Supporters of Manchester United and Tottenham have been warned to expect eye-water prices for alcoholic beverages in Bilbao for the Europa League final.
The message comes after hotel accommodation in the city that will organize the final next week that was shot by 900 percent after the Red Devils and Spurs confirmed their place in the showpiece.
Bilbao expects around 80,000 supporters to descend into the Basque city for the event with the inhabitants of the city that deleted themselves for an invasion like they 'never' confronted, according to reports in Spain.
Rather predictable, local suppliers would like to exploit the explosion in their potential customer base and increase prices to maximize their profit. However, Basque consumers and user organization Delegate Kepa Loizaga has criticized the practice that has seen the prices Ballon '7, 8 and even 9 times'.
Loizaga urged bars and restaurants to not sell 'Pinten beer for 10 euros', as was the case during the European Rugby Cup final in 2018.
Moreover, he hit the 'disproportionate and exorbitant' pricing policy that much of Bilbao Hoteliers was implemented and also gave a warning to the city for the image that it projects for the world.
“We already know that almost all companies work according to supply and demand, both flights and accommodations,” he told Bilbao Outlet El Correo. 'There are no limits for increases or decrease. Everyone sells their product the way they want. '
He added: “What we transfer to the rest of the world is very negative.”
The two Premier League parties booked their place in the last impressive victories against Athletic Bilbao and Bodo/Glimt respectively, and will want to save their seasons in San Mames after less than impressive competitions.
The side of Ange Postecoglou is currently 17th in the standings of the Premier League, with the players of Ruben Amorim only one place above them in 16th place.
However, the road to securing both a ticket and a bed to sleep in the night of May 21 remains exceptionally challenging, with fans wanting to pay thousands for travel and accommodation.
Despite the obstacles, dozens of British fans will make the journey, with El Correo suggesting that man United and Spurs fans are set to the Basque city.
According to the Spanish Outlet, at least half of the fans who make the journey to Bilbao will probably arrive without a ticket, with Joseba Goirigolzarri, the president of three-to-Vijf star Hotel Union Destino Bilbao who suggests that British fans' will negotiate with sponsors, federations and sponsors of sponsors, federations and sponsors of sponsors, federations and sponsors of sponsors, federations and sponsors of sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations and sponsors, federations, and sponsors. Mames'.
Other voices interviewed in the report, such as Hector Sanchez who manages the Bizkaia Hotel and Restaurant Association (AHB), has emphasized that 'the volume of people that will attract this competition is unique.
“We have never confronted anything like this in the city.”
However, the intake is likely to be welcomed by the hoteliers, suppliers and restaurantors of the city, with an owner of the hospitality who is happy with the two teams that have reached the final.
“They have high purchasing power and are greater editions and drinkers than others,” said Felix Pede.
Whether that remains the case after the expenditure has been paid before the journey to and from the coastal city can still be viewed, with postport that reports on Friday morning after confirming the final that the cheapest flight to get from London to Bilbao on 21 May would lead a no less than £ 355 for a one -way ticket.
