As of 14:00 all the tickets seem sold.
They mention on the website more being put on up until April 15th...

Worth checking back every few hours.
This happened on the May Bank Holiday last year when phase 2 opened. First hour madness, couldn't get tickets.
3-4 hours later all the tickets that people had grabbed but couldn't complete the transactions were freed up and you had a couple of hours to get tickets.
Cheers for the tip Gary, now I better go and squeeze the work I should've been doing for the last 3 hours into 1 hour!

what a farce that was. I was in the ticket shop for an hours and a half. All i kep getting was error ,error every time. Came back to it at 3.00 and not a ticket there.
Anybody explain how tickets i applied for last time and did not get were there now this morning as limited availability?

Not sure about how well checking back will work, its a sea of sold out from match 1 to final at the moment.
Although it seems like quite a few of us spent some time trying to get tickets it looks like no one had any luck?

The systems are clearly not able to cope with the demand.
There are tickets available now because of returns from national associations and more restricted view seats becoming available.
No idea how "restricted" the view will be. I hope it is just dugouts or cameras obscuring a small part of the pitch.

Beautiful South. All tickets just because they are in the red at the moment doesn't mean they are all sold out as far as I know.
It means that they are not currently available, which means that people have booked them etc, but when bank transfers, and credit cards etc fail and more returns from the associations come in etc, they will be put back on the website. Said as much on the ticket shop website that there will be as more there towards april

Thanks for the notice oconghc2. I was able to get 4 tickets (Cat 1 obstructed view for €60 each) for Saudi Arabia v Ukraine in Hamburg. Looking forward to seeing Shevchenko knock about 4 past those Saudi's

Tickets have been popping up fairly randomly over the last few days. Generally they are only available for the less glamorous fixtures, but occasionally Holland v Ivory Coast appears. Got 2 for Costa Rica v Ecuador, €60, Category 1, Obstructed View. Happy I got them but would've preferred the Dutch game. Can't complain though.
Might be an idea for people to bump this topic when they see tickets becoming available, so as to give other Foot.iers the chance to apply?
