The club and SET have investigated chartering a flight to Germany, however it will not be a cost effective option for fans.
Due to the complexity of block booking the amount of flights likely required, any of the Purple Army that would like flights included in their package are invited to contact SET: info@sportsprotravel.com.
We’re currently working with SET to investigate a potential more cost effective coach package.
