    Before I start - delete if this isn't allowed. I don't want to get flagged as being a scalper.

    Myself and my mate are flying over from Canada as mentioned elsewhere on the forum. We decided that since we are going a long way, we would buy the tickets on stubhub on the day of the draw just to know we had tickets. Yesterday, I checked my junk email to find I won tickets for HUngary and Switzerland. The tickets I won in the ballot were category 1 and we decided to buy them anyway with hope we can shift our other tickets.

    Only issue is we paid over the odds for the other tickets to begin with. We are obviously keeping Germany (the most expensive of the 3) but have 2 pairs of tickets for Hungary and Switzerland for sale.

    TBH I dunno if this is the place to post as I'll get abuse saying I'm a scalper and all that pish. I paid well over the odds but have the tickets for sale none the less.

    Paid $698 USD for 2 switzerland tickets cat 3

    Paid $667 USD for 2 Hungary tickets cat 3

    I've the screengrabs from stubhub etc to show that is the price I paid. Looking into ways to sort this out as I think there is a situation with number of times uefa allow you to transfer tickets.

    Is it a rip off? Aye it is. I was daft buying them but wanted to go. Thought I'd offer. But understand most people would say GTF.

    If anyone wants them cool, otherwise I'm allowing a family member to buy them underprice.

    It’s clear if you have the screenshots you’re not a scammer mate. Hope that all works out and fair play to you for buying them in the first place. I’d have done the exact same.

  2. To answer above question the tickets haven’t been issued to anyone yet so would only be transferred once.

    SSC tickets have the transfer option blanked out. 

    Ballot tickets don’t.

    To help my ballot ticket last euros for Czech at Hampden was transfered to me from an English fan, then on to my mate and the transfer option was still valid for him if he has wanted to to transfer again.

    My Croatia SSC ticket didn’t have the transfer option available at all.

    If I’d been successful for every game I applied for then I wouldn’t have got any tickets because I wouldn’t have been able to afford to pay the overall cost.

    The overall balance was going into the tens of thousands. It’s extremely unlikely you’ll get a full application successful from the last two tournaments so took a gamble and luckily it paid off 

    I also got myself a divorce, new house, a CSM direct debit set up and a tinder account 

    Hahahah

    I got tickets for 4 games. All 3 Scotland games plus a Slovakia v play off winner game in Dusseldorf 

    The more games you apply for in the ballot the more you'll get if successful seems to be how it worked in 2016 and tickets were being thrown about like smarties in 2021 but that wasn’t in peace time tbf

    There’ll be a chance next week probably when folk haven’t paid for their tickets they’ve been dejected for today 

     

    What an absolutely incredible result. From what I’ve read you’ve been very lucky. 99% were rejected. Well done. 

  5. Very similar to everyone else on here - be giving Faro a miss due to money / holidays. 
     

    I’ll be sensible and just drive to the Finland game - in and out. 
     

    When do we need to renew SSC memberships? Any guesses. That’s another £50

    Yeah, we’re staying in Mainz so would be near enough the same journey to get up to Halle.  Not the quickest but will see what happens with the ballot.  
     

    A day out at the tennis is brilliant though. You’ll have a great time. 

    Yeh looked at last years day 1 and they had seeds 1 and 2 (Tsipitas and Medvedev) on the opening day so hoping for the same. At €29 it’s great value. 
     

    Thanks :)

    Good stuff. 

    What did you book for the tennis? 

    I’m right into the tennis but still swithering. Will maybe see if I get any other matches in the UEFA ballot first. 

    Booked 17th as the football matches at 3 and 5 weren’t the greatest. Maybe do the 18th as well. I’ll see. 

    Im in Frankfurt so it looks like a decent bit of travelling but I’ll see more of the country and no plans so why not. 
     

    Long gap between match 1 and 2.

    Innis and Gunn taprooms have screens for big events like 6Ns, be very surprised if they don’t do it for the Scotland games in the euros

    https://www.innisandgunn.com/taprooms/six-nations

    Angels Share do similar I’m told, not been in there to watch.

    Edit - Innis and Gunn on Lothian road is doing it, the one in Leith isn’t.

    I stand corrected - been In loads and never seen a tele. I must’ve been blinded by the beer!  Apologies 

  9. Understand this meets some peoples needs and I am all for the convenience aspect of it but I am going to go against the grain slightly and say I don’t think this is a great price. 

    I’m 11 nights and similar accommodation levels - added in 4 trains and 3 match tickets and still around £600 less.

    Edin - Stuttgart - plane 

    (1 night Stuttgart) 

    (train to Munich)

    1 night Munich 

    (train to Frankfurt) 

    4 nights Frankfurt 

    (train to cologne) 

    4 nights cologne 

    (Train to Stuttgart) 

    1 night Stuttgart

    Stuttgart to Edinburgh (plane)

    + 3 match tickets - £910.

    Ignore the inevitable reverse snobbery further up the thread, Edinburgh's great, but we just like people to wash occasionally (which is what the weegies above complain about).

    Pear Tree worth a shout

    The Globe on Niddrie Street

    Malones (both of them, Leith and Haymarket)

    Platform five is ok

    Belushis is good too, bit chain-y

    Black Bull in the Grassmarket

    Grovesnor on Shandwick Place

    Scotts, The Queens Arms, Milnes, Amber Rose on or around Rose Street

    The Chanter on Bread St, Innis and Gunn tap room on Lothian Road

    Angel's Share is meant to be good if you're looking for something posher

     

     

     

    Agree there are some decent bars there but a lot don’t have TVs

    For Euro 2020 (21) you could transfer tickets in the Uefa Ticketing app, should be the same for this? if so i'll gladly take it, going to Cologne with no ticked as it stands. 

    Can for tickets in the UEFA ballot. Ssc tickets have this blanked out.

     

    This guy with the ticket will receive a link to download the app. A limit to download the ticket to the app. 
     

    All he needs to do is not do these things and give both links to someone and the person register with his email address that the ticket was sent to. Ofcourse if he has other ticket for other games then it can’t happen. As the person would have access to all his tickets.

    Bitburger is the tournament beer, apparently. 

    You’re quite right. That’s good news. 
     

    Bitburger has become an official national partner of UEFA EURO 2024 making the German brewer the official beer of UEFA EURO 2024. 

    As the official beer of the tournament, Bitburger products will be made available exclusively in all stadiums as well as in the official fan zones and events in the host cities. Fans will be able to enjoy a wide variety of beverages including non-alcoholic beers.

    Onerepublic only confirmed for the closing ceremony. Opening ceremony not confirmed yet. 
     

    I’ll be there early only because it’s day one of a tournament and tickets are on an app so these things can go wrong. Be plenty beer inside (just hope they give the contract to a decent German beer and not Budweiser or Heineken again)

    Likely out for 4/5 months. Won’t be at Euros I don’t think. 

    Recent interviews suggest the manager doesn’t expect any new caps at the euros and anyone wanting to come in from another country would need to make contact with him. I do wonder if Harvey Barnes will pick up the phone before March. I do think it would need to be those matches for him to be considered for Germany.

    Yes that is my understanding, I emailed DB several times & they confirmed most of what i was asking- it appears you can travel to host city several days before if needed- provided it is within the offer period of 12/06 onwards….. on the DB website, where it details the 29.90 euro ticket offer  & you click for  further info it then states ‘register’ for notification when they are available, that should change to a ‘Select’ in a red background when its ready- I too have booked all my tickets for train level except I have 2 trains left to book

    Cracking thank you. Similar position.

    Basically:

    Win the group and we play in Dortmund on the 29th against the runner-up in England group.

    Finish 2nd and its Berlin on the same day against the runner up of the Spain/Italy/Croatia/Albania group (this is where you could see some potential "fixing" of results, like what Southgate likes to do)

    Finnish 3rd, then got to wait and see what happens, then its a case of we might be playing in Cologne or Gelsenkirchen on the 30th, Frankfurt on the 1st, or Munich on the 2nd 

    Do you mean Spain or Italy may want us so fix it? 

  17. The new champions league is shit as well.

    Ken what while I am at it - only allow managers to be appointed in transfer windows. Sure, sack who you have but it means someone else has to do the job from within. Far too many teams appoint someone and after 10 games they’re away. Made your bed - lie in it. 

  18. Finishing 3rd of a 4 team group is garbage and going through.

    Means the whole things is totally unfair dependant on what group you’re in. Some group winners getting to play teams 2nd place. Other teams finishing 2nd facing others that finish 2nd. Some group winners facing 3rd place teams. Some groups finishing later than others so knowing a 0-0 for example gets them through rather than a 2-2 and crap like that. 
     

    Was far better before. 2 through. 2 out. All Group winners facing a runner up. 
     

    But it created an extra 8 matches and that means money. 
     

    Ofcourse I won’t complain if we make it through. But whole things is amateur hour. Having 24 teams play 3 matches each just to eliminate 8 teams is stupid.
