Manchester City fans will embark on their second European away day of the season this week when they travel to Germany to see their team take on RB Leipzig on Wednesday, 4 November.

After losing to PSG in their most recent Champions League outing, getting back on track is important for the Blues as they look to ensure they finish inside the top eight and qualify automatically for the Round of 16.

City have been allocated 2285 tickets for the match, and these have all been snapped up by matchgoing Blues. Just how much is the trip costing, though? Below, FootballGroundGuide takes a look.

RB Leipzig vs Man City away day cost breakdown

The trip Leipzig is not a cheap or straightforward one for Man City fans, mainly because there is no direct flight path from Manchester to Leipzig, meaning connections are necessary. Accomodation prices aren't overly high, but the overall cost of the trip works out at around £779, assuming you are going for two nights.

Ticket

You can always rely on German clubs to be generous when it comes to ticket prices, and RB Leipzig have not let City fans down. The price of an RB Leipzig vs Man City ticket in the away end is priced at £13.50 if you're standing and £29 if you're seated.

Travel

The most logical route to get to Leipzig from Manchester is to fly to Berlin and then get a train from Berlin to Leipzig. Return flights from Manchester to Berlin on 03/11/26 and 05/11/26 are currently best priced at £355. Most fans will have booked much earlier, though, and secured flights for around £250.

Train tickets from Berlin to Leipzig are surprisingly cheap, provided you can get on a FlixTrain. A return ticket costs around £20.

Other travel costs to consider include getting to Manchester Airport (around £10pp on average) and travel while in Leipzig (also around £10pp on average).

Accommodation

Some City fans will stay in Berlin and get the train to Leipzig on matchday, while others will get to Leipzig in advance and set up base there. There are more options in Berlin, with the average budget hotel in the German capital costing around £90 per night. In Leipzig, the average per night is around £70. With most City fans staying for two nights, let's call accomodation costs £160.

Food/drink

Drinking and eating out for three days is going to add up. Most City fans will spend around £100 a day on food and drink, so a £300 budget will be required.
