Football fans hoping to see England in action in Euro 2012 next year can book short breaks with Thomson Sport – the only Licensed Tour Operator for the games and the only way England fans can guarantee a ticket for the group stages of next year’s competition.
The tour operator is offering both travel-only and travel and ticket holiday packages to the Ukraine, with tickets for both on sale now.
“As the only tour operator to guarantee match tickets, and with thousands of fans pre-registered already, we are expecting the phone to ring off the hook now packages are on sale,” said Tom Forshaw, Managing Director of Thomson Sport (thomsonsport.com).
“We have many years of experience working at major and varied sporting events so fans will be able to see and live the tournament experience while safe in the knowledge that they are in very capable hands.”
Day packages are available from Thomson Sport from £664 per person. This price includes flights, transfers and a category three ticket for one of England’s group games.
“Our day trips will get fans to the heart of the action with the right to buy guaranteed match tickets at face value. Plus as a fully bonded tour operator we offer security, local representation and knowledge,” added Mr Forshaw.
Two-night packages to Kiev, Ukraine, to see England face Sweden are also available. Prices for this package start from £1,199 per person, including flights, transfers, B&B accommodation, and a ticket to the game.
Football fans choosing this package will also get the chance to take advantage of a post-match analysis session by Prozone, as well as a Thomson Sport guide.
Low-cost airline Ryanair recently announced that it would not be increasing its fares to Poland in the run-up to the competition.
Fares to Poland are currently priced at €188 each way, but the carrier warns that these will sell out fast.
