Eurostar SELL OUT of tickets on day before UCL final as Liverpool fans scramble

  /  autty

Liverpool supporters have began their mad scramble to get to Paris after their team booked a spot in the Champions League final - with Eurostar now selling out of tickets on the day before the grand showpiece.

Supporters will be desperate to soak up the atmosphere outside the Stade de France and attend the match on Saturday May 28 after the Premier League outfit beat Villarreal 3-2 (5-2 on aggregate) on Tuesday night.

Liverpool will face either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final and have already triggered a frenzy to reach the French capital - and that's before Man City fans have even had the chance to book their own tickets, should they beat Madrid in their own semi-final on Wednesday night.

Fans hoping to travel to Paris via train may be left disappointed after Eurostar sold out of tickets on May 27 - the day before the final. When Sportsmail attempted to purchase tickets, the only way to do so was to buy Business Premier seats, costing more than £250 for one way and arriving at 7.50pm local time - just over an hour before kick off at 9pm.

The full return ticket would set fans back £490 if they wanted to return to England the following day - and that is before accommodation is taken into account.

Eurostar's website urges fans to consider days either side of the 27th due to it being a 'very busy day', and and earlier arrival could be a better option.

Supporters could opt to arrive on Thursday May 26 for a longer stay in Paris and return on May 29 for as little as £300.

Flying to Paris is also an option, though tickets are increasing dramatically in price from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Tickets have shot up to as much as £600 and as little as £400 on the day before the final - though they decrease to roughly £300 if fans want to chance flying in on the day of the event.

Manchester City fans may be feeling luck and try to buy tickets before they know their own club's fate. The cheapest flight from Manchester to Paris on May 27 is £323 and roughly £400 on the day of the final. Those prices will likely shoot up, however, if City see off Madrid to book their place.
