The battle for Budapest: Arsenal fans scramble for Champions League final flights as budget airlines put prices up to over £1,000, hotels cancel bookings – and most won’t even have a ticket!

Arsenal fans are being gouged with extortionate flight and hotel prices after the club reached the Champions League final.

The most convenient return flight package with budget brand Wizz Air has soared to £1,195 – while their cheapest direct round trip for the Friday-Sunday is £918.

More than 96 per cent of the hotel options on Booking.com have been wiped out for the final weekend.

The cheapest bed remaining for a single adult is £268 – but you’ll have to hunker down in a hostel room alongside three others. 

Supporters could easily end up spending around £1,500 on their flights, room, grub, and booze – and that’s before they’ve even got a match ticket for the final on Saturday May 30.

The cheapest tickets are the ‘Fans First’ and the easy access/wheelchair brackets for €70.00 (£60.41), but the price hike is steep from there.

Arsenal fans will have to shell out around £1,000 just to get to the Champions League final

The cheapest hotel bed left is £268 for the final weekend from May 29 to May 31

Category three tickets will set fans back 180 euros (£155.34), or 140 euros (£120.83) for a restricted view. 

Category two tickets cost 650 euros (£560.86), or 520 euros (£448.68) with a restricted view.

The category one ticket prices will knock your socks off.

They weigh in at a whopping €950.00 (£819.68) – almost the price of an adult season ticket at the Emirates Stadium – or 760 euros for a restricted view (£655.82).

Declan Rice called on 200,000 Arsenal fans to make the journey after the Gunners beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home last night. 

‘Bring it on, bring it on – I’ll be ready. Let’s see what happens. Budapest, I want every Arsenal fan out there, 200,000 of you, come out!’ he said. 

‘Let’s try and do it because we’re going to need all the support, all the energy and let’s make it really special.’

But if that many do travel out, more than 90 per cent of them won’t even get entry to the ground.

Arsenal say that they have been given a ticket allocation of 16,824 – around a quarter of what they pack into the Emirates every home game. 

One thing is for certain: whoever goes will take a mighty hit in the wallet or purse. 

Daily Mail Sport has investigated the fees if a single supporter wanted to make a weekend of it from May 29-31.

The cheapest direct return flights as as follows: Luton 6.20pm to Budapest 9.55pm on the Friday, then 11.05pm Budapest on Sunday night to Luton 12.50am on Monday morning. 

The most convenient option comes in at £1,195. That’s from Gatwick at 4.20pm on the Friday, landing at Budapest at 8pm; then 9.15pm to 11.05pm to return on the Sunday.

Of the remaining beds, the cheapest is going for £268 for the weekend at the Urban Nomad Hostel, with an average rating of 6.5.
