1zzurri Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I am applying for tickets for the upcoming euros. The team specific ticket window just opened and I am trying to get tickets to italy games in group stage. You need to be italian national or living in italy to apply for these specific tickets which I am. After putting in your italian or whatever european countrys passport info you have two options. The follow your team option or single ticket option. The follow your team option only sells category 1(most expensive) and 3(2nd cheapest) tickets as options and u have to buy all three group stage games with option of knock out games(conditional on teams placement naturally). The "single ticket option" allows you to apply in all 4 price ranges for each game individually. I want to watch every Italy game in group stage and possibly more while being in the italy fan section but am afraid the "single ticket options" which include the cheap level 4 price ticket might place me somewhere else away from italy fans since the cheap tickets wasnt an original option with "follow your team section". Anyone have any experience with this? Does it really matter which option I chose? Afterall I did have to out my italian passport info to get into this portal in the first place so maybe all the people applying for ticks in this round will be placed in same corner of stadium. who knows. I wanna add a picture but i forgot how to add a pic without a url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I purchased follow your team packages for both Euro 2008 and 2012. I would suggest that route as the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that route as the best way to go. It definitely would be the best route but I just prefer the cheapest tickets lol although its not a huge difference. Group stage tickets for category 4 tickets are 24 euros a ticket and category 3 tickets are 55 euros a ticket. Both are still super cheap although being poor id like to reduce costs as much as possible. So since he follow your team tickets can only be bought in category 1 or 3 it gets a bit confusing. But I will maybe just go for category 3 as I agree with you saying its the best way to go. Te only reason i brought this up bc i applied for brazil 2014 tickets in the follow ur team section and was able to get all group stages at the cheapest pay category so its slightly different here. Thanks General stadium designations for euro2016 although every stadium will be slightly different obviously. Category 1-PINK Category 2-orange Category 3-blue Category 4-green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure but there is hospitality tab on the euro 2016 site so maybe through there something is available. AirBNB is what I am going to look into or sleeping in a car or on the beach or in a ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that for the World Cup in Germany in 2006, your match ticket gave you free rail into and out of the city on match day. This was very helpful because it meant you did not always need to stay in the city. Not sure if anything similar is being done in France. Something to look into.

I had "obstructed view" for the world cup final in Germany and all it meant, was that one corner could only be seen by looking through a glass wall.

johnyb Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Got through the lottery and was only able to secure 1 round of 16 game. Still looking for tickets to Por vs Aus on June 18th in Paris and Ita vs Ire on June 22nd in Lille. The Bots have control of the resale site so not having much luck. Any suggestions on how to secure some tix without paying a fortune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'd be open to suggestions as well. Looking to go to Czech-Spain on the 13th and Italy-Sweden on the 17th, both games in Toulouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set up a pick up point, usually in a meeting room in a hotel close to the stadium. The line can be pretty long, but besides that, it is a pretty easy process. On a side note, I might have some people dropping out of the trip. So I might have some tickets to the Italy matches if interested. Should know in a week or so.
