A few hours before the start of the European Football Championship 2024 in Germany, remaining tickets are still available!

On Friday afternoon, a few tickets in the more expensive price segments were still available for some preliminary round matches on the ticket portal of the official homepage. Most tickets were priced at 400 euros per ticket. These are so-called prime seats. Category 1 tickets (200 euros) and category 1 tickets with a restricted view (150 euros) were also available.

Tickets were offered for around ten matches in Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf and Hamburg. UEFA is relying on a digital system for the tournament; paper tickets are no longer available. Fans can also resell tickets via the portal, as the last available remaining stock actually went at the beginning of May. A similar system was in place for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Here, too, tickets for some matches were still available a few days before the start of the tournament.

During the first sales phase last fall, the European Football Union received "over 20 million" requests, according to UEFA. As only 1.2 million tickets were available for sale, most fans were left empty-handed. Now those interested no longer have to be lucky. Anyone who wants to buy tickets at short notice can snap up the available contingents.
