PieEater It was always going to be a problem getting there whichever team made it, so why did UEFA decide to hold it there? Obvious answer is that Baku paid handsomely for the privilege, so UEFA should use that cash to help people get there. Doubtless they will but only for the 50k+ tickets not given to fans.
Currently there are no direct flights and changing means a minimum 10hrs travel time. It's crazy.

Absolute shambles. If you can't afford a flight, then a train will take you over four days. And all for a match that kicks off at 11pm local time to accommodate the European audience.

To be fair the kick off time will help the players as they can stay on UK time and prepare as if for an 8pm ko.

indeed can’t help but like this guy.Sanguine From Jurgen Klopp:
"Madrid is unbelievably expensive but who decides Baku for a European final? Or Kiev? I don't know what the people who decide these things have for breakfast."
And also
I sleep as much as I need to. I can sleep pretty well. The only problem is, all the other guys in my age group know as well, I wake up in the night three times. But no worries, I’m fine.

Liverpool have earned €188m over the last two years combined in the CL.
Man United earned €133m in the same time frame. Missing out on the top-four is going to be expensive for them next year, even with a decent UEFA coefficient presumably boosting any Europe League payments.

From Despair To Where? Am I right in saying that one of UEFA's reasons for only giving them 6,000 tickets is that after factoring in that it's a ballache getting to Baku and Azerbaijan's a complete shithole, they figured people wouldn't want to go?

Taking into consideration the geographical location and logistical capacity of airports in and around the host city, it was deemed that around 15,000 spectators would be able to travel from abroad (this includes finalists' fans and general public), with Baku as the main hub."
It added that "offering more tickets to fans of the participating teams, without any guarantee that they would be able to arrange suitable travel to reach Baku, was therefore not a responsible option".
"Based on these circumstances, for this year's UEFA Europa League final in Baku, 6,000 tickets have been made available to each of the finalists."
