EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Applying for tickets

Can some of the seasoned fans clear something up for me .

If I apply for all games, is it all or nothing ?

Or should I just apply for group games as I will have more chance  . I only have 2 caps so I realise I will be very lucky to get any but finger crossed .

One more thing, will caps from this campaign carry over to the World Cup ?

Thanks

Bryan

    In this scenario you have outlined, assuming mid 20 cappers will miss out on Cat 3 tickets, will you (due to cap differentials) get Cat 3 and the other members on your application (mid 20 cappers) get Cat 2? Or where you have said you'd accept cat 2 tickets, even though you personally would ordinally qualify for Cat 3, does this mean you would all move to Cat 2?

    Normally ALL the group get moved up or down as one.

    I thought each application was treated separately, so even if one person in the group has enough caps for cat 3, they'll get cat 3, where as the rest will get cat 2 if they dont have enough caps?

    Groups are attempted to be kept together in the same ticket cat. This means less work for the ESTC team and fundamentally it's why people apply as groups! Also remember that the acceptance of different ticket cats is per application not per member.

    Hence the FA advice for people on similar amount of caps to apply together and be flexible with ticket cats.

    Inflexibility could mean members of your group miss out completely.

    In reply to Andrew McCarthy:

    Everyone will be considered individually when it comes to deciding whether or not they get a ticket. Thus, someone in the 70% will get a ticket and someone not in the 70% will be in the ballot.

    However, I agree with Matthew. For any particular match, all of the people on the application must apply for the same category of ticket. It therefore follows that, once it has been decided which members in an application have been successful, they will all get the same category of ticket. If you apply with low cappers and you are all successful, it could mean that you might be moved up to category 2 even though, on your own, you have enough caps to qualify for category 3.

    Thanks. Do you know if this principle still applies when separate groups link applications? I.e. if both groups are successful, do they move up or down as one (regardless of caps)? Or do the groups get treated separately?

    The linking up of different groups is only done AFTER the group has been allocated tickets.

    Agreed. It is ESTC who allocate ticket categories to members. They will do this in January in accordance with the Travel Club rules and the principle that high cappers get first preference for ticket category. I doubt whether ESTC will even know which applications have been linked. So they will not take account of linking when they decide what category of tickets to award for a particular application.

    It is UEFA who allocate actual seats and who take account of any linking of applications by Group ID. They will do this probably in May when tickets start to be issued. If two linked applications have been awarded tickets in different categories then the linking will have no effect and will be ignored.
