World Sports reporter: Bilbao hotel costs soared due to the Europa League final, with an apartment of 16,000 euros per night

May 16th, World Sports reported that as the UEFA Cup final approaches, local hotel prices in Bilbao soar.

World Sports reporter Xavier Bosch wrote: "During the 30 hours of staying in Bilbao for official business, this city with a population of 300,000 has only one topic: the upcoming Europa League final of the two Premier League champions that will be staged in the middle of next week. When the trauma of Athletic Bilbao's exit gradually faded, the sudden influx of 80,000 Manchester United and Tottenham fans has become the city's obsession. These fans who arrived on Wednesday and left on Thursday made it difficult to find a hotel room. A hotel manager told me that the original price of 300 euros has soared to 2,500 euros and all sold out. The price of B&Bs on the final night has risen to 4,500 euros. I heard that there is an apartment in Wuchu District, Inda and Wuchu District, which offered a sky-high price of 16,000 euros per night. I joked: Is this price winning the final? ? ”

"Many people were indignant of the greedy image exposed by the city. Some people strongly opposed to exploiting huge profits on this day, believing that this would damage the reputation of the city. Bars and restaurants are also preparing to implement a crazy price increase that is almost unconstitutional, and the dispute between ethics and economics is particularly fierce at this moment." ”

"St. Mames Stadium? UEFA has taken over the venue, and the annexes are full of staff with documents. Thanks to the generous help of Gard Regra, the head of the Athletic Bilbao Foundation and best-selling writer, I was able to enter the club headquarters. Here, they revealed to me the secret that the team has never been relegated, a sacred relic of the martyrs of St. Mames. Of course, this is just the humor of the locals." ”
