Next up on our story, we have a passionate football fan who was feeling frustrated with the high costs of attending the Euros at fan zones in London. In a bold move, 23-year-old Callum Ryan from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire decided to take matters into his own hands and fly out to host country Germany instead.
Callum's mission was simple: to prove to other England supporters that a trip to Germany for the Euros can be affordable and hassle-free. He booked a two-hour flight with Ryanair from East Midlands airport to Berlin Brandenburg International airport for just £32.95. Upon landing, he bought a tube ticket for four euros to get to the city centre.
Once in Berlin, Callum met up with his friend and together they explored the city and did some shopping before heading to the fan zone for the match. Before booking his flight, Callum had done his research and found out that a ticket to the fan zone at Box Park in Shoreditch, London cost £32.21. In comparison, the fan zones in Germany were free, making his decision to fly to Germany a no-brainer.
When asked about his experience, Callum shared, "My plan was to spend a day in Berlin and experience the fan zone and the city. I even managed to grab a meal deal for just eight euros, which included a hotdog and a bottle of beer – a steal compared to the price of a pint in London." Callum's friend, Louiz, showed him around all the different fan zones in Berlin, and they even had time to do some shopping together.
Callum also raved about the atmosphere at the fan zone in Berlin. "The vibes were amazing, and the people were all in good spirits, just like when we hosted the Euros in 2020. Everyone was there to enjoy the football, and the food was great. The people were so friendly and welcoming," he shared.
He also mentioned the various activities available at the fan zone, such as food trucks, bars, and interactive games for all ages, as well as a big screen to watch the games. "The idea behind my trip was to show that you can fly to Germany for the same price as attending a fan zone in the UK," Callum explained.
Overall, Callum spent just £32.95 on his flight to Germany, excluding food and drinks – only 74p more than the cost of a ticket to the fan zone in London. This proves that a trip to Germany for the Euros can be just as affordable as attending a fan zone in the UK. So next time, why not consider taking the plunge and experiencing the excitement of the Euros in a different country? Who knows, you might even end up saving some money in the process!
