Euro 2016 update

Posted by Team England at 09:53 on Monday 06 July 2015

Many fans will be aware that UEFA’s Euro 2016 ticket portal has now opened. Within this first ticketing phase (open until the 10th July), fans can apply for single tickets or specific stadium tickets.

If England qualify for the tournament, the England Supporters Travel Club ticket application process will start shortly after the UEFA Euro 2016 draw takes places on the 12th December. After the draw, we will notify travel club members of the ticket application procedure, once the details have been confirmed to us by UEFA.

If you have applied for tickets within UEFA’s first phase and are subsequently successful, you will not be able to apply for the same England matches through the England Supporters Travel Club application process.

If an England Supporters Travel Club member obtains tickets during the current phase of UEFA’s general sale and after the draw in December discover that the allocated tickets fall on the same day as an England group match they will still be able to apply for the England match via The FA’s allocation.  However, they will be required to sell the original ticket via the Ticket Resale Platform which will be open from  March/April next year.  If they fail to sell the other ticket then they will not be issued the England ticket to ensure that they cannot have two tickets for matches taking place on the same day.  Please note that the Ticket Resale Platform will not be available to tickets bought through The FA as these are strictly non-transferable.

If an England Supporters Travel Club member obtains a knock out stage ticket via the first phase of UEFA’s general sale then it will not be known at the time of The FA’s application phase as to whether the match will be an England match (should England progress).

The same applies with this scenario whereby you will still be able to apply for these tickets through The FA but the original ticket will have to be relinquished before the England ticket can be issued. This is subject to UEFA running the Ticket Resale Platform throughout the tournament which they have still to confirm.

Please note that this will only be an issue with the Round of 16 matches where more than one match is played on the same day. For the Quarter-Finals and beyond there is only ever one match taking place on each day. Therefore, if you are allocated tickets for any of the Quarter Final matches and beyond through the current general sales phase and an England match happens to fall on the same day then the England ticket will automatically be cancelled as you will already have a ticket for the same match.

If you are not a member of the England Supporters Travel Club, there is still time to join before the application process begins. In order to be considered for tournament tickets members must have attended at least one match before the end of November 2015. From past experience we have found that members have a much better chance of applying for and obtaining tickets via the England Supporters Club than through UEFA.
