UEFA - Euro 2024 in Germany * Ticket discussion only *

After the payment deadline (January 30), I assume that some will receive offers for tickets that weren’t paid for.

For those who received offers after the first round, how long did UEFA give you to act on the offer ? 24 hours ? If the offer is yours for a certain amount of time (rather than first come first serve), then I/we won’t need to stress with checking our accounts every hour.

 

Looking for 4 tickets to Portugal v Czech Republic (FF/Cat 3), can offer RO16 Winner group C v 3rd D/E/F 4 tickets.

 

In the first ballot (ballot payment deadline had been extended to Nov 20) the tickets appeared for sale in account at https://euro2024-sales.tickets.uefa.com/account/advantages on November 23rd with an email coming an hour after they were initially available. The deadline to buy them was approximately 24 hours, November 24th at 16:00. You were offered a selection of matches that you'd previously applied for with categories 1, 2, 3 available and after some time CAT3 sold out of availability and so on. Strangely they only ever offered about a third of all the matches to people and never did any further rounds of offers.

 

Thanks for that. So it sounds like that you are competing with others at that time for tickets offered for resale ? In essence, there is a first come first serve basis for the tickets you are offered.

 

So scrolled through socials, looked on here and it appears the only person i've seen successful on anything below Cat 2 was on here! Fair play to them!.

So would align with my disappointment regarding not getting any.

At least i've got the comfort blanket of all England games at the lowest category. Just to find me some Switzerland/Austria tickets in the FCFS.

 

Quick question if you don't mind me asking, what would be the possible quarterfinal match ups for 45 (stuttgart) & 46 (Hamburg)?

 

For people who used the previous resale platform at the world cup, how *feasible* was it to get 2 tickets together at a time? I'm used to the Arsenal one where that is practically impossible...hoping the nature of the ticket sales means that will be different for this resale platform.

 

45 is 1A/2C vs 1B/3ADEF
46 is 1F/3ABC vs 2D/2E

 

Depends on the popularity of the game to be honest.
Some games won't sell out, whilst others will be practically like gold dust.

 

Impossible to call when there's 3rd place sides involved, but looking at the bracket could be looking at something like

Germany Vs. Spain (Stuttgart)
Portugal Vs. Netherlands (Hamburg)

But wouldn't even dare base it on predictions given previous tournaments and shocks which occur.

 

agree. is way too early to predict anything

 

I agree and thanks for sharing this. Good to know what the possibilities are

 

It’s very feasible. For the FIFA World Cup, in the period prior to seats being allocated to ticket holders, you were able to select the number of tickets from a dropdown list for each category for each match, so if the dropdown list showed 2 or more, you’d be able to purchase seats together.
After seats had been allocated, you were able to see the exact seat numbers on a list, which were in category/section/row/seat order to allow selection of seats together (you just had to be quick to select consecutive seats in the list and add to cart).
It was not as difficult as the Arsenal tx, where usually only one seat is available at a time, and even when there are multiple tickets available at once, they are rarely together.
One major difference, which made it easier to purchase WC resale tickets compared to Arsenal, is that there were 2 or 3 periods each day when resale tickets were released en masse, and the pattern of release became somewhat predictable, meaning if you were logged on and ready to purchase at the time of release you had a good chance to purchase tickets to most games, whereas Arsenal display tickets as soon as they are submitted for resale. Those with experience for prior Euro tournaments may be able to comment further on the release of tickets on the resale portal.

 

Thought it might be helpful for people if I repost the link for the ticket swap thread:

(I also just posted there so I admit it’s not purely altruistic … )

 

Does anyone have any idea when tickets will be distributed to the UEFA app? All I can find is UEFA saying 'closer to the tournament'

 

General question - QF tickets for example and group stages won't drop at the same time? So if I want to swap group stages + money, for example, for QF ticket, I will have to send first my tickets and wait a few days for the seller to send his QF tickets? If so it makes it nearly impossible to swap like that.

 

For the FIFA World Cup they were all at the same time, roughly 4 weeks before the tournament began. Not sure if UEFA do it differently.

 

Looking to swap x3 Cat1 Portugal v Playoff C 26 June for x4 Cat2 Italy v Spain preferably but x3 Cat1 would also work.

 

Well my Finals ticket was unsuccessful. That will end my dream of going to a EuroCup. Good luck guys and enjoy it out there.

 

Thanks for the great information.
Are we thinking that the FCFS emails will be sent on a mid-week day only?
Friday 2 February appears too early, so Monday 5 Feb?
I assume the good people in the Zurich office are not going to work weekends...

 

So were all of mine - got QF and SF for Englands route but no final.
Still time yet tho don’t give up

 

I have sent you a Personal Notification (PN). Awaiting your reply .

 

I have a feeling there have been much more fans first tickets than category three tickets sold in this sales phase

we sent out huge number of applications for knockout stage games, plus a couple of group games we were missing as well, half in category three and half in category four with checkbox for higher category checked, nearly all of successful games came back as fans first tickets

all as expected with very low success quote

 

From our 4 applications (for between 4 and 6 tickets in each application) we got one fans first ticket.

In the first lottery we made 5 applications each for 3 tickets at 7 games and we got no offers. 2 of us did get invites to the FCFS sales and only had access to tickets in Category 3 (EURO60) and above even though we mostly applied for Fans First tickets.

 

Actually crazy the amount i'm seeing of this. I on purposely went for the expensive tickets thinking that id' have MORE chance, not less! Then again, it's all conjecture isn't it, we don't know the numbers.

Gotta say, the resale platform opening in March feels really counterintuitive. A 3 month gap between the second ballot and being legally allowed to sell your ticket is just perfect for the touts who will buy tickets off of people who either a) don't know about resale platform b) aren't willing to wait to get their money back.
