they will resell ticket to fans out in france so maybe neautral and not faw tickets but they will not be neautral if we make it to the quarters lots of welsh fans will come out just for the game and swell the numbers, like england in their failed attempts seems England get everywhere in the ground somehow we can be the same if we make quaters thousands of peple will come out ! . plus fans who teams do not make the quarters will sell up via fans or the resell portal . As far as I am aware, once the resale portal has closed (in April?), then there is no official way to sell tickets. Plus, the resale portal is only for reselling guaranteed tickets, and not the conditional tickets that are purchased through each FA (e.g. FAW, DFB, FA, etc). So you can't wait until your team gets knocked out to sell a guaranteed ticket through official channels. Similarly, I don't believe there is an official way to buy tickets for a knock-out game once the resale portal has closed (i.e. you can't just buy tickets from UEFA a day or so before the game). As you say though, I'm sure that plenty which change hands unofficially, through fans on message boards, etc. |

Thanks for the link, Sleepy. This is the quote on page 5: "TICKET RESALE PLATFORM An official ticket resale platform will allow fans to sell their tickets through the UEFA EURO 2016 ticket portal at face value. The ticket resale platform will be available in March/April 2016. This will allow fans to legally purchase tickets from other fans, eradicating the risk of acquiring invalid or fraudulent tickets and ensuring a smooth resale process." I guess this makes sense, as the confirmed match-day tickets are only sent out from UEFA towards the end of May - so this kind of ticket portal can be easily organised by UEFA without actual tickets changing hands, and at face value. |

Thanks for this, I've just tweeted the faw. To be fair i imagine they are doing everything they can, but no harm letting them know |

Any idea where these extra tickets have come from? Can't see how they can increase Ireland's allocation above 16% without doing the same for their opponents? (And other nations in different groups come to that).

(And other nations in different groups come to that). I can only imagine that it will come off the current public portal of tickets that is still open up until 1 February. As our England game is still the only game on that portal to still offer (a lottery chance of a) 40 euro tickets in category 3, I will be totally disgusted if my Welsh portal application for cat 2/3 gets rejected, and some bored and uninterested Dutchman or Dane, that just fancies a trip to Northern France, gets it instead of us! |

Guys to answer how they got more
Is simple and the reason why public portal has been extended to 1st february
Once numbers of applications are in UEFA can readjust seating plan and thus transfer tickets to general sale and other FAs allcoation if other FAs tickets are undersubscribed
this is reason why exact figures to do with our allocation or split was never given as it is only fixed at 16 percent minimum if you sell them
Also why did we have FYT tickets and england decided not too again simple this is ensure that we have fans at semi and final should we make it that far the reality being is ticket sales would have been unsubscribed for these had we gone down route of England as most believe we will not make it that far

How can they do this as no person has been allocated an exact seat yet not even people who where successful in earlier public ballot

hopefully we get a bit more of are allocation if ireland can seems their big application worked well for them was open to all tho , kind of wish we had been open to all then we get more from uefa and everyone on points gets sorted, ireland was open o all but have a loyalty system in place, not sure about the reasons above, are fans who have not done follow my team have also opted for a semi and finals just in case but just not the last 32 or quarters as cant afford all or want cat 4 tickets . Many of the wales applications would have been just better on the open portal and not through faw portal due to our low allocation will be high points needed , fans like to hope and cross fingers but that will be the reality .

we may well get more tickets for Slovakia and Russia potential
I think FAW are being cagey with passing info as various places are wanting to cause a storm over tickets
Remember UEFA has one goal to sell all tickets now and only guarantee FAW have is to get 16 percent of tickets if we can sell them and some more if other FAs cant
Also this policy make sure as many fans from participating FAs get as many tickets as posible would just as easy for UEFa to put all unsolds into general sale but segregation permitting thay transfer as many as they can to other fa in fixture
Also one other thing UEFA has done right is two allocations one for fans and one for FAs to distribute to theyre people and sponsors etc

Fingers crossed for some extras - can't see too much neutral demand for our games with Russia and Slovakia and even 1000 extra tickets would go a long way

I'm fuming they are now allowing Debit Cards after all that fuss and what Corky said!!!
That is going to cost me a transaction fee now (If I'm lucky) whereas I can buy overseas on my debit card without any fees.
My mate got a credit card just to apply for these tickets and is in the same boat!

If the current open portal is anything to go by, the Russia game now only has Category 1 tickets left |

Very unfair. |

I thought it was a ballot so are they closing certain categories after receiving "X" amount applications so they encourage (or force) applications for a higher priced category? Is this assumption correct? |

But Cat 3 restricted view at only 40 Euro tickets are still available for Wales v England. I'd imagine they've had a large number of applications for these, and how many of these tickets can there possibly be? |

As much as we might moan about our allocation, spare a thought for holders Spain, lowest aggregate allocation of all 24 teams ! Rather bizarrely the seeded nations in D, E and F all have the lowest allocations in their respective groups. On the basis that would have been determined early on, I cant help but ask, Why?

thats stupid getting a ticket and you dont know which game you are gonna watch Its done like that i believe to favor the hosts France as only if you live in a host city would you buy not knowing fixtures and also UEFA can make another shed load of money off fees when ticket exchange portal opens as sure there will be a UEFA handling fee etc |

So its just UEFA trying to make sure that every last ticket is sold - even if there were only 30 or 40 left over tickets for the England game (or perhaps to just be able to manipulate the segregation line between our two nations with neutral fans?) |

I would hope, assuming we are oversubscribed, that a conversation has gone on between our FAW and UEFA to see if we can get hold of some of as many of these as possible. I'm fairly confident that this will have happened. |
