EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

England Scotland Ballot

Well, some of us waited until 1pm (UK) and the expected sight of tickets and a place for the access code is nowhere to be seen. What on earth has happened ? Were they all sold before the appointed time ?

    Yeah I wished that they didn’t dangle that carrot in front of me of a chance getting a ticket. Anyway hopefully will be able to get a ticket for the last 16 if we qualify obviously

    Has ETSC or the FA made a statement as to why it went wrong. It does seem a shambles, and one I think as UEFA generated rather than ETSC......They appear to be performing miracles with limited thanks. I'm now stuck in Germany so have no chance of any tickets, but it is what it is. Would have been first tournament since retirement so travel at leisure......I wish

    In some of the previous phases of ticket resales the non take up rate of ticket purchase to these members offered was up to 50%.
    Looks like your trying to make excuses for the FA here Matthew. When was the non take up 50%, it’s been more like 10%, of the approximately 3000 there was about 300 left after the first ballot, after the second about 30 were left, even less for the Scotland game. The FA did say that they were issuing more access codes than tickets but if they had said we’re issuing 513 codes for 131 tickets then at least the lucky ones would have known they still only had a small chance of getting a ticket and unfortunately end up unlucky with the rest of us who didn’t even get into the 513.

    See the second post in this thread, again, below Paddy. 

    Matches had cats approaching 50% not taken up for the higher cats.

    Even the Scots match was well over the 10% non take up you're citing for the cheapest tickets.

    If you need further proof search for when these calcs were also done after the first phase too.

    It was a similar story.

    Nail on the head there Jason. They could have called the first 131 and sorted it directly rather than worrying that they wouldn't sell out. As long as UEFA get their 2500 Covid free hangers on access to europe when no one else can all is well in the world !!
