UEFA email advising of tickets

I have just had an email from UEFA with the subject heading:

We Have Tickets for you! 

When I log in it shows me the three England group games with a few different options, only Cat 1 for Croatia, a few different cats for the other 2 games.

I am reluctant to pay for these as I have gone through the FA to be put on the waiting list and don't want it to affect my chances through the FA but my question is...

The Fa must now know how many tickets they've been able to secure if UEFA are already offering me some and when are we likely to hear from the FA, as I would've expected they'd have notified us before UEFA...

    Sounds as if some have taken.up this offer and paid for the tickets and then gone onto purchase flights and accommodation.

    But then they've received an email from UEFA that their tickets have been cancelled and issued with a refund.

    Not ideal.

    Looks like a genuine UEFA mistake.

    We've also provided a further update here: www.thefa.com/.../euro-2020-additional-tickets

    Huge pat on the back to the ESTC staff for helping those fans who were in the mire.

    Great result.

    UEFA really need to pull their finger out to help these fans who have been right royally messed up. This is different from the Croatia debacle where UEFA could hide behind the figleaf that Croatia's stadium ban was announced 3 years previously. No, this time there are no mitigating circumstances.

    So what should UEFA do ? They should ensure that, if any tickets for these matches are submitted to the resale platform later this month, then they are offered to the 200 fans who have been messed up. If no such tickets are submitted, then UEFA should sacrifice some of their 'football family' allocation or their VIP tickets. When people have shelled out hundreds on non-refundable arrangements then shrugging the shoulders won't do !

    I would also like to compliment Team England on their communications regarding Euro 2020. They are being far more open than they used to be, giving us behind the scenes insights and intermediate progress reports. Thanks, guys.

    Mrs went on yesterday and there was the odd single appearing every now and again when she refreshed the page. Most were cat 1s but she managed to get a cat 3 for the second group game which she’s happy with.

    I too would also like to thank the FA for the regular updates and hard work they’ve done to help fans who were in the mire after the original ballot result fiasco. I know they’ve not yet released all the details about how to purchase and what is available I write this knowing I may not be getting the exact tickets I may have got if I’d have applied correctly, but the fact they have secured any tickets at all and they’ve been fantastic in fighting members corners with UEFA is worthy of thanks.

    I’ve been an ESTC member since 2014 and there was a real discord between ESTC members and the FA back then, in the last few years they have been really good by their members, I must say may it long continue.

    I do wonder if the extra tickets they were giving to the FAs got put on by mistake...

    Possible but I understand it was affecting many other games as well, not just England.

    yep, and every other FA have probably had the same issue of people entering the 'wrong' section, and then people who were allocated not paying for those tickets, so there was then some extra tickets that those FAs will want to sell to their own fans.
