How much would you pay for a ticket to watch England’s Euro 2024 final against Spain at Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday night?

One Hartlepool pair have named their price after travelling to the German capital ahead of the 8pm showdown.

Tommy Swift, 44, and nephew Michael Swift, 22, from Hartlepool, said they reached Berlin via plane, train, tram, foot and scooter.

Tommy said they booked the travel three weeks ago because they had faith in the England team but had not got match tickets yet.
