England fans face price hikes for Euro 2024 final – where to watch Spain match | UK News

As England fans looking to travel to Germany face price hikes, Sky News breaks down the costs and explains where you can watch the match.

England fans hoping to watch the Euro 2024 final in Berlin against Spain are facing steep price hikes, with some flights costing three times more than usual.

Hotels and flights takeoff

The cost of a Sunday night hotel is double the normal price and a one-way flight on Sunday morning is three times the normal price, according to research by Sky News.

The price of a one-way flight from London to Berlin is typically around £75, according to Google Flights.

However, if you can find one, a one-way flight on Sunday is costing around £243 — a 320% increase.

Meanwhile, for accommodation, the typical price of a three-star hotel in Berlin would be around £88.

However, fans hoping to spend the night in Berlin on Sunday are now faced with a price tag of around £166 – almost double the standard price.

Fans will also find it difficult to travel from England to Berlin at any point over the weekend.

EasyJet’s 12 flights to Berlin from Birmingham, Bristol, Luton and Gatwick between Friday and departure are fully booked.

There are also no British Airways flights on Saturday from London to Berlin.

Cost to drive

Fans hoping to avoid the price hikes on flights and drive instead will also face high costs.

The cost of fuel alone to drive from Birmingham to Berlin is around £175, according to the ‘Via Michelin’ cost calculator – with the journey taking approximately fourteen hours.

The cost of a standard one-way ticket for the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais – a vital aspect of the journey – appears to have remained stable.

If you book a ticket for Sunday between 7am and 10am, the price is around £178. Either side of these times, the standard price drops slightly to £140.

This means the approximate total cost of driving to Berlin one way is £325. And of course, fans will need to get back home.

Online reserved parking in Berlin city centre costs around £40.

Train tickets

The standard cost of a train ticket has also increased.

The cost of a one-way journey from London to Berlin on Saturday afternoon, arriving early Sunday morning, is around £410, according to Trainline.

The same ticket a week later costs around £255.

Stadium tickets

Fans hoping to buy a last-minute ticket to watch the England v Spain game in Berlin will be disappointed as tickets are “currently unavailable” and sold out on the UEFA website.

Fan zones in Berlin

Fans will be able to watch the final in Berlin’s fan zones for free, without needing a ticket.

There are two fan zones located in Berlin: Reichstag and Brandenburger Tor.

The Reichstag fan zone will be open from 2pm local time until midnight and will also feature an entertainment programme including live music and a DJ set.

The Brandenburger Tor fan zone will be open all day and is the perfect spot for selfies, as the screen is framed by what UEFA is calling the world’s biggest football goal.

Fan zones in England

Football fans will also be able to watch the final in a number of locations across England on Sunday.

London:

The Mayor of London has confirmed he will welcome 15,000 fans to a screening of the Euro 2020 final at the O2 Arena.

All three Boxparks in the capital will also be playing the match on Sunday, and Flat Iron Square has an impressive 18 screens to watch Sunday’s match. All of them will require ticket bookings.

Clapham Grand in south London will be showing the match on a huge 24ft screen, but you’ll need to book your seat.
