    As far as I know, yes, at least that's what they've said in the past. Added a bit to my post above but probably made it too gloomy. Sure it will be a lot freer than September and Budapest is almost impossible not to enjoy yourself in.

    I definitely would try if I was you, but I would also imagine that the Budapest group stage matches are some of the toughest tickets to get because of that group being the group of death plus Hungary in it. Also, add to the fact that Hungary fans have not had their chance to get tickets yet (I know there is an allotment for just Hungary, but you may be competing with them for tickets outside that allotment). That is also assuming that Hungary will stay at 100% capacity. I have some doubts that will stay as is if the virus isn't being controlled heavily in mainland Europe by then.

    ^ Well, I've reluctantly got rid of my tickets for the Budapest group games, so there's definitely a chance! I expect there are a fair number of people who have given up just because of the uncertainty.
    About this time, with the tournament two months away, I would have liked to have been checking out the guidebooks to plan where I'd be visiting during my stay. Instead, I was wondering whether ther the UK government would let me out of the country, whether I'd need to get Covid19 tested, whether UEFA would randomly reclaim some of my match tickets, or whether the airline would change my flights (for a third time?!).
    Out of those, UEFA are the worst. I had tickets to those three matches and for me it's a matter of all or nothing - the ten-night trip I've booked isn't worth it for just one or two games (and three is borderline, to be honest, but the 12-host tournament was never designed for the fans). But UEFA insist on telling us that we've got no say - for some reason they have to dictate that if they cancel some of your tickets you're going to have no opportunity to get rid of the others.

    I got fed up with the uncertainty too, though I liked the 12 host concept. An interrail trip with football thrown in. They couldn't have picked a worse time to try it out though.

    When there's a tournament on, it's the worst time to be doing long-distance travelling. OK they're mostly places I'd like to go to, but I wouldn't want to be stuck on a train or a plane when I should be in the bar watching one of the other games on TV. My original schedule included the 2nd round match in Copenhagen, but there's a two-day window to get there without missing anything.

    I thought the twelve host concept was a wonderful idea myself too. I can see the argument that it was not about fans, but I think a lot of fans were going to go to places they have never been before, which has more rewards in my opinion than just going to a football match. However, once the pandemic started, they should have binned the idea for the fans, but that was when they proved (not that we didn't know already) that it was all about the money.

    It's not so simple to change a venue. For example, Romania has built 3 stadiums (Steaua, Rapid, Arcul de Triumf) as training grounds for the teams involved. Romania invested huge money for this tournament, it's obviously that we can't accept to lose a game. Probably other countries as well.

    I kinda disagree with that for a few reasons: 1) I think UEFA cared more about not losing their own money for airfare, hotels, and stuff like that over the venues losing money on infrastructure, 2) that infrastructure could still be used if they punted the twelve-host concept to 2024 or 2028 (not to mention it does still help the clubs in Romania), and 3) I am not sure that doing a lower capacity tournament will cover the cost of those improvements anyway. I guess it could, but Romania still isn't getting the full benefit of having full capacity matches.

    I do agree at this point, it would be impossible to move, but around January, I am not so sure it was that impossible (as long as UEFA was willing to take the risk they may lose money on their lodging/airfare/overhead) when it was pretty obvious what countries would be willing to host the whole thing if asked (they're the same ones that are being reported as being interested in getting Dublin and Munich's matches).

    If they move this match to Manchester, it will be huge, esp if England finishes first in the group. Shit will be wild... and despite me having to rebook from Dublin, it’d be so much fun

    Not sure how wild it will be if there are less than 14,000 in the ground. I am suggesting it is the Etihad rather than Old Trafford.

    I hope it will be Manchester, I live in Edinburgh so it's closer than London. But all other sources say it will be Tottenham stadium so we need to wait for official information.

    Given that I’ve basically been trapped in my apartment for a year, I’ll take 14000. And given the way London is out and about now, it may end up going up. We shall see.

    I selfishly want it to be Manchester cause I’ll be going to the semis (and hopefully the final) at wembley, and I love pigging out at the Indian restaurants in Manchester. Would be a fun 2 day trip.

    Moving the Dublin game to either Manchester or London would be key for us. That all assumes we don't lose our tickets though.

    I've heard both the Etihad and Tottenham in the past 24 hours for the Dublin games. While the group games should be easy enough to hold on to I imagine we'd need to be very very lucky to get the Rof16. Most were already in English hands. No problem of course if England/Scotland don't win the group.

    Anecdotal I know but almost everyone I know with tickets living here took the refund in January. We have a big Polish community here and many will travel to the UK but Sweden v Slovakia was always going to be a hard sell.

    I'm hoping for a much larger capacity by June 30th.

    I'm going to wait and see what tickets I get before making plans but the Rof16 originally meant for Dublin is one I really want to see.

    How reputable is Palmeri?

    Would be very interesting to see Turkey emerge so late in the day.

    Surely not likely as they were never in the mix in the first place and have the worst levels of Covid they have had at present. the way things are going they will be lucky to keep the Champions League final.

    Does anyone have a strong opinion/feeling of how English restrictions and quarantine laws will ease towards the end of the tournament? For example semifinals and final (6, 7, 11 July). I can see that Stage three (by 17 May) and Stage four (by 21 June) of the roadmap suggest that most other restrictions will heavily decrease, but nothing in regard to quarantine.

    The current law (10 days self isolation, tests on day 2 and 8) was in place from Feb 15th 2021. Last summer UK self isolation laws were lifted from 10th July 2020 coming from many places. Anyone think there's a decent enough chance to hope for something similar this summer?

    At a time when many countries are going through their worst covid numbers the UK is currently looking pretty healthy and this is entirely down to the really strict rules of lockdown and advanced vaccinations. The fact there are still many basic things we can't do for another 5 weeks is almost on the verge of over caution so I can't help feeling that even in the summer they are not going to want to go too easy on foreign visitors and perhaps throw all this away. They might ease it a bit but I can still see quarantine being very likely and personally doubt being vaccinated will not be good enough to avoid this. Sorry to be negative but the government will be erring very much on the side of caution till there is more global control.

    Think your best chance is country specific corridors, general international travel will be the last restriction to go. Infections where I live are nearly at zero, they won't want to blow that with imported variants. If the US say gets to a similar stage with most people vaccinated they might get an exception.
