Semi final dilemma

Misses already has a semi final ticket if we win the group through uefa sales earlier this year but still needs to apply for semi tkt through EF in case we get that far finishing runners up

How does that work ?

Can she still apply for a semi tkt ?

    Your wife certainly can't hold a conditional semi-final ticket from the FA allocation and an unconditional ticket to one semi-final from the general public lottery. This is because, depending on England's pathway through the tournament, she could end up with 2 tickets to the same match.

    I came across this article in the Euro 2020 general public lottery T&Cs :-

    3.27. Any Successful Applicant who purchases or is allocated Tickets for the relevant Match via any other method (including but not limited to Tickets purchased and allocated via the Participating National Associations Fan Sales process) are not permitted to receive Tickets pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Request for such Tickets will be rejected or cancelled, regardless of whether such Request has been accepted by UEFA Events SA.

    Translating from Bafflegab to English, I think this is anticipating that some people will apply for tickets through their PNA, e.g. the FA, for matches they have already got through the public lottery. This article seems to be saying that the original tickets from the public lottery would be cancelled. What it is not saying is :-
    -  whether any other tickets in your public lottery order would also be cancelled,
    -  whether you would get a refund on the cancelled tickets,
    -  whether you would be allowed to keep the tickets from the PNA sale.

    You have nothing to lose by checking this interpretation with the UEFA 'contact us' help desk and getting answers about the above questions. You can offer to submit the ticket from the public lottery to the ticket re-sales platform in March if you were successful with your ticket request through the FA.

    Is it correct you can’t have tkts for consecutive days ?

    In reply to Graham Morrison:

    No, that's not correct. There are some members with much longer memberships than me who say that there used to be such a rule. But there is definitely no such rule in the T&Cs for the 2020 tournament.

    But there was a way around it in Russia, don’t know if it will work again. I applied for the St Petersburg semi in the general draw but then of course couldn’t apply for the semi as part of the EF fans allocation. However it didn’t seem to mind me being a named person on someone else’s application. They may have closed that loophole by now, but it did mean I got to both semi finals.

    I think getting someone to give me a tkt for a semi final in London will be a tad harder than Moscow.
    I got a name change tkt for Kiev CL final in 2018 cos people didn’t or couldn’t pay the flights and digs costs Madrid was totally the opposite.
