78,000-a-pair.
Some of the lowest-priced tickets – known as “Fans First” – are now sat at £4,400 – 25 times more expensive than the £85 face value they’re worth through UEFA.
Meaning the cost has soared by 2,456 per cent, according to data from KingCasinoBonus.
UEFA have warned fans about buying tickets from outside sellers as they said: “We urge fans not to purchase tickets on the secondary market.”
Not only do fans need to fork out a small fortune on tickets to the match but they also need to pay for flights and hotels.
Joyous England fans have spent the night scrambling to join a ‘Berlin Airlift’ heading to Sunday’s final against Spain – with flights swiftly soaring up in price.
With 21 EasyJet flights to Berlin from Birmingham, Bristol, Luton and Gatwick between Friday and the match also being fully booked.
The remaining EasyJet flights going from Gatwick to Berlin in the next few days are priced at a whopping £918.
The same seat will set back punters just £167 a week later.
Hotel prices in Berlin have also rocketed with a one-night stay at a Holiday Inn in Berlin costing £345 on Sunday night.
Over £200 more expensive than the same room a week later.
The Courtyard Berlin City Centre is also charging £606 for Sunday night in its cheapest room – but just £137 the following Sunday.
