champions league final package deals anyone?

Does anybody know where is the best place to look for CL Final travel+ticket packages?

I'm sure some Liverpool supporters last year took some up.

I'd wait until tomorrow then they will start.
Arsenal v Barcelona or AC Milan will be mega.
Guess flight, 1 night accom and match ticket.... and knowing how much all the "travel agents/touts" (no difference) over here charge for the "ordinary"games,
I'd say it will be at least 500 euro for a day trip or 1 nighter.

Yep, I did. Then I puked, did a double take and decided to watch it in the pub. Only thing though, that fact that its in paris makes it much more accessable, bloody typical. You coud go the long route and drive or flly to London and get the train.

I paid 1100 euro for a day trip and it was worth every last cent. Do not miss this opportunity.

Yup, thats what I'm thinking. It's a once in a lifetime thing really. Although 1100 is a bit steep, I was hoping for something around the 600 mark

travel agent names?

€558 return on Aer Lingus now.

how much is the going rate for a ticket ?

It's in Paris right?

Fly to Charleroi, it's prob a fair bit cheaper and close too.

All you'd have to worry about then is a ticket and accom.

Most of the sporting travel agents did it last year, was available to book the Monday after Liverpool got through.

We went with Celtic Horizon Tours, can say a bad word about them!!

i booked a ryanair return flight from Dublin to Charleroi for €35 last night and also return trains from Brussels to Paris for €70, for a mate of mine.

He has a ticket for the match so all he needs now is accomadation in Paris for the one night.

Doing it that way work out cheap enough.

Just looked at the ryanair site now and the same flights are now €237. Looks like Ryanair has now copt on to that option.

Ryanair have NO flights back on the Thursday!

They've all jacked their prices up.
A return flight on ryanair was 70 Euro when they drew Real Madrid and Juve :eek:

I went with them and they weren't great! With all the hassle in the airport afterwards all of the tour operators skipped the queue to make sure they made it onto the plane and nearly left some poor sods behind, their attitude seemed to be fcuk you!

Going yourself may be hassle you may need an operator though! I got my tickets through UEFA but had no flights or accomadation and they had all been block booked well in advance by travel agents!

Cheers for that. Not the best flight times though. Here's the deal...

18 May Depart Paris (CDG)0840, arrive Dublin 0940
Accommodation
Selection of 3* Hotels located in Montparnasse, Opera or Montmartre.
MATCH TICKET
PRICE: To be advised

Flights back at 8.40am the morning after the game doesn't really appeal to me to be honest!

There is a notice on the Celtic Horizon Tours site saying they will not be running packages to the FA cup final. There may be some problem with doing it, I know the English FA have really clamped down on the sale of tickets for English games.

wow those prices are steep, thank fook I got didn't care who was in the final and got neutral tickets from the UEFA website the flight and accomodation was 250 euros for 2 days and 2 nights

MBC

I have just got a call from McInerney Sports to say they are doing a package:

Flights Dublin to Paris: Fly Out Tues 6.40am, Return Thurs 8.40pm
3 Star Hotel for the 2 nights
Match Ticket

:eek: :eek: :eek: €1899.00 (Yes One Thousand, Eight Hundred & Ninety Nine Euro) :eek: :eek: :eek: They are one of only a few companies doing a package.

Jaysus think I will buy a Large LCD Telly and watch the final on that instead !!

BTW the Abbey Travel one is €2299 !!!!

moshpit77

Limerick Travel are running a package for €2,000 odd. Apparently this includes a match ticket to the price of €500. Now if the most expensive match ticket being sold by UEFA is €200, does this mean they are touting?

damienom

Touting is probably what you could call it!!

Every year UEFA have a rule where the name of the person who purchased the ticket appears on it, you're meant to show your password at the ticket checkpoint to show that you are who you claim to be!

In Istanbul I was Klabitizh Likticiania for the night-didn't want to ask where the ticket came from
