Euro 2012 - general info

**pineapple stu** · 13/02/2012, 11:03 AM

Random site with some general info here. Has info on train timetables, visas, phrases and stuff. Looks like it's only starting out; could be useful closer the time.

Hopefully theres more trains being put on from Poznan to Gdansk and back again when the tournament comes around.

120 Euro Croatia tickets up there now

**French Toasht** · 20/02/2012, 7:23 PM

I reckon for the Italy and Croatia games, our fans are going to outnumber the Italians and Croatians massively. There seems to perpetually be CRO V ITA tickets up, which leaves me to think that all the CRO v IRE and ITA v IRE tickets are being snapped up by Ireland fans.

As for Spain, not so sure we'll be in the majority there, because there never seems to be Spain tickets up for our match or matches against the other two sides in the group.

How are folk getting across Poland between the Spain and Italy games ?

Maybe not but I reckon that is largely down to neutrals rather than Spanish fans who dont traditionally travel in large numbers. Im sure with our general all round super-cool friendliness we will have the natives on side for that one!

I'm over in India here so I be on that ticket portal thing at odd hours! Just after seeing some I-talian I presume off loading their tickets, since ESP-ITA and ITA-IRL both appeared. of course I couldn't be lucky enough to pick up the one for our match!

**DeLorean** · 22/02/2012, 12:16 PM

I nearly picked up a €70 Cat 2 Italy ticket there (€97 with crazy fees included). I had given my own address on registration but was about the use the girlfriend's credit card. I went in to see if there was anywhere I could add her billing details but there doesn't seem to be. Would my own address with her credit card number, etc. work? Think it's the first time I've seen a Cat 2 Ireland ticket.

Also, it's really stupid that it gives you a drop down box where you can select as many as four tickets but then tells you that they don't have the required amount. By the time I've checked 4, 3, and 2 they're often gone. I suppose I should just be greedy and get one for myself straight away.

**EAFC_rdfl** · 22/02/2012, 12:26 PM

I had a wee go at that one too! yes its the first non-CAT1 for italy i've seen. I did pick up 4 cat2 spain a few weeks ago, such luck!
Likewise I tried 4,3,2 first with no success, terribly thought out website so it is! as for the CC details, I think it works ok to stick in some one elses card details even if its not at your address

**DeLorean** · 22/02/2012, 1:13 PM

Yeah it's beyond belief that the obvious glitches haven't been fixed up yet. You really struck gold with the Spain tickets. The more you get at the one time the less administration fees too.

Ireland v Croatia category 1 on the portal now

**Nugget** · 22/02/2012, 5:15 PM

Gone already

Promoting their availability will ensure they're gone.

My experience on using portals is, if you're not at the payment process within roughly 30 seconds of limited supply tickets being made available, you can forget it. You have to sit and watch it like a hawk for up to several hours at a time to get any joy. And wear out the "Refresh" button.

For the people who are staying around for the whole of the group stages, how long are you spending in Gdansk?

**EAFC_rdfl** · 24/02/2012, 4:12 AM

Not staying for all 3, arriving in Gdansk the 13th. staying there 4 nights near the beach, happy days

Just the one night but we'll probably regret it as it seems like a nice spot. We'll be going to Berlin for a couple of nights in between Poznan and Gdansk as it's only a 3hr drive from Poznan. Hitting Warsaw for a couple of nights after Gdansk.
