At some point the red bar changes from "Your remaining time is displayed below. Once elapsed, you can enter the ticketing portal." to an actual countdown clock: "Your request will be processed in 5 min and 25 sec."
And just before others are asking: I didn't receive an e-mail, just went over the normal website to the portal. I also just applied for tix in the 1st round in August, partially successful
I would be slightly sceptical there ever were any. Good marketing ploy to get people on the site ready to buy.
My red bar is aaalmost halfway through, let's say 55-60% left. Fingers crossed that there will be tix left for the England - Croatia game hence I was one of the unlucky ones that managed to get screwed by UEFA's technicsl error last week where I managed to get my hands on two tickets only to recieve an email 4 hours later saying I in fact didn't get the tickets... hah.
I managed to get tickets for England-Croatia (CAT2) and England-Czech (CAT3). Got in after 20 minutes. CAT3 for England Croatia were gone. Same for England-Czech by the time I checked out. This sale is open to all (I never received any email after the ballots). I managed to join the queue at 13:51.
After the demand from Coutry sales, and two sets of Neutral sales how can they still have cats 2 and 3 still for England games?
I wonder if they've increased the number of Cat 3 tickets as a result of (lack of) demand? Wouldn't normally expect that to happen this early though.
Ok, so my browser on my phone just updated to this; "Your request will be processed in 10 min and 35 sec." Uhhhhh...
