UEFA EURO 2020

Free matchday travel

Not sure if this has been posted before but there is free matchday travel for ticket holders in all host cities which might save us a few quid

    How long before people start kicking off that they have to use their phone to travel for free, rather than getting a paper ticket?

    So the free travel card is activated with your mobile ticket?

    Not the same app as the match tickets. The travel card will be downloaded to the 'UEFA Euro 2020' app. This app already exists : you can get it from the iPhone store or Google Play. It's mainly general fan information and a load of froth.

    People with paper tickets will be able to get a travel card for free match day travel. But I imagine that you will have to produce your paper ticket at some sort of transport hub in order to get your travel card. So, Travel Club members who don't have a smart phone will have to pay a fare to go to the stadium in order to collect their match ticket, then go somewhere else to collect the travel card. It rather defeats the object of having free travel.

    The link above says even those with paper match tickets will still only get free travel using the Euro 2020 app

    Fans who receive paper tickets will also use the UEFA EURO 2020 app to find out how to get their free matchday travelcard.

    I interpreted that to mean that information on how to get the travelcard would be in the app, but the travelcard itself would be a physical card. If so, the information will also be on the website so members without a smart phone will be able to find out what to do.

    There are 2 bullets in that link i think you need to take note of:

    The UEFA EURO 2020 app is also where you will see exactly which services and lines you’ll be able to travel on in London

    and

    The travelcard works slightly differently in each city. Some cover the entire public network, some only allow travel on specific routes. Remember to check which lines, zones and services it’s valid for before you travel. All the details will be available on the UEFA EURO 2020 app.


    I'll be amazed it it's anything more than a free zones 1 to 6 travelcard.

    As it's based on phone touch in/out, they might also be able to restrict it to just the stations on lines that serve Wembley Park / Stadium / Central, i.e. Metropolitan, jubilee and bakerloo lines, and maybe Chiltern and London Overground.

    Had started to look at my train trip from the Midlands. It's a great idea, but guess it will be underground lines only and not as far north as Watford?

    Good news however as someone travelling by train direct from Solihull to Wembley Stadium station, it's unlikely to benefit me personally.

    I am guessing this will be in London only. Very much doubt they will make it free on trains also (Would be gutted as have already got my train tickets from Birmingham booked)

    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...
