Euro 2008 tickets

[Prawn Sandwich]

hi , isnt that a bit harsh ? , what about genuine "newbies" who have tickets to swap ??
I realise it may seem harsh but if you can tell me a way to distinguish between a "genuine" newbie and a tout then I'm all ears

Any of FMT tix charged yet? Anyone got an e-mail from organizers with instructions, as FAQ on the site promises?

How to distinguish a "genuine" member and a tout? Do you have "special" methods? How to become a member?

3) Pair for #22 (FRA-ITA)
4) 1 ticket for #24 (RUS-SWE)

I HAVE these tickets to SWAP:

2) Pair for #16 (GRE-RUS)
3) 1 ticket for each #25 (QF), #26 (QF) and #30 (SF).

Mr.Prawn,

can you open a special topic for ticket swap? Here I want to read about news and technical details about getting tickets and not to search among a lot of swaping offers. Not that I have anything against it, but I think you should create a topic only for swapping..

[Prawn Sandwich]

A good idea but I don't think the traffic on this thread justifies that yet. I'll keep an eye on it and if it becomes too busy then I'll implement the change you suggest.

Does anyone know what was the amount of tickets sold in the first (and only) sales phase?

All together there'll be 1.050.000 tickets available:

33% of that amount (346.500) will be sold by uefa.com site,
38% (399.000) go to national FAs,
14% (147.000) to sponsors and
15% (157.500) to Vip guests, Uefa personnel, city hosts, etc..

There must be somewhere info on how many tickets (from those 33%) have been sold up to date...:confused:

In total a third of the available finals tickets will be allocated by the lottery. All applicants will be notified before the end of April whether they were successful or not.

There are no additional sale phases!!!

Only possibility to get tickets in the future will be via the dedicated national associations.

In Germany the sale will start i mid of Jan (if I'm rigt... might be later)

Same for Switzerland and so on and so on

No official sale phase any more.
(thats what I've been told)

What a pity that they still haven't published any explanation concerning so called waiting list they used to allocate some tickets few weeks ago...

And BTW, try to book any room Klagenfurt during EURO games. This is ridiculus to organise tournament in such a small city with such a small stadium.
