Mr Nice Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Got 4 games myself. 2x 2nd round games in lille and st. etienne. Consecutive days though so looks like one will be going back in the resale as logistically, st etienne to lille is do-able but a mission. The other 2 are a QF in Bordeaux and a SF in Marseille. Looking forward to next summer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 When is the draw for the groups/group games? Also, when will I be able to try and have a second stab at getting tickets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime in November or December and yes there is a window for specific nations games in the group this takes place December-Jan after the draw Also the resale window is in March Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Just had a look and the draw is December 12th, so two months today! Hopefully I'll pick some up in the resale window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah, I'm sure you can log in and change it. They won't send any tickets out until at least March/April. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Our current plans for a road trip: Thu 16 Jun - C1 v C3 (Stade de France) Fri 17 Jun - D2 v D4 (St Etienne) Sat 18 Jun - E1 v E3 (Bordeaux) Mon 20 Jun - B2 v B3 (Toulouse) Tue 21 Jun - C2 v C3 (Marseille) Wed 22 Jun - E2 v E3 (Lille) Then flying back out for: Wed 6 Jul - Semi Final 1 (Lyon) Some absolutely crazy driving distances, not least the 1000km between Marseille and Lille on consecutive days... but gets us around as many of the different stadiums as we had tickets for and minimises the number of days annual leave required to try and keep the wife sweet.

ShyBaldBuddhist Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Got tickets for a match in Lille. Just checked flights and doesn't look like they fly direct from Manchester, currently being quoted £1300 and 8 hours travelling time Safe to say I'll be driving and get the ferry over.

Rob1981 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Eurostar goes straight into Lille. Much easier than car/ferry if you're only going there and don't need your car to be able to get about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Everyone still excited about going to mass public gatherings in France then? **** me. Already seen one clown on FB suggesting they get the tournament taken off them, presumably he is also signed up to the ridiculous "England could host it tomorrow!" brigade, despite the terrorist threat over here being equally serious.

Rob1981 Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well pleased with ours :thup: Based on a path we'd already mapped out and booked, the ones we're using are: Germany v Poland (Paris) Czech Rep v Croatia (St Etienne) Belgium v Ireland (Bordeaux) Russia v Wales (Toulouse) Ukraine v Poland (Marseille) Italy v Ireland (Lille) Ukraine-Poland probably the worst on paper, but it's in the final round of games so probably at least one of them will go into it with qualifiication to be decided. Loads going spare out of the ridiculous application I did, think I am giving up England v Russia AND England v Wales because the venues don't fit with our route Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Coleman Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 We had a bit of a mare of a draw, hoping to have success selling back to UEFA when that opens - does anyone know when that is?

bluebirds4life Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah any Wales tickets gimme a shout, but ask Chops and Penge first as I believe they went to a few away games this campaign.

Harryseaess Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm going to one game and its Germany v Poland, I'm happy with that .

Timmy Howard Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 My one group stage match is Croatia vs Spain which isn't too bad And then a 1/4 Final in Paris which should be France (if they dont flop) vs Runner up of C/D or E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengedragon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Lens is booked out completely now I think Train London to Bordeaux on the opening day, our first game there the next day. basing ourselves down there for the duration as game 3 is a short hop to Toulouse Seriously considering giving game 2 a miss as it's the other end of the country and will be chaos Reasonably hopeful of tickets but just planning to have a great holiday regardless Haven't booked to come back yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 The arrogance :mad: Yeah, UEFA, just swap it with Germany-Poland that evening, make them kick off in the afternoon instead. They don't have any office workers or schoolkids BBC and ITV will ask UEFA to move England Wales kick-off after Euro 2016 draw UEFA will be asked to switch the kick-off time of England's showdown with Wales. The rivals meet in Lens on Thursday, June 16 at 2pm, which will mean workers and schoolchildren are likely to miss the Euro 2016 Group B match. Both ITV and BBC are to ask UEFA about pushing the scheduled kick-off time to an evening slot in order to allow as many people as possible to watch it. Broadcasters were successful in persuading FIFA to bring forward England's clash with Italy at the World Cup in 2014 from 2am to 11pm BST. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulthard's Jaw Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 They won't move the Germany game because German TV is as powerful as the Brits, but I could see it being moved to a 5pm kickoff with Norn Ireland vs Ukraine moving to 2pm.

chopra_hill Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Staying in Lille for England v wales. 17 miles. Whoever said accommodation is a problem just look on the ibis website Booked flights home yday. Bordeaux to Bristol for £70. About a 3 hour train from Toulouse but £325 cheaper. First and third in our group play in Lille or Paris in the second round which is great to drive or train back over. If we finish second then might have to give Nice a miss as flying back out for that just 3 days later would be a costly killer. Of course when we finish fourth it won't matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
