Arsenal have made it through to their first Champions League final in 20 years, and a trip to Budapest awaits the Gunners at the end of May.
Mikel Arteta's men will face the reigning European champions, PSG, in the final on Saturday, 30 May at the Puskas Arena, and the hunt for tickets among the Arsenal fanbase has already begun.
In terms of Champions League final locations, Budapest is difficult to beat. There are several ways to the Hungarian capital from all around Europe, and the Puskas Arena is a fitting backdrop for club football's biggest match.
If you are heading over to Budapest for the final, here is everything you need to know to make the trip an enjoyable one.
How many Arsenal fans are going to Budapest?
Arsenal have been given an allocation of 16,824 tickets for the Champions League final in Budapest. Considering the stadium has an overall capacity of 67,215, this is definitely on the low side, as it means less than half of the stadium will be made up of Arsenal and PSG supporters.
While this is the official allocation, thousands more Arsenal fans are expected to head over to Budapest without tickets. Making the Champions League final is far from a regular occurrence for the Gunners, so the club's fans are going to want to make the most of it.
Where will Arsenal fans sit at the Puskas Arena?
Arsenal fans have been allocated the north side of the Puskas Arena. Arsenal supporters will be situated in the first and third tiers of the stadium, with the middle ring reserved for premium ticket holders, similar to the set-up at Wembley Stadium.
The view from just about every seat at the Puskas Arena is excellent, and considering the magnitude of the match, we doubt anyone is going to be complaining about their tickets.
The small Budapest ticket allocation is why we pushed Arsenal for a home screening at the Emirates. There was good engagement with the club recognising it as something important to deliver for supporters. It is now hoped up to 35k will attend and at a very fair entry price.

How to get to the Puskas Arena: Guide for Arsenal fans in Budapest
The Puskas Arena is located around 3.5km east of the city centre, so some fans may elect to walk to the stadium, provided they give themselves enough time. The majority of fans, however, will make use of the city's Metro system.
To get to the Puskas Arena on the Metro, fans should use the M2 line. This line runs through multiple stops in the city centre before reaching Puskas Ference Stadion, where you should depart for the stadium.
