EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

general ballot instead of travel club ballot

has anyone else been told they are in general ballot instead of travel club ballot?

I have, despite doing everything correctly and having a copy of my application which shows my membership number. 

did it exactly the same way as my mate who has got tickets.

UEFA said isn't their fault.

I cant get in contact with ESTC.

    Robert, I'm in the exactly same situation. I really do not understand why there was even a general ballot, I thought the December window was for team specific only, so why would anyone without ESTC membership apply or be allowed to do so?!

    I’m baffled. I’m first to hold my hands up to a mistake but the process was unclear and the fact that I was acting on e-mails from the travel club providing an access code didn’t even prompt me to consider I was going wrong.
    Now that I’ve failed in the ballot today... the only option is praying the FA secure extra tickets. Let’s live in hope

    Yep also baffled how this has happened too. Never done this before and like you said i failed in the ballot today. I think the FA will be trying there hardest to be fair. Could be the first tournament ive missed since Japan and half the games are an hour and half away :-) ! Typical!

    I was unsuccessful in the general ballot to so it's a waiting game. In all honesty, with 44 caps I'm pretty confident of being offered tickets, it's the price that worries me.

    I’m sure that I’m not the first person to make a genuine mistake in life Daniel. Looks like the £75 paid for my travel club membership is worth it because of the support I have received from the ESTC.

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Gold-standard stadiums but the infrastructure looks green around the gills

    Some may say that Brazil’s new 2014 stadiums have turned out to be ‘anywhere arenas,’ robbed of their local identity. It is an understandable point of view. A year on from its re-inauguration, I still can’t make my mind up about...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Shaw and Baines and the art of being comfortably No3

    I’m old enough to have experienced the first-team shirt numbers as 1-11, and No3 was always the left-back. To receive that shirt at World Cup 98 was very special. There have been some greats and you can’t dwell too much on the significance...

    blogs: Mark Wright: England at the World Cup is an amazing, powerful time

    I've got so many memories of watching England - I don't know where to start! But I can always remember when the World Cup was on in 1998 and Michael Owen first played. I had the videotape of the tournament back then and used to watch it religiously...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: The marvels and the madness of the Brazil I know

    Back in 1969, Charlie Croker and his team pulled off the Italian job, sneaking $4 million through a traffic jam. Forty five years later, well into their retirement, Charlie and the boys may well want to cross the Atlantic to follow England’s World...
