Plenty of reasonably priced flights to Munich - trains from there are pretty regular and reasonable

The salzburg accomodation looks pretty pricy though

Very much torn between really wanting to go to this because watching Villa in a Super Cup may well not be a thing I have the opportunity to do again, and sacking it off because paying lots of money to watch Villa in a glorified friendly isn't very sensible.

Are the trains about 3 hours though or am I looking at the wrong ones?

Ones I saw were direct and about 90-105 minutes. It’s about 30-40mins into the Hbf from the Airport.

Yea I was looking from the airport. I’m going to stay there now as good price and get there fairly late from Brum!

so I have flight sorted from brum to munich tuesday evening, then getting train to Salzburg wednesday morning.  Looking at hotel prices in Salzburg though they presumably have been inflated as more than I was hoping - especially near the stadium - any suggestions for anywhere a bit further out that wont cost too much to get back to after the game?  Theres a few more reasonably priced ones but your looking 6 miles or so from stadium.

I need to sit down tomorrow and have a proper search through but dont know where to start  :(

Doing the same as you but land Monday evening then taking the train Tuesday.

The capsule hotel was reasonably priced. I used the one in Rotterdam so I don’t mind them.

The ground is about 5 miles out of the centre anyway although there’s free public transport for anybody staying at hotels.

I’m staying near the station. I suppose most of the drinking will be in the old town!

When and how do tickets go on sale?

Could not go to Istanbul but was amazed how many people went with not even a single wy game to thier name

I thought ticket allocations were very strict?

Tickets for the Villa allocation will I assume be as per the criteria for the Final with categories based on Europa League attendance last season.

The reason people without aways went to the final was because that’s only about 3k-4k people so people in cat 3 who’d been to all 7 home games got a chance as well.

Ticket allocations are strict as per the above.

I booked a 4 day break just outside the city at the Hotel Voetterl Bed and Breakfast, Fly the morning of the game from Stansted and then fly back on Sunday. I booked it quite soon after Istanbul so it was £680 but t's now a touch over £1000

I hope to get tickets via the club lottery but as a pre-caution I have bought a ticket off a re-sale site which was £300 with a face value of £111. 

They must be UEFA employees selling them as there feedback (which was extensive and great) seems to be alll UEFA stuff...

I found it odd that this game was happening on a Wednesday night. I'm sure in the past they've been on a Friday, and I might have been tempted if that was still the case.

Is anyone going via Vienna. Been looking into doing it that way as flights to Munich have gone up a fair bit and this looks a bit cheaper. Just working out logistics.

Post by: saunders_heroes on June 11, 2026, 02:00:59 PM
On the 5.55am flight on the Tuesday from Brum to Amsterdam, then change for Munich, then the train to Salzburg. Back on Thursday evening.
Can't wait!

Yep, we’re doing that. Getting the train to Salzburg about 11.30ish on the Wednesday.

We're going from Prague. It's a 5 hour journey, but reasonably priced. With train from Brum, flight from Stansted, hotel Tuesday night and train to Salzburg, £258 all in. 11-13 Aug.
