Euro 2020 VIP tickets being sold for £20,000 leave fans fuming over rip off prices only for the ‘mega rich’
ENGLAND fans have blasted Euro 2020 bosses for marking up £20,000 VIP Euro 2020 tickets for “millionaire” fans.
A more basic package which guarantees tickets to the Three Lions’ three Group D games against Croatia, Czech Republic and a yet-to-be-decided play-off winner, costs an eyewatering £2,000.
But the top of the range package costs TEN TIMES that — offering a “prestige platinum” experience, including unlimited champagne.
That option guarantees fans all seven games under the arch, including for the semi-final and final.
The prices go downwards from there, with some options costing £13,700, £10,600 and £7,900.
Wealthy fans can enjoy: “The stylish and vibrant setting of a lounge with a private table, high-end cuisine plated meal service and unlimited champagne.”
Other packages offer tickets to any of the games at Wembley with VIP treatment, starting at £1,200 per game.
According to the , supporters are fuming at adverts on social media targeting the “mega rich”.
One said: “You need to be a millionaire to afford these.”
Unlike Wales fans, who have to pay upwards of £800 just to fly to Baku in Azerbaijan and pay for hotels, England fans will, at least, be able to watch their team on home soil in the group stages.
But that has put a sour taste in the mouth of many Three Lions supporters, especially those who have traveled to watch their team all over Europe, including destinations like Czech Republic, Kosovo, Bulgaria and Montenegro.
Uefa has closed its ballot for lower-priced Euros tickets, with 90,000-capacity Wembley the largest venue of any involved in the tournament.
England fans have also smartly banked on the fact that their side will likely play their round-of-16 game at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
Fans in selective seats have often been criticised for failing to get back to their seats after half-time during games at the national stadium, with supporters preferring to enjoy the VIP treatment instead.
