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: Ian Fenwick: England emerging for bright future

    I’m someone who is lucky enough work within the FA and the one thing I can say from my experience is that the future of English football is amazingly bright. Of course it’s not enough to always say that the things are going to be good in...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Belo Horizonte a fair setting for England’s new beginnings

    Last time the World Cup came to Brazil, England went to the city of Belo Horizonte to be humiliated; it is the scene of that notorious 1-0 defeat to the United States. Perhaps humiliation is too strong a word this time. After all, England’s 2014 World Cup campaign has been marked by single goal defeats to former world champions, whereas back in 1950 the pride of the old First Division went down to what essentially...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: England can bounce back if they take a few risks

    After the disappointment of the last two games, it’s vital that England take risks against Costa Rica. We don’t need two holding midfielders, Roy Hodgson has to start Adam Lallana over Danny Welbeck and we should switch to three men at the back. There was a clear opportunity against Uruguay and Italy to go to a back three – it would have allowed us to put some of our inventive players into more creative...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Let’s blow our own trumpet for once – come on England!

    I’m used to blowing my own trumpet but not when it comes to predictions – I think we’ll get a result against Uruguay, but I thought we’d beat Italy 4-0! You’ve got to be optimistic as an England fan, sometimes it’s blind optimism but if you do what we do you have to believe. I’ve been following England with the band for 18 years now and it has always been the same. Roy Hodgson...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Uruguay may raise their game away from Fortaleza furnace

    In the build-up to the World Cup a Uruguayan company launched an imaginative advertising campaign. Draped in a sky blue sheet, the colour of Uruguay’s shorts, the ghost of 1950 wandered around Rio frightening the locals – no one ever here needs reminding that the last time the World Cup was held in Brazil, Uruguay walked off with the trophy. So there was an element of Brazilian joy at Uruguay’s humiliating...
