Arsenal fans are being hit with soaring costs for travel to Budapest for the Champions League quarter-finals. Direct air fares from London to the Hungarian capital start at around £1,000, with a night in an 'economy double' hotel room priced at £2,000.
This means that a minimum outlay of £3,000 is required for the trip, which many fans may struggle to afford. The news comes as the club's supporters' organisation, the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, prepares for a significant influx of fans for the match.
The Champions League quarter-finals are set to be a major event for Arsenal, with the team looking to secure a spot in the semi-finals. However, the high travel costs may deter some fans from attending the match.
Arsenal's trip to Budapest is set to take place on 12 April, with the team facing Hungarian side Ferencváros. The match is expected to be a sell-out event, with fans from across the UK and Europe set to descend on the Hungarian capital.
The high travel costs are a significant issue for fans, who may struggle to afford the expense. The Arsenal Supporters' Trust has called on the club to provide support for fans who are struggling to afford the trip.
