AC Milan, Celtic and Crystal Palace matches in Europa League with ticket and hospitality deals from under £40
By Saghir Hussain ·
Football's becoming a rich man's game again, but someone forgot to tell Champions Travel. They've just dropped Europa League packages for AC Milan at the San Siro, Celtic at Parkhead, and Crystal Palace's European nights — all with tickets and hospitality from under forty quid. That's not a typo. Forty pounds gets you into the cathedral of Italian football or the loudest ground in Scotland, with a proper seat and some grub thrown in.
Compare that to the Premier League circus where a half-decent seat at the Emirates or Old Trafford costs a week's wages for a care worker in Birmingham or a teacher in Glasgow. The big clubs have priced out the locals, replaced them with tourists and corporate boxes, then wonder why the atmosphere's flat. Meanwhile, Celtic Park on a European night? That's still real. San Siro under the lights? Still magic. Selhurst Park bouncing? Proper football.
Champions Travel aren't reinventing the wheel — they're just selling what used to be normal. A working lad from Liverpool or a student in Cardiff can still dream of European nights without remortgaging the house. The question is how long before the greedy get their hands on this too. Enjoy it while it lasts. When did you last see top-level European football live for less than a tank of petrol?
