The Champions League qualifier draw invited Maccabi Haifa to an intriguing match against Olympiacos.
The green crowd stormed from yesterday (Wednesday) at noon on the flight tickets to Athens ahead of the rematch, which will be held in Greece on 26-27.7, which has not disappeared from the various airlines.
Flight tickets to Athens have gone up considerably from yesterday to today.
For example, the "Israel Today" check shows that a flight to Athens on Monday, July 25 and back to Israel on July 28 (Thursday), cost $ 379 yesterday at the cheapest price that could be found.
The same flights, this morning went up to a price of $ 506, when there are currently only flight tickets on the various websites at prices of $ 700 for a flight of only about an hour and a half.
Maccabi Haifa fans are angry about the situation that has arisen, and there is also a general difficulty in renting planes at this time of year, so even this possibility may not lower prices.
"Flights to Greece in July are usually for leisure purposes, here is something else that could easily take out a few thousand Israeli fans and it was probably not difficult to spot the trend," explained a senior Israeli airline official, who confirmed that there has indeed been a price increase since yesterday.
The Green Club is aware of the great demand among the fans and has received hundreds of requests for the purchase of reciprocal tickets, which will be held at the Giorgaus Haraisakis Stadium in Piraeus, which is considered particularly homey.
Due to this, Haifa may apply to the Greek luxury club to increase the number of tickets usually allocated to foreign teams.

On another issue, the champion opened her training yesterday, mostly with the loaned players and still without the national team and foreign players, who will only return on Sunday.
Swedish defender Daniel Sundgren is scheduled to land in Israel, undergo medical tests and join training with the team.
Goalkeeper Josh Cohen will also sign a new contract when he returns to Israel from a private vacation.
In addition to these two, club president Yaakov Shachar will meet with a number of players on the team to extend their contracts.
Among the names are defender Sean Goldberg and midfielder Omar Noble.
Brakeman Rami Gershon is also expected to continue in Kfar Galim and in the future, perhaps, join a professional position at the club.
