The Czech Republic will be playing against Switzerland in the opening game of the Euro cup 2008

uefa_euro_cup

The UEFA just announced that more than 1 million tickets for the Euro cup 2008 will be sent in the next weeks from Austria to the fortunate ones who could get hold of them. The tickets were distributed by a lottery like system due to the overwhelming demand. If you applied for a ticket for the UEFA Euro cup 2008, you should have already received an email communicating if you got one or not. If you haven’t, go to the official website of the Eurocup and log-in in the ticket portal tool they provide.
I can remind you of the official prices of the tickets according to the UEFA 2008 website:
Opening game Euro cup: Switzerland vs. Czech Republic at 18:00 in Basel, Switzerland –> from 70 euro to 250 euro
Euro cup group matches or Euro cup first round games —-> from 45 euro to 110 euro
Euro cup quarter finals —–> from 60 euro to 180 euro
Semi finals Euro cup ——> from 80 euro to 300 euro
Final Euro cup in Viena in Austria ——-> from 160 euro to 550 euro
The tickets for the football games in the Euro cup include the transportation on buses and trains to and from the stadium. The stadiums will open 3 hours before kick off.

Not surprising, there are no tickets left for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008. At least that’s what the Organisation says. Looks like the tickets were put on sale last year already, and with a lottery-like system, will be allocated to the fortunate few. According to the UEFA, each national team has an allocation of tickets and it is up to them what to do with the tickets.
At first sight, it doesn’t seem to be any tickets on sale in Ebay. Neither on the German website or the one in the UK. And on the website of the Spanish Football Association there is no information available about tickets.
Just as the World Cup in Germany some years ago, the resale of the tickets is forbidden and penalised. The prices were, as expected, very high: from 45 Euros for a regular match (75 for the opening game), to 550 for the final. This is not very different for the prices of European football teams. I went to one game of Barcelona FC and ended up paying around 60 Euro per ticket, and it wasn’t against Real Madrid or Valencia, was an average team.
Anyway, I am sure the atmosphere in Switzerland or Austria, will be great. Even with no tickets for the games. Would it be different this year without England?
