Arsenal staff have reportedly been left 'angered and disappointed' after the club offered them £859 third-party chartered flights to the Champions League final in Budapest. The Gunners face Paris Saint-Germain on May 30, but the price has put off some employees.
The club have been allocated 16,824 general admission tickets by UEFA for the match at the Puskas Arena. While PSG are paying for their staff to attend, Arsenal have taken a different approach, offering one free non-transferable ticket per employee but requiring them to pay for travel.
According to The Telegraph, chartered flights with SportsBreaks cost £859 per person, leaving from London Luton early on match day and returning straight after the game. Around a third of staff have taken the offer, but some feel they have no choice, especially if needed back for a potential trophy parade on May 31.
Arsenal have made free tickets available for a screening at the Emirates Stadium as an alternative. The high costs come despite the club pocketing £120 million from their Champions League run this season.
