Russian Railways Cuts Prices to EURO 2012

Russian Railways to offer discounted tickets to fans en route to Euro 2012

Russian Railways recently promised fans traveling to Poland and Ukraine for the Euro 2012 football championships cheaper than usual tickets.

The company announced that passenger groups of eight or more traveling to any of the eight cities hosting the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine from June 8th to July 1st will get discounts on tickets up to 25%. Lower discounts will be available for smaller groups.

Extra trains are expected to be added to the Warsaw route, where Arshavin and the rest of the Russian team will play two of their three group matches. 

Russian Railways promises that minimum fares to Warsaw will not exceed 160 euros.

A similar deal is being worked out with airline tickets for planes headed to Warsaw, but nothing concrete has yet been produced.
