English Football and Christmas
Of Europe's so-called 'Big Five' leagues, the Premier League is head and shoulders above the competition. A recent study stated that the revenue generated by the teams in the English Premier League was as high as £25 billion. This puts it in a league of its own when compared with the likes of the German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italy's Serie A, and the French Ligue 1.
Arguably the best players in world football play among the clubs in the English Premier League, and the number of football tickets sold for games played in the league is far above those in other leagues in Europe and beyond.
Traveling to the UK for Christmas Football Matches: A Guide
Christmas is a great time to visit the United Kingdom, and cities and towns throughout the land will have plenty to offer as well as the fine spectacle of a football match or two.
While buying tickets is one aspect to plan for, you'll also need to make sure accommodation and travel are arranged sometime in advance as the Christmas period can prove very busy in terms of hotels and other accommodation options.
In major cities, this will prove easier than in smaller locations, and any plan of a trip to the United Kingdom over this period should into account that public transport is less frequent over the Christmas Day and Boxing Day dates; in other words, make sure you are based relatively close to the stadium you are looking to visit.
