It stops automated bots from buying up all the tickets. Doesn't stop human touts but it at least levels the playing field. It should have been in from the start.

Wouldn't the Ticketmaster-type 'identify the figures below' thing have been enough though? I actually couldn't tell if there were mountains or grass in some of the photos. ;)
Yeah, Just meant as Nugget has said it stops the developed software programmes 'bots' that do the keystrokes in a fraction of the time that a human can. Any Tout who is serious will be using these and hence will be picking the spares up well ahead of any joe blogs fan.
Pain in the a$$ I agree - but did level the playing field.....I think
Limited number of tickets going on sale on the portal today at 3: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/ticketing/index.html
My Italy tickets arrived this morning by courier
Yeah my Switzerland Romania ones came on Friday. I haven't received the 'extra tickets' from the FAI yet though.
My tickets for the three games arrived by post this am. Happy days. Now all we need to avoid are air traffic controllers' disputes and fuel shortages due to strikes in France.
Nice one, I came home to An Post docket to pick them up in the post office, presume it's them anyway.
Not strictly Euro 2016 and a desperate long shot but, due to work commitments, I didn't think I'd be about Cork for the Belarus game tonight and now I am. If anyone has a spare ticket, give us a shout please! Looking very bleak.
