Scary Bear Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I agree. Sounds like UEFA making a c**t of it again. I wrote to UEFA yesterday expressing my unhappiness with their ticketing arrangements. To their credit they replied, saying that as some fans didn't pay for their tickets, unsuccessful and partially successful applicants that were next in line in the lottery results were contacted and given an opportunity to purchase those tickets. In summary UEFA: “you’ve no tickets? Tough shite” “You only got a few tickets? Awwwww, have some more” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the email yesterday and waited briefly before giving up, as the red bar had barely moved. I've already got some tickets anyway. Tried this morning and got through immediately. Spotted a last 16 at Hampden 'from €50' plus a load of Baku stuff, but when I clicked through it was only cat 1 and 2 tickets. Could have had a 1/4 final in Baku for €30 mind you.

Not necessarily, Wizz Air fly direct from Budapest for around £100 return. Beginning to regret not going for Bucharest, Budapest and Baku. Booking flights before the lottery was dumb, as was trusting the demand graphics on the site. Just hoping for some luck for Munich in the Spring resale site now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not given the amount of money they're throwing at it. They seem to be trying to host every sporting event going just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Gave in and bought a 30 euro seat for the third group game in Baku. Not sure if I can make it but hopefully I'll be able to sell it on if not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Mata Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Gave in and bought a 30 euro seat for the third group game in Baku. Not sure if I can make it but hopefully I'll be able to sell it on if not.I hope for your sake that group turns out to be Italy, Belgium, Finland and Wales! You'll get that Munich quarter no problems judging by how enthusiastic you already are. Anyone who spends enough time around the forums will get any match they want (with a small asterisk next to the final, a little tougher to get without overpaying a higher category). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwwww, have some more” However they've arsed it up, it wasn't that; in the ballot I applied for all four Hampden games, the opening match and final and got nothing. This time I got the email and it offered me all four Hampden matches and everything in Baku. It's interesting that I didn't get offered the chance to buy anything else, but others here are saying that they did. Sorry you didn't even get the chance this time, that sucks. I'm not saying I'd join your anti-UEFA terror group but I might do some propaganda work for you.* * For the benefit of the 14 intelligence and policing agencies reading this, we're joking and we eschew all violence and paramilitary activity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMc77 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Found the e-mail in my junk folder this morning. Was lucky enough to get 4 x 50 euro tickets for the last group game at Hampden. Hopefully it's not England v Scotland at Wembley that day..... Looked at the Baku games which were all offered, then checked flights, then forgot about going to Baku. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I already have tickets for the last group game and the last 16 game at Hampden (the 'cheap' seats) but really cannot justify buying the other two group games at €125 a ticket. If Scotland make it and play the last group game away from Hampden, I'll be fuming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It’s annoying trying to plan when no ko times are out sort from 1:4 finals onwards. Could have less than 48 hours to get from Bilbao to Glasgow with no direct flights. Nearest Airport I can find going to Glasgow is bordeaux. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Sunday the 21st of June you are thinking about, the 2020 schedules aren't out yet but this summer it looks like Easyjet has a direct flight Bilbao to Edinburgh so it could be an option later (September according to their website). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've forgiven UEFA. I just got 2 tickets for the game at Hampden on Friday the 19th. 125 Euros a piece is a bit steep, but if we make it I won't give a single f**k about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just been taken straight through to that as well. Any three of the Hampden games at 125 a pop. Not sure what to do. Probably get 2 for the 19th as well if you're going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy I work with had applied for a load, got none, and hasn’t had an offer on anything at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
