[felipe23]

The tickets are on the way to Mexico, I think the package went to Holland and back to Vienna and then they noticed and sent them to Mexico
thank you all for your time and help

Hi

I applied to FMT option of Turkey in march and won the lottery. I received a letter to pay it via bank transfer and did it on time. However afterwards it didn't confirm my payment on the uefa website just saying "you have no payments waiting for this application". I assumed that is the confirmation.

I started to receive newsletters, and finally an email telling me the tickets will be dispatched soon so check my address. I checked it , it was correct.

I haven't still received my tickets, I am in Belgium. Today I checked my existing accounts page, it says there are 6 games allocated to me, 3 as a voucher and 3 as a group match tickets. However above them there are dates as 18th of April, 22nd of April etc. and ticket collection points finally cash on the left. Status is empty and a warning on top as "We're sorry, but your booking's ticket tracking status has not been updated yet. Please try again later."

I don't get this. Are they going to send my tickets or not? Did anybody from Belgium received their tickets? They announced they will send an email as they dispatch the tickets. Has anybody received such an email?

Whom should I contact to? Does DHL answers queries ? ( I even send an email to UEFA and haven't received an answer)

Thanks for the help , I really need it!

Don't worry! I've just received my tickets and look what status do I have on my application:

Saturday, 19 April 2008 (15:06) - Ticket Collection Point

It makes no sense. But tracking works perfect on DHL website. So what I suggest is to call to your local DHL infoline and they should tell you if anything is coming for you or not.

[tiki12]

offff!!! I called DHL, they said they only received 122 tickets and none of them carries my Customer Number.

I am trying to contact UEFA and it is now 21 minutes still "Our agents are busy please hold the line"

I did what ever they say, and they didn't dispatch my tickets!

igggghhhhh!!!!

[felipe23]

Im still waiting for my tickets and the :
Saturday, 6 May 2008 (15:06) - Ticket Collection Point

imagine how long will it take ???
I have friends the tickets just arrived and the date of the collection point was april 16!! I mean their tickets arrived today
Im kind of worried aswell for mine, and nobody answers at UEFA and they wont answer, imagine how many calls they have daily and emails ?
but Im pretty sure, your tickets and my tickets will arrive soon, we dont have to worry
thank you

Now they changed it again.
Tuesday, 22 April 2008 (11:24) - Ticket Portal

it is now ticket portal. At least that confusing ticket collection point went away. However status is empty and they replied my email.

it is simply teaching me how to log in to the system. I am now sure they dont read emails. I don't know what to do after this point. Why they don't sent the tickets right away. Why do they still building the site. Is this thing to build at the last minute.

ohh btw they added you can track your ticket order here bar.

But as usual if I click on it, it says no shipment found error from DHL.

[tiki12]

Ok, i got my tickets as of now.

Yesterday night I received an email mentioning they dispatched the tickets. (however it was a generic one) . My status is still empty and tracking link says No record found.

However I got my tickets.

Now I need to arrange my trip based on the QF, SF and F possibilities.

Thanks for the help

(for the info my frist ticket time was 18th of April and the last one was 22nd of April)

It is interesting to know how difficult always is to have tickets for this kind of tournaments
:-S

For Sweden-Greece you'll get them on the day for face value or very nearly. The only people buying tickets at 500 a pop are those who've never been to tournaments before. I've been to seven and if you pick the right games (i.e. not involving Germany or a massive game such as Holland-France) you'll be OK. Wait until an hour before kick off before even trying to buy - most sellers will be locals who've bought an extra ticket hoping to make a killing. They won't turn up until an hour before. When they discover that all of their neighbours have done the same thing they'll just want to off load and get in the stadium/go home (as appropriate). The price may stay highish most of the day (although 500 for this game is absolutely ridiculous) so hold your nerve. I'm going too - and I don't have a ticket for this game either.

Good luck

Where are people buying tickets for 500? Ebay?

Yes, but only if you're lucky.

Hi Guys,

Many of you may remember me from 2006. I swapped several tickets.

I have just been awarded the following tickets by Adidas;

4x Cat 1 tickets for;

Portugal v Turkey
Spain v Russia
Italy v Romania

I am looking for some games later in the event and am currently trying to arrange flights.

Please let me know if you have any interest.

Regards,

Marc

Did UEFA announce that stupid rule that FIFA tried to impose during the World Cup? The one of people having to show their passport at the gate and make sure it matches the name on the ticket? I haven't seen that anywhere.
I hope not, I bought my tickets on ebay.

[Hrvat]

I believe that rule is on, but in Germany that wasn't the case in practice and I believe it will be the same in Austria/Switzerland ;)

[Crop Circles Maria]

I hope not because 2 of my tickets have women's names.
Is that rule anywhere in writing?
How realistic is it to check everyone's names at the gates?

[felipe23]

The opening match they checked 1 in 10
the rest of the games nobody checked anything
I also had women names on it and nodoby cared
dont worry

The tickets only have the purchaser's name on. So I bought 4 tickets to one game and all have my name on. Just say the person that bought the tickets has another one and they are already in the ground.

I am buying tickets on Ebay having been shut down in the lottery. I know from previous tournaments that sections in different categories are assigned to the fans of each team with "neutral" sections as well. Does anybody know how to tell from the color coding on the tickets which type of section you are in? I am particularly interested in the Romania-France game but would generally like to know how to tell. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
