Chapter 01 — The Fixture

Two cities. One trophy.

For the first time in fifty-five years, two capital-city clubs meet in the final of the European Cup. Paris arrive as defending champions, chasing back-to-back titles. Arsenal return to the final stage for the first time since 2006 — pursuing the trophy that has eluded the club for the entirety of its 140-year history.

PARIS

Les Parisiens · Founded 1970 · Parc des Princes

Luis Enrique's side return to Budapest as defending champions — the second team in the modern Champions League era to attempt back-to-back titles. After Chelsea, Liverpool and a record-breaking semi-final with Bayern München, Paris arrive carrying both form and unfinished business.

Arsenal

The Gunners · Founded 1886 · Emirates Stadium

Mikel Arteta's project, twenty years in the making. The only side to navigate the new 36-team league phase unbeaten, Arsenal carried that perfect record through Leverkusen, Sporting CP and finally Atlético Madrid — Saka's first-half goal at the Emirates ending two decades of waiting.

Twelve matches. Both still standing.

Under the new 36-team league phase format, every road to the final ran longer than before. These are the matches that brought Paris and Arsenal to within ninety minutes of immortality.

Chapter 04 — Inside the Bowl

The Puskás Aréna, in five categories.

Three tiers wrap a perfect rectangle. The lower tier is closest to the pitch and to atmosphere; the upper tier offers the cinematic view. Hospitality sits at the centre of the main stand — the perspective broadcasters cut to. Hover or tap any seat to find its category.

Chapter 06 — The Night

A trophy. A show.

The matchday programme is unlike any other in club football. A new earlier kick-off, a headline act, and the most recognisable trophy in the European game.

06
The Cup

The Trophy

Crafted by Jürg Stadelmann and lifted by the European champions each May, the trophy will be presented at the Puskás Aréna by the UEFA President. Twenty-eight names are engraved on its base — a list either Paris or Arsenal will join on May 30.

Chapter 07 — Venue & City

Puskás Aréna, Budapest.

Opened in 2019 on the footprint of the original Népstadion, the Puskás Aréna sits a kilometre from Budapest Keleti station. UEFA Category Four. It has hosted the 2020 Super Cup, four EURO 2020 matches, and the 2023 Europa League final — but this is its first Champions League final.

07

The stadium

Named for Ferenc Puskás — the most decorated Hungarian footballer of all time, who scored 512 goals in 528 league appearances for Honvéd and Real Madrid. Bowl-shaped, fully covered, built specifically with European finals in mind.

Two kilometres east of the historic centre. The city is well-connected: Liszt Ferenc Airport (BUD) sits 16 km south-east; direct rail from major European capitals.

Chapter 08 — Why Laurus

Twelve years of finals. Quietly.

We do one thing — secure access to football's biggest match — and we do it for a small number of clients each season. No mass marketplace. No surge pricing. Every seat sourced through vetted channels; every delivery handled directly.

08
01

Sourced, never resold blind.

Every ticket originates from UEFA-authorised channels, club allocations, or partner hospitality programmes. We tell you which before you commit. No mystery inventory.

02

One concierge. Start to finish.

You deal with the same person from enquiry to handover. WhatsApp, email, or phone. They know your party size, your seat preferences, and your flight number.

03

Delivered in Budapest.

Tickets handed over in person at your hotel on the day before the final, with ID verification and a signed handover. No emailed PDFs. No anxiety on the gate.

Chapter 09 — Reserve Access

Tell us what you need.

A reservation isn't a payment — it's a brief that goes to your concierge. You'll receive a personalised quote within four hours, with sourcing, seat positions and total price. You commit only when you accept.

Chapter 10 — Questions

Before you book.

The questions that come up most often. If yours isn't here, message your concierge — they answer all of them, in writing, before you commit.

When and how are the tickets delivered? +

All tickets for the UEFA Champions League Final are issued as digital mobile tickets via the official UEFA Mobile Tickets app (iOS and Android). UEFA has confirmed there are no paper tickets, no print-at-home PDFs, and no tickets mailed to your address for this final.

Once your booking is confirmed with us, your ticket is delivered to the email address on your order. You then download the UEFA Mobile Tickets app, sign in with that same email, enter the registration code UEFA send you, and complete your profile. Your ticket appears in the app; the QR code activates close to match day and is scanned at the stadium gate.

Important: screenshots and printed copies of mobile tickets are not valid. Only the original ticket inside the UEFA Mobile Tickets app, on the phone it was activated on, will be accepted at the gate. Your concierge will walk you through every step.

What payment methods do you accept? +
Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Apple Pay, and selected cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT). For totals above €25,000 we accept crypto only, settled through a regulated custodian with funds locked at the agreed EUR rate. A 30% reservation deposit secures your seats once you accept the quote; the balance is due seven days before the match.
Do you do KYC / identity verification? +
Yes. For final-match tickets we collect a copy of the lead booker's ID at the time of confirmation, and the matching ID is checked at handover. UEFA's verification rules for finals require name-matched access, and we comply.
Are refunds available? +
The deposit is non-refundable from the moment seats are confirmed in your name. Once the full balance is paid, the booking is non-refundable. If the match is rescheduled or staged behind closed doors by UEFA, full credit or refund is issued per UEFA's own ruling.
Can you handle larger groups or corporate bookings? +
Yes. The Champions Suite holds 8–12 guests as a private box; we can also block adjacent seats in Category 1 or Hospitality for groups up to thirty. Above thirty, please brief us early — we'll need to confirm allocation before quoting.
Hotel, transfer, flights — can you handle the whole weekend? +
Yes. Tick the relevant boxes on the form and your concierge will quote tickets and travel together. We work with five-star Budapest hotels (Four Seasons Gresham, Aria, Matild Palace, Kempinski Corvinus) and arrange chauffeured transfers to and from the stadium.
When should I book by? +
Hospitality and Suite allocations close quickly — historically within ten days of the semi-finals concluding. Category 1 and 2 remain available longer. Fans First seats are tightly limited and go on a first-come basis. We will tell you exactly what's available when you enquire.
Are you affiliated with UEFA, PSG or Arsenal? +
No. Laurus is an independent matchday concierge service. We source tickets through UEFA-authorised channels, club hospitality programmes, and licensed agents. We are not an official partner of UEFA, Paris Saint-Germain FC, or Arsenal FC.
