Euro 2016 Thread

[Kitsondinho]

Indeed. Entered the ballot today, for a few games in Lens and Paris. Hopefully get at least one game.... Especially as I failed miserably in the Olympic + Rugby World Cup ballots....which obviously will have no bearing on a separate ballot, but hey ho......

Looks like UEFA are starting to charge credit cards

[Kitsondinho]

They are indeed...I have two mates who have had their cards charged for games. Bizarrely one has confirmed tickets on the main UEFA ticketing site (matches he was succesful for gone green, ones he missed out on gone red) but the other still has the standard form that was submitted, even though the money has gone for (some of) his application!

[RG30]

Had £212 taken off mine, nothing on portal to tell me for which matches though

[Kitsondinho]

I was unsuccessful in obtaining any tickets (just like RWC and Olympic ballots)

[RG30]

Commiserations but you'll get plenty more opportunities to purchase tickets closer to the event. We picked up tickets for 4 Euro 2012 matches a month before the tournament started and even with the Olympics I secured a ticket for the 100m final on the day of the event.

Quite pleased with my ballot results

[Kitsondinho]

Thanks, I know this isn't the end.....secured some Olympic tickets fairly last minute myself....however, it would be nice to have some success in one of these ballots!!!

Will probably have to sack off Marseille but a good week for the other 3.

Hotels already booked, going to Eurotunnel and drive to both destinations potentially as the Eurostar bookings don't go out that far yet

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Managed to get 4x Quarter final tickets in Marseille...

Bare in mind I applied for 11 matches I'm slightly disappointed I didn't get any more but on the other hand could have ended up with none so not to unhappy.

[LWJ]

Purchased x4 QF tickets in Bordeaux off The Rouge.

Kitson if you haven't already seen he is selling 2 other matches in Classifieds.

Will be looking to sell my Marseille ticket on the 10th June if you are planning a longer stay?

Yes unfortunately, it was a backup punt match if I didn't get the three others

[leww_rfc]

Off out to Cyprus this coming weekend. Wins against them and Israel home will see us in our first major tournament since 1958...
(If Belgium win their two games too).

Who'd have thought it? Little old Wales.

[leww_rfc]

Can't complain with 4 points. We need 1 point to qualify now. Bosnia (A) & Andorra (H) remain.

I'd say it's a given, but supporting Wales you never can...

[Royal Ginger]

San Marino just scored their first away goal in 14 years. Sucks to be Lithuania right now.

Easyjet are now taking bookings for June, for those looking at cheap flights (they also do some internal flights within France)

[RG30]

Off to Scotland tomorrow for the Poland match. One more win and Poland will qualify automatically.

[leww_rfc]

Off to Bosnia this Saturday. Looking for that one point that will see us seal qualification.

A bit disappointed that the Bosnian FA gave us such a small allocation, but the others should have their chance to celebrate come Tuesday against Andorra.
