It says there's a 'few tickets' left in each category.

Cat 3 tix for Swiss game changed to 'few tickets'

No timer either, and a very slow moving green bar.... I only want 2 tix for the Sco-Sui game and happy to pay cat 1 prices.

My interest over the years has waned as well. PSG v Newcastle looks tasty tonight though.

Jammy for Wales, they have a great chance to make it now. I'm hoping Luxembourg can turn Georgia over, but seems unlikely.

That's as good a draw as Wales could have hoped for. They must be favourites to get to the Euros now. And a decent chance for Georgia too!

Yes, I would think so. There will be a lot of day trippers going to the city on matchday, there will also be a lot of fans without tickets going to that city for a few days to be 'in the matchday atmosphere'. Also like your group, 10 people go to the city but only 2 have match tickets. Undoubtedly there will be some fans who stay in their base city on matchday, but I think the best plan is to head to the host city on matchday morning. Depends on some other factors as well I guess, like how far away you are between cities, and cost etc.

I've not been able to book trains as yet, but apparently there's a train every hour from Schipol to Duisburg/Dusseldorf area.

Booked up at the weekend. We are flying to Amsterdam from Edinburgh 14th-20th and train to Duisburg. Hotel booked and 'hopefully' secured. Decent links from Duisburg to 4 host cities 15-45 minutes away by train. In the UEFA ballot for all the matches in this area over those 5/6 days. I had 7 apartments (7 different host cities) booked through booking.com and was going to await the draw before I made the next move, but peer pressure, and concerns about accommodation being cancelled has changed the plans. Pretty content with everything so far, awaiting the draw....

Agreed, not particularly interesting, but certainly would have given optimism that you may have avoided 4th place and got to the knockouts.

Interesting. I just had to check last years draw. With 7.83 co-efficient points they were pot 3, and with 8.00 points Aberdeen are pot 4. Seems as though the competition has got slightly better in a year. Still , I assume the bottom 2 on that pot 3 list will be of a similar standard to Riga.

OK, cheers. I suppose it's just if there's a Scotland game on in that city it would be good to be based there, but I guess 2 or 3 of the other options are only a half hour train ride away, so all should be fine (we have places in Cologne, Gelsenkirchen and Bochum booked in that area).

I've booked apartments (some hotels) in 8 of the 10 host cities, or quite close to them, for 8 people. Really struggling finding a good price in Dusseldorf or Dortmund. Waiting for flights to become available and will just be booking the best priced one to any airport in Germany or in a neighbouring country. Once the draw is made I'll keep one of the bookings and cancel the others - and hopefully all will fall into place.

Completed. All the best.

Sad news. RIP.
