Arsenal’s run to the Champions League final should have been a unifying moment across the club after Mikel Arteta’s side reached their first European final in 20 years.
Instead, frustration has emerged behind the scenes after non-working staff members were told they would need to pay £859, approximately $1,151, for chartered travel packages to attend the final in Budapest against Paris Saint-Germain.
The situation has reportedly left several employees angry and disappointed, particularly because PSG have taken the opposite approach by covering both tickets and travel costs for their staff.
Staff anger grows over travel costs to Budapest According to a report by the Telegraph, multiple Arsenal employees were left dismayed by the cost of the chartered flight packages organised for the Champions League final on May 30.
All members of staff not working at the final have been offered one non-transferable match ticket for the showdown against PSG at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.
