EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Applying for tickets

Can some of the seasoned fans clear something up for me .

If I apply for all games, is it all or nothing ?

Or should I just apply for group games as I will have more chance  . I only have 2 caps so I realise I will be very lucky to get any but finger crossed .

One more thing, will caps from this campaign carry over to the World Cup ?

Thanks

Bryan

    In this scenario you have outlined, assuming mid 20 cappers will miss out on Cat 3 tickets, will you (due to cap differentials) get Cat 3 and the other members on your application (mid 20 cappers) get Cat 2? Or where you have said you'd accept cat 2 tickets, even though you personally would ordinally qualify for Cat 3, does this mean you would all move to Cat 2?

    Normally ALL the group get moved up or down as one.

    I thought each application was treated separately, so even if one person in the group has enough caps for cat 3, they'll get cat 3, where as the rest will get cat 2 if they dont have enough caps?

    Groups are attempted to be kept together in the same ticket cat. This means less work for the ESTC team and fundamentally it's why people apply as groups! Also remember that the acceptance of different ticket cats is per application not per member.

    Hence the FA advice for people on similar amount of caps to apply together and be flexible with ticket cats.

    Inflexibility could mean members of your group miss out completely.

    In reply to Andrew McCarthy:

    Everyone will be considered individually when it comes to deciding whether or not they get a ticket. Thus, someone in the 70% will get a ticket and someone not in the 70% will be in the ballot.

    However, I agree with Matthew. For any particular match, all of the people on the application must apply for the same category of ticket. It therefore follows that, once it has been decided which members in an application have been successful, they will all get the same category of ticket. If you apply with low cappers and you are all successful, it could mean that you might be moved up to category 2 even though, on your own, you have enough caps to qualify for category 3.

    Thanks. Do you know if this principle still applies when separate groups link applications? I.e. if both groups are successful, do they move up or down as one (regardless of caps)? Or do the groups get treated separately?

    The linking up of different groups is only done AFTER the group has been allocated tickets.

    Agreed. It is ESTC who allocate ticket categories to members. They will do this in January in accordance with the Travel Club rules and the principle that high cappers get first preference for ticket category. I doubt whether ESTC will even know which applications have been linked. So they will not take account of linking when they decide what category of tickets to award for a particular application.

    It is UEFA who allocate actual seats and who take account of any linking of applications by Group ID. They will do this probably in May when tickets start to be issued. If two linked applications have been awarded tickets in different categories then the linking will have no effect and will be ignored.

    blogs: Tim Vickery: A World Cup in every sense

    Two World Cup Finals are being replayed in this week’s 2014 semi finals. The Germans seek revenge for their 2-0 defeat in 2002 when they meet Brazil – amazingly only the second time these giants have ever met in the tournament. And Holland were the closest – so far – a European team has ever come to winning the World Cup in South America when they hit the post with almost the last kick of normal...

    blogs: Sue Smith: England can bounce back

    There’s no doubt England can bounce back – the women’s team did it after the 2007 World Cup by going all the way in Euro 2009. Although we lost against Germany in the final of those Euros, there was a sense of achievement and progress...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Cool-hand Luke can handle price-tag

    Having a hefty price tag can weight heavy on your shoulders – it certainly did for me when I moved back to Chelsea in 1997 for £5.5m. At the time I was the most expensive English defender and there was a lot of pressure that came with that. I found it quite hard and Luke Shaw now finds himself in a similar position after moving to Manchester United for £30m. It does make you look at things differently...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: It’s time to give England’s players a break

    There’s no doubt England’s players will be disappointed with the way things panned out in Brazil, but they deserve a break after the mentally exhausting season they have all had. They’ll feel like they are coming home prematurely because going into these tournaments you always think that you’re good enough to progress, so to lose their first two games and be out of the World Cup this early will...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Fresh faces give us cause for hope

    In my years following England I’ve seen some great players come and go – and teams rise and fall. I can say with pride that I saw every game David Beckham played for England and I have also been privileged enough to have seen all of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard’s appearances. Watching the Costa Rica match it was hard to think that it might be both of their final appearances. I remember Gerrard...
