EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Quarter Final - Rome vs St Petersburg

Given that the allocation for Rome is 7000, and the allocation for St Petersburg is 5000, how will the FA go about allocating conditional tickets for this game?

Will 2000 members receive a ticket conditional on the game being in Rome, and will this be outlined to them when we receive our ticket results? Surely this method has implications for which category people will receive, somebody maybe allocated a ticket to both venues, but only have enough caps for a cat 3 ticket if in Rome, but not if its St Petersburg. So how will UEFA know which category to charge them for this game, when the payment is due in January?

    This has not been explained. But I think what will happen is that the 70%/20%/10% allocation which will be carried out in January will only distribute 5000 tickets. The other 2000 tickets for the Rome fixture will be made available only after we have won the group and qualified for the Rome pathway : possibly only after we have won in Dublin so that the tickets are unconditional.

    If so, it is not obvious whether :-
    (a) the tickets will be offered to ESTC members via the FA using the caps system, or
    (b) it will be a first come, first served scramble on the UEFA website.

    I think (b) is more likely because there just won't be time for (a).

    I agree with your view, as its probably the only way they can feasibly do this. I do think its slightly unfair on those who get tickets for this in the Jan sale, for example if they have to pay Cat 1 like i may have to, and then later on nearer the game they would have had the option of buying a cat 2 or 3 ticket.

    I also emailed the Travel Club asking this q , and their reply was "Only 5000 tickets will be allocated now. It is likely that we will only be able to offer the additional 2000 tickets, should we qualify, a few days before the match. The process for this is still to be confirmed so please check the website for further updates. "

    I remember having to buy a R16 after the group game in France but I can't recall if it was ESTC only - and ironically sat with the Iceland Fans

    Yes. See here

    Except the figures in the latest FA bulletin only add up to 4806.

    For Germany 06, tickets were offered to certain cap levels. These were ordered by phone. I dare say they will just be sent to your app nowadays.

    I think its probably unlikely the FA would be able to shift a further 2000 tickets at only about 4 days notice

    I dont think there will be many fans who dont get tickets for the 1/4 final if they want them in this current sale, the fact we might end up in St Petersburg probably puts alot of people off

    Most people I know already have flights booked from Dublin to Rome so would certainly purchase the tickets.

    blogs: Tim Vickery: A World Cup in every sense

    Two World Cup Finals are being replayed in this week’s 2014 semi finals. The Germans seek revenge for their 2-0 defeat in 2002 when they meet Brazil – amazingly only the second time these giants have ever met in the tournament. And Holland were the closest – so far – a European team has ever come to winning the World Cup in South America when they hit the post with almost the last kick of normal...

    blogs: Sue Smith: England can bounce back

    There’s no doubt England can bounce back – the women’s team did it after the 2007 World Cup by going all the way in Euro 2009. Although we lost against Germany in the final of those Euros, there was a sense of achievement and progress...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Cool-hand Luke can handle price-tag

    Having a hefty price tag can weight heavy on your shoulders – it certainly did for me when I moved back to Chelsea in 1997 for £5.5m. At the time I was the most expensive English defender and there was a lot of pressure that came with that. I found it quite hard and Luke Shaw now finds himself in a similar position after moving to Manchester United for £30m. It does make you look at things differently...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: It’s time to give England’s players a break

    There’s no doubt England’s players will be disappointed with the way things panned out in Brazil, but they deserve a break after the mentally exhausting season they have all had. They’ll feel like they are coming home prematurely because going into these tournaments you always think that you’re good enough to progress, so to lose their first two games and be out of the World Cup this early will...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Fresh faces give us cause for hope

    In my years following England I’ve seen some great players come and go – and teams rise and fall. I can say with pride that I saw every game David Beckham played for England and I have also been privileged enough to have seen all of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard’s appearances. Watching the Costa Rica match it was hard to think that it might be both of their final appearances. I remember Gerrard...
