    I am hearing an email coming shortly and expect to stand down for today. This is second hand mind. 

    Was assuming it will be tomorrow or more likely Friday for the sale. 
     

    Also, can understand them not rushing the comms now - they’ll be shitting it to make another mistake.  Can imagine this will be getting proof-read a few times before they confirm what’s happening now.

    The website is pretty confusing, it asks what your destination is but not where you're starting from and tells you to click on a map too add more destinations

    Hadn't got as far as looking at the website but I have downloaded the planner phone app. 

    Agree - the website planner isn't the clearest. It looks like the first 'destination' you need to put in is maybe your starting point? Then you add each destination from there. I think it's only really a pricing tool to be honest if you're looking at the same thing as me. It's taking your itinerary that you input and working out what the optimal pass is for you.

    Cat 1 tickets for the final are a grand. That’s obscene. Luckily we won’t need to worry about going to that game. 😂

    Ye of little faith! 😂

    It is a lot of money, but think it needs a bit of context with the level of event it is and comparison to what folk pay for concerts or other big sporting events. Look at going to el Classico, or a day out at Wimbledon or the US Open.

    I am glad you said this as I am  confused too . Does it mean if you want tickets for all 3 matches you just put in the one access code ?? It also says each match will have its own access code. This has disaster written all over it 😂

    I’m pretty certain there is 1 access code per match. 

  5. Train down to London then quick changeover to Eurostar. 
     

    Still to decide on whether to go to Brussels, Amsterdam or Frankfurt for the first night then down to Munich the next day.

    "Fans of all teams can also already apply for tickets for all matches until 12th December". So just like I said, nothing to do with any national associations.

    For someone who admitted they might be wrong you seem determined to prove me right.

    Wasn’t picking a fight mate. 😂

    Just trying to decipher the info as well. If this is additional tickets above the 10k then that’s great news for everyone and more Tartan Army in the ground.

    UEFA have opened up a 2nd ballot on the ticket portal now. Deadline is 12th December so you'll be able to apply for Scotland group games since we'll know which games they are tomorrow.

    I think the ballot will only apply to national associations who have asked UEFA to run sales this way for their fans. Basically countries that don’t have large supporters clubs like the SSC and England (who are using access codes in coordination with UEFA). I might be wrong, but I don’t think there’s a ballot for us.

    I was thinking of doing a charter flight for game one, and returning my son home (if I can get him a ticket) then getting the train to Germany the following day, and staying until e are eliminated, that would work would it not?

    Yes, that would work fine.  Sorry - thought you were suggesting the possibility of going back and forward on the train a few times.

    Thank you. I did try and find this out on the website but the T and C's aren't well documented.

    This is fantastic value though, I plan to return home between games so this will allow that and not cost a fortune

    Careful,  it won’t quite allow what you suggest. 
     

    There can only be one outbound,and one inbound journey, for your home country.  So it wouldn’t allow you to from/to UK on multiple occasions.

    Good update 

    Was wondering how the SSC will do this for people on 11pts. Send out 14,000 individual codes and only 2/3000 will be able to purchase? Free for all. Weird one.

    All 11 pointers are equal in the eyes of the SSC / UEFA, so the SFA only really need to send out a single code that can be used by any of the 7k or so on a first-come, first-served basis. 
     

    I’d assume the data sharing of the database from the SFA->UEFA allows UEFA to ensure that the only email addresses valid for purchasing against the code, in that particular window are those that the SFA have advised as 11 pointers. Same approach for each level. 
     

    I’d expect it to work that way, but maybe they will generate individual codes for everyone. Regardless, it’ll be FCFS below 12 points so doesn’t matter either way.

    Do these let you travel from Glasgow down to London?

    Yes. Travel from anywhere in the UK.
     

    I believe the terms are that your journey is supposed to go from starting place (Glasgow) to the outbound port (say London-Eurostar terminal, or Dover, Hull, etc.).  and that journey to the continent should commence the same day. 
     

    It doesn’t have to be a single leg journey, (I.e. you could go Inverness-Glasgow-London).

    While true, I think a few here are suggesting the windows could have been a bit longer to allow more points privileges. Why does it all have to be done and dusted in 48 hours?

    The big unknown is how many tickets are there in each price bracket. Personally I don't mind paying a bit more considering this will be my first finals, but equally I don't want to be in an area full of neutrals! Really hoping we don't get Germany on the opening game, partly due to ticket price premium, but also the fact our flights don't allow us to get there on time! 

    I don’t expect our sections to be in with any neutrals. 

    Pretty sure we get an entire slice of the stadium, from front tow to back. It’ll start somewhere behind the goals and extend round behind the corner, covering all 4 categories. The corners containing the participating teams will be at opposing ends on the same side of the stadium if that makes sense. So they’re in view of TV cameras.

    I'm sure the opening match is A1 v A2 so we can't be involved as we'd be A3 in that group 

    Our seed pot position does not mean we will be 3 in the group.

    Need to start your travel before June 1 I believe.

    Time has passed now for the sale price, but you only need to activate the pass by 1st June. That kicks off a 2 month window for you to start consuming the 10 or 15 days.

    I only have one experience with ViaGoGo and it was for a music concert. My tickets never arrived however I did get a full refund from ViaGoGo, which was surprisingly easy. Problem was, I still didn't have a ticket and had made all travel arrangements, so there is an element of risk.

    Yes - I meant to mention that. You are correct that there is a risk that the seller doesn’t actually have the tickets to sell. 
     

    So, you’re not financially exposed to risk as part of the ticket sales, but obviously you are open to risk for it fucking your wider plans. 
     

    The only people that I can imagine would post tickets that the don’t actually have would be professional touts or people that expect that they can go and somehow source tickets cheaper than what they would be supplying them to you. They only actually gain money if they sell them. I suppose in theory if the market for a certain game goes crazy, they could fuck you over and then sell at a higher cost.

    Yes it is tempting but the 10 or 15 day span may not suffice for return trip should Scotland actually reach the knock-out stages.

    It’s 15 travel days though, not 15 consecutive days. 
     

    When you combine that with the free local travel on matchdays, or add on the €49 deutschland ticket (doesn’t cover ICE), then there’s a number of days you can prob use local train services to avoid consuming one of the 15days. 

    I’m sure it’ll do me fine right up to Berlin in mid-July. 😄

  16. Bit late notice, but some of you may have seen this on Twitter. 
     

    25% off sale for interrail.eu. 
     

    Global Promo Pass: 

    10 days travel = £275

    15 days travel = £335 

     

    Would cover journey in/out from UK as well.
     

    Some additional charges for seat reservation fees depending on the country/train. Normally 5-10euros, but the most expensive one is Eurostar €38.  
     

    Still very good value compared to flights.

    where did you find a reseller and how did you ensure you didn't get scammed?

    I used StubHub. 
     

    Similar concept to Viagogo and these other big ticket sites. I believe they hold the money until after the event - so if you get scammed and enter dispute with them, then the seller is stuck in dispute without having received the money. 
     

    In reality,  the way the UEFA tickets are set up means that they can’t scam you via this type of approach. The seller has to transfer the ticket to you using the email address you registered on the UEFA app. This means that the seller can only transfer the ticket once. It’s not like they can email a barcode to 100 folk. 

     

    When I bought 2x Wembley ticket, the seller transferred them in no time at all.  They appeared in my UEFA app, and I then transferred on the 2nd ticket to my mates UEFA app using his email address.

    Looking to travel to Berlin arrival 15th June 2024 myself and 13 year old son if there are any buses with space leaving Glasgow area would be amazing cheers 💙

    Bus will be great crack if you find some running.  
     

    I went on a bus from Glasgow to the games in Prague ‘99 and Dortmund ‘14. Good fun with a good bunch of likeminded folk. 
     

    Alternatively, you could look at Interail passes. I’m currently checking that out for feasibility. Someone on Twitter highlighted its 25% off until 28 Nov.
