Euro 2020 tickets REFUNDS etc

They check surname and DoB as well.  They also record your IP address. Although as you say these can easily be overcome.  

I am also surprised they didn't ask for CC details.   

I created an application with my fathers name, address and Passport number. He has the same name as me and he said I can use his CC if successful. I wouldn't fancy my chances through the FAI as I haven't been at an away game since 2016 but I have a season ticket since they began.

If we qualify then I'll apply through the FAI for Bilbao under my own existing account and try to re-sell on the Portal for the tickets I don't need.

Regulations are here

Seeding is done based on results in qualifying.  Spain as of now are likely to be a top seed and if we don't make it then will have 3 home games in Bilbao.

France had poor enough demand for a home final of Euro2016 so they would hardly sell their allocation for Dublin.  Good shout for 2nd seeds so could end up in Dublin and would be attractive for neutrals.  Germany can only come for the R0f16 and that game will sell to the England fans.  

It is very early to tell but the likely 4th seed is us, NI, Wales, Slovakia, Bosnia or Austria.  Wales and NI would sellout the Aviva but the others wouldn't come close.  From a football perspective the likes of Portugal, Turkey or Croatia would be attractive visitors to Dublin but they'd struggle to sell their allocation and certainly wouldn't have too much excess demand.

Ukraine v Slovakia in Dublin anyone?  Very few countries can match our numbers travelling to tournaments.  However we don't tend to go to other games as neutrals.  Croatia v Turkey in Paris the day before the Sweden game was a good example.  Great match up yet I couldn't offload a spare ticket at FV (or even slightly less) on here or on Social media.  We had very few fans at the Group A games in Poland.  I do go as a neutral and enjoy it but understand why many don't.  

Would many on here pay 185 euros to watch even France v Croatia in a group game in Dublin?  Would you oay it for Ukraine v Slovakia?  However if we are in it the opposition doesn't matter.  OK we might all want the cheaper tickets but we'd grab any chance we could get to go.  

Now add in all four games are on working days possibly during working hours and this reduces demand.  

   

I’ll always enjoy the sceptical.

I plan on attendign all four games in Dublin unless we are playing elsewhere.  I agree with you and also travel to tournaments when we are not in them.

However in general I don't believe the Irish do this.  You could still enjoy the day and watch the game in a bar in Dublin.  Many Irish fans did something like that in Paris for Croatia v Turkey.  

Even at Dublin prices 185 euros buys a lot of pints.

If buying now you probably do need to be prepared to attend or willing to take the hit if we don't make it.  Even if we qualify you could end up with tickets for Dublin on June 24th and we kickoff in Bilbao at the same time.  

I'd rather have the tickets and I would go anyway.  I don't believe most would go as a neutral.  In general also the Irish tend to look for tickets late enough.  

As of now I think our chances of qualifying are about 50/50.  I believe if we do demand will be off the charts.  If we don't then tickets will be no problem (unless Wales, Poland NI etc).  My advice would be to apply now if you are not confident of getting them via the FAI.  A cat 1 or cat 2 application for Dublin would have a great chance of success based on the UEFA demand charts.  However be prepared to attend anyway or face losing a good chun of your money if offloading.   

 

I've applied for 3 x CAT 1 tickets for the matches in Dublin as I'll only have 3 out of 10 away matches on the record once Switzerland is done and dusted (despite being at 5 of the 10 - the two other matches were oversubscribed and managed to source tickets from elsewhere).

 

The odds are the above will be correct come November.

 

The only way we play a last 16 match in Bilbao is if we come 3rd in the group and even at that there's no guarantee it'll be in Bilbao as it just as easily could be Budapest. Runners up in the group will play their last 16 match in Copenhagen and the winners, which lets be honest is likely to be Spain, will play their last 16 match in Glasgow.

Correct and some countries look like they are already nailed on for top seeds eg Spain, England etc who will most likely win their qualifying groups with perfect or almost perfect records.  

Poland may well do the same of course. In theory Northern Ireland could do likewise but I don't think anyone seriously expects them to beat the Dutch and Germans home and away.  Germany may well do it though by beating the Dutch at home and winning in Belfast in September.

I agree it is unlikely our group will produce a top seed.   However it is highly unlikely we will be second seeds even if we qualify directly  We'd need to win the group or come second with a large points total.

I don't see 2nd or 3rd seeds being that different and both give you the chance to draw the League D or League C winner.    

I know quite a few England fans who have already booked their flights to Dublin for the Rof16.  Some have booked onward to Copenhagen just in case they are runners up.  We could be sharing those flights.

We just need to qualify somehow.  It would be awful to host the party and not get to participate.
