Arsenal fans plan trips to Champions League final but face £1,500 flights or Bucharest night train

Arsenal fans face significant logistical and financial challenges ahead of the Champions League final on 30 May in Budapest, with direct flights from London costing up to £1,500 and hotel rooms scarce near the Hungarian capital. The club will receive only 16,824 official tickets for the showpiece event, which could become the most expensive Champions League final to attend in history. Alternative travel options include an overnight train via Bucharest, as supporters try to meet midfielder Declan Rice's call for 200,000 fans to gather along the Danube.
