From London to Baku, "explode" English fans: Much spending, few tickets

London-Liverpool has become the main player in European football, which shows the total domination of England this season, who will play the Europa League final and then the Champions League final. It's about Arsenal-Chelsea and Tottenham-Liverpool respectively.

But these two destinations in England unite yet another thing: the indignation of the elections made by UEFA in terms of tickets for both challenges. Chelsea and Arsenal fans, for example, feel very frustrated because from a short distance of just a few kilometers inside the city, they will have to travel thousands of miles to make the final in Baku of Azerbaijan. The motive is completely financial, with the very high costs for this "transfer", for which on the other hand there are very few tickets available. Despite the fact that the capital of Azerbaijan has a stadium of 68 thousand and 700 seats, two London clubs have reserved only 6,000 tickets each. Leaving aside the cost of tickets, which are known to be salty at the last stage of the competition, clubs have calculated a need for spending at least 1,000 euros per person on arrival in Baku. For this transfer there are no direct lines from London to the Azeri capital, while other vehicles such as vehicles or trains would be extremely dangerous or no practice for that long distance. Somehow the situation is better for fans of Liverpool and Tottenham who will have to travel to Madrid's "Wanda Metropolitano". Atletico's stadium offers 16 thousand tickets for each club, out of the 68,000 seats it has. Fans, however, have come together in one voice to demand more transparency for the cost of travel and ticket, claiming an artificial increase of 840% on the London-Madrid axis, compared to a normal trip.
