| That opening ceremony game is a complete rip-off. No wonder nobody's buying the Cat 1 or 2 tickets on the portal. €395 for a Cat 2, €595 for a Cat 1 and €445 a Cat 1 with restricted visibility. Madness! |

| KEY INFO - it appears that if you manage to buy a number of tickets for the same match at 2,3 or 4 different times, UEFA will try to put these tickets together (dependant on being same category obviously) - "All tickets purchased by the main applicant on the Ticket Resale Platform for the same match will, as far as possible, allow the ticket holders to be seated together, even if purchased through separate transactions." From the UEFA website. I take it they don't allocate specific seats until the resale portal is closed. This means if there is single tickets going it may be worth buying, with the hope of securing more at a later date. |

I reckon a lot of people have tickets they are holding onto looking to swap rather than sell. As the deadline comes closer and they don't get their swap they will then sell via portal. That should result in lots of tickets coming available as deadline closes in |

Managed to snare two of those Belgium Cat 1 tickets just now. No script or hacks or anything, just fastest finger on the F5 key. It's more than I've ever paid for a football match before, but with demand what it is I didn't want to take the chance of missing out. Sorted for all three games now

I think the tickets where priced appropriately - a lot of the faithful fans got cat 4 and cat 3 tickets with modest pricing - $25 and $55 is pretty good value for such a prestigious tournament nowadays. Obviously, the higher priced seats are for so called "better" viewing of the game. Such a "luxury" comes at a price and for those who want them can usually afford them. In our case we have such a huge demand we have people buying tickets out of their standard price range. So all in all, not a bad pricing structure IMHO. ------------- Can't wait for France |

If it's the same as Poland in 2012 then cat 1s won't necessarily have better viewing of the game. We had cat 1 tickets and few seats over in the next row was cat 2 tickets and had exactly the same view of the game. Cat 1s are price high but think alot will buy them just to get tickets for our games. Thats what we did in 2012 just bought whatever tickets we got as didn't know next time we would see Ireland play at a major tournament ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

Yes for a competing country the tickets are usually in one block. start at the edge of the penalty area and move around roughly to halfway behind the nets. So the cat 1s for a competing team are generally bad value. The general public ones are normally much the same although you can get lucky and get a good seat near the halfway line at a decent height. If you get those through a sponsor or a national association you are pretty much guaranteed a good cat 1 seat. Cat 2s are the worst value IMO. They are behind the goal in the corner. Frankly I'd prefer to be directly behind the goal than there. They are also almost double the price of a cat 3 and over 4 times that of a cat 4. The cat 4s are just higher and lower than the cat 3s. However as has been said the main thing first of all is to have a ticket.

(Please delete if you'd like) Not trying to start up the convo again. UEFA have banned people's IP's who are using 'tools' to get tickets. I'm not going to say the 'S' word. If they decide to cancel those tickets also, there might be hope for alot more people to get the tickets the touts bought up. At this time it's speculation about UEFA canceling the tickets, it's not speculation about them banning IPs (be careful lads). The tout who got banned said it happened yesterday, fwiw

Hi lads, the-thing-that-shall-not-be-named is gone but I'm still here (even though I'm new to this thread). Just to offer hope that tickets can be gotten. I spent the first 5 days putting in an obscene amount of hours and getting nothing but got a pair of Italy and a pair of Sweden tickets between last night and this morning just by using refreshing techniques. It can be done. Keep the faith! |

I tried myself, with zero luck. I can build you a roadway or a bridge, not write you a computer software program to hack a bank account. Slim pickings out there. First two days were the best, pure luck or "S" since. I don't see a huge supply of tickets being offered again on this portal with the minor exception of the last 2 days. You will see an increase then. Anyway, I think this portal is basically the last opportunity for UEFA to mail tickets. THere will be other opportunities (albeit slim for Irish and England fans) for tickets and they will have to be picked up with ID at the stadium. Best of luck. I'm sorted, but many mates are not.

I can't go to the Sweden match, so I haven't been looking for those tickets much, but I thought there would have been alot more being sold with a capacity of 50,000. I was wrong. I think that's a strong indication of the support going over. One other factor, this isn't 2012, where the host nations couldn't afford the tickets. Clearly the French can and are not selling like it was in 2012

if you aren't buying 50+ tickets, I don't think you have much to worry about. The guy who got banned was definitely a tout. Now, I'm only assuming they won't ban people who bought 4-10 tickets using script, but I don't know for sure.

That's why I previously stated that the last 2 days of the resale portal with see a rise in tickets. People trying to swap will start getting nervous that they will get stuck with them and post them for resale. There would be more tickets if people could resell Stadium or FMT tickets. That's crap.

Why would UEFA even care? They only want to get paid and wont go hunting people who use scripts that refresh tabs would they? Organized touting is more likely. I mean why is then a site like viagogo even up? Lucky thing is that half those tickets wont be sold with profit which is amusing :) Whats more fun is that you can buy tickets to two different games at same date.. I mean..  |

Cria had said that given the numbers of applications that it was inevitable that not even all season ticket holders still without tickets would be able to be catered for. Do there must have been thousands of applications. Would be good to start a list of people who applied to FAI but are now sorted or partially sorted so will not need FAI tickets |

Make sure you're in the sold out page for the match in question and just keep hammering away at F5. he has managed to get tickets on 3 separate occasions in the past week for the Italy match. Doesn't seem to be working for me, had a Germany, Iceland & Northern Ireland match in my basket but that was the height of it. Best of luck, here's hoping we beat the touts!
