Supporters looking to attend the Europa League final in Bilbao face steep costs, with packages and accommodations priced high, especially after Tottenham and Manchester United secured their spots. UEFA's ticket allocations, though starting at 40, have increased for general admission. The potential resale market poses challenges as many tickets are expected to enter general sale. With limited accommodations available, prices have surged, prompting concerns from fans about exploitation in travel and hospitality sectors. The situation echoes price gouging seen in other high-demand events, revealing broader issues in fan experiences during big matches.
Football fans are being exploited by airlines and hotels and Airbnb owners in the same way that people applying for Oasis tickets are when there's surge pricing.
Uefa has allocated 15,000 tickets to each club, with a further 11,000 tickets on general sale, out of a total capacity of 49,000.
