Still a fantastic experience. Went to euro 2016 in France with tickets for England Iceland in Nice. After that, will always prefer the no ticket option.

Red Exile Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 One thought for those who missed out - in 2016 we got an email advising of a sale of 'restricted view' tickets for some of the matches. We got 4 for England v Wales - found ourselves in the very front row of the VIP families and friends enclosure. More or less on the pitch. Tiny rail blocking a bit of the view. Celebrated with the players when England got the winner!...so there is hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Got all the London games except for the final. Those were all I applied for. Friend got the Dublin ones, sister seems to have a bizarre mix of Rome, London and Baku matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Got nothing despite applying for loads. Those who have managed to get multiple games can count themselves very lucky!

Lew-T Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Little bit too close to Glastonbury for me. Don’t want to miss the 50th anniversary! That’s if I’m successful with tickets mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06stanleyj Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Got 2 tickets for the opening group A game in Rome on Friday 12th June, told my son who I thought would be over the moon but didn't get the reply I thought I would, the reply was "oh, not sure about that, dont know who its gonna be". Have to pay for them by 18th Aug so he doesn't have long to decide or I might have to take the wife instead !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hosting structure is a bit confusing, anyone know how it all works? Apparently host nations will play at least 2 games at home. Cheers Wolf I’ve got tickets for a Group D game at Wembley. Friday 19 June game, so do I have a 2 in 3 chance of watching England? Booked a hotel already. £45 with parking! Not expecting the Ritz, but walking distance to the stadium and somewhere to pass out after a night out in the big smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I got none after applying for all the Wembley games in cheapest category. in better news my mate landed 4 tickets for the final so I have shotgunned one of those. for those with Wembley group tickets, I’ve got a feeling if Scots don’t qualify then England will prob play all 3 there, not just a minimum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayOutWest Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 We had a buying group from all over. 5 or 6 of us in Canada, lads from Australia and home. Most of us were unsuccessful. But we had lads hit 5 games on one app. Most got games but submitted multiple apps. Luck of the draw. We have tix all over the shop. Missus gave me a week away... So last game and rd16 in Budapest then over to Dublin for rnd 16. Short and Sweet but 3 games in week I will take everyday of every week.

Stevo Budapest is a beautiful city and also has great nightlife, went a couple of years ago. Not sure what the footy stadium is like/how far from the centre, but you will have a cracking time I’m sure. Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo I should be over for the R16 game: England if they win their group. We are overdue a reunion: last time was R16 in Nice, that went well.

bcfcshorey Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 16 hours ago, Keith Welch said: I applied for way too many, hedging my bets, not realising you had to buy them all or none if you were successful... I ended up being successful on all of them. Now wondering whether to buy them and risk losing a good amount of money on them. They will probably have a resale scheme nearer the time like the olympics. So if you've got the money, I'd buy them all and then put up the ones you don't want for resale.

Coelho Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 same as most people, applied for a boat load. got none, gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Applied for all of the London games and one game in Glasgow. Typically ended up with the game in Scotland so will head up to that! The ballot was very kind to me in 2016 and I ended up with final tickets so I shouldn't be too greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just found out my mate got all three Group D games at Wembley, happy days. As @internetjef says, if Scotland don't qualify, they'll all be England games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So I applied for multiple games but got nothing, while other people got tickets for more than one match?! Given the competition is so oversubscribed, why didn't they make it one match per person?! Would have been much fairer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandsroad Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can’t believe it really however I got 4 tickets to all the Group D games at Wembley and 4 for the last 16 also at Wembley in total cost €1400. Wife wasn’t happy but never mind as the kids are! 19 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: So I applied for multiple games but got nothing, while other people got tickets for more than one match?!

Wife wasn’t happy but never mind as the kids are! Never mind I know you’re looking for a bite here but seriously WTF? How are some people getting tickets for so many games and others ending up with nothing? Statically the odds of getting multiple games should be tiny given the number of applicants.

I’m suspicious of the process now. It'll be no consolation but I share your surprise at the response to your failure to get any tickets. Hard to understand what is going through someone's mind when they come on here to flaunt their good fortune and mock others! I'm not sure that the system is flawed - as I posted further up the thread our family applied for 6 batches of four tickets to four different matches and one of us got tickets for two of them...the rest nothing. The problem, I think, is to have more or less guaranteed that every group match is a home match for the home team - so every Wembley group match is likely to feature England, Amsterdam & Holland, Italy in Rome...which makes the demand for those tickets enormous. At previous tournaments its been pretty easy to get tickets to group matches featuring unfancied teams with no local connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that some matches, particularly those at Wembley, will be vastly more popular than others. But I’m seeing examples here and on twitter of people getting tickets for multiple Wembley games. Clearly those games will all be oversubscribed. It seems entirely obvious to me that the process should distribute tickets as evenly as possible between applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they must have done it game by game...rather than individual by individual. In which case the same person could get lucky in every single draw and others in none. Which is a simpler way to organise it I expect, but will throw up extreme cases. Olympic tickets were the same - leaving you with venues populated by people who knew nothing about a sport whilst dedicated followers were locked out. In our group one person was lucky and the rest of us were left logging in to discover our disappointment. We're going to have to have a discussion about how we distribute the tickets we have!
