The ticket deadline for Euro 2024 is over as of Thursday lunchtime - and fans will be hoping they've been successful in the ballot as their teams compete for glory in Germany.
Germany, England, Scotland, Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and Austria have all secured their name in the hat for the tournament in June, with another 15 teams set to follow in the coming five weeks - though by that point, the ticket ballot will have already been completed for budding fans.
A tournament in itself can be extremely expensive for fans to be around. Qatar 2022 saw a huge outlay for fans to even get to the Middle East, which is one benefit of the Euros - most of the host nations are easy to get to.
Germany is no different and some will fly to Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium or any other surrounding countries in a bid to get to the central nation for cheap. But in terms of travel in and around Germany for the Euros, it's as cheap as ever with the Germany FA and UEFA announcing that match tickets will include 36 hours of free public transport - and in comparison to Euro 2028 in the UK, that is lightyears away.

As per the report on the website Euro2024inGermany, you can get around the central European nation's 10 chosen stadiums in around 36 hours for the grand total of €49 - or, at time of writing, £42.68.
This starts out in the capital of Berlin on the east side of the nation, where you can go from there to Leipzig by setting off - somewhat early for most people - at 04:14am in the morning. From Leipzig, travel to Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt follows on Day 1 - with in and around an hour in between each stop. Arriving at Frankfurt just before midnight, you can then embark on Day 2.
From there, you would travel to Cologne, Dusselfort, Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund up the west side of the country - with those four cities taking just a mere 2 hours and 51 minutes to navigate between in Germany's Westphalia region, where there is a complete cluster of stadiums.
Following on from here, a long service from Dortmund to Hamburg on the north coast follows, before the final train to Berlin gets you back into the capital at 7:59pm - marking an entire journey time of all 10 stadiums at 39 hours, 45 minutes. At €49, this is quite remarkable - and you'd have 29 more days of travel to go.
In comparison, Euro 2028 would be much more expensive, and it would take longer to navigate given that Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland are also hosting one ground per nation for the tournament.
By starting off in London, where Wembley and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are both situated, you would go from the host city to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on a train - though this alone costs £117.28, according to the study, which is almost three times the amount of the ENTIRE travel cost for Euro 2024.
Trains to Birmingham's Villa Park, Manchester's Etihad Stadium and Everton's new Bramley Moore Dock stadium in Liverpool follow before a ferry over to Dublin's Aviva Stadium wraps things up on Day 1, a mere 19 hours after leaving. Then, it's up to Northern Ireland's Casement Park, a ferry over to Hampden Park in Glasgow, a train to Newcastle's St. James' Park and then a train back to London, which finishes up a journey of 42 hours and 7 minutes after setting off from the capital on Day 1.
At a cost of £425.72 for the entire trip, it's easy to see why Germany's Euro 2024 bid is so favourable.
