Tip 3: How to buy tickets for the Euro 2012 finals

Final of the European Football Championship 2012 will be held 1July in Kiev, at the stadium "Olympic". Tens of millions of spectators will watch the main match of the championship on TV and on the Internet. But it will be much more interesting to watch the game from the rostrum of the main stadium of Ukraine. There is a reasonable question - how to buy tickets for the finals of Euro 2012?

Instructions

Book a ticket for the final match on the Internet, atone of the intermediary sites. Tickets for the final and other matches of the European Championship, which were distributed by the UEFA organization, ended in early spring 2012. However, for those fans who do not want to put up with the fact that Euro matches can only be watched on TV, there is a way out. The truth is to take into account that it will be necessary to overpay considerably, and the risk of losing money is present. The ticket sale system in UEFA is still imperfect, therefore some part of them is in the hands of speculators. But a long time to get upset about the poor organization of sale and injustice in life is not worth it. Either there is a desire and an opportunity to buy a ticket for the main Euro match, or not. If you still decided to acquire your cherished ticket at your own peril, then choose the site you want to purchase and fill out a special form where you should indicate your name, contacts , shipping address and payment method. Then it remains to receive the ticket and pay. In which order you do this, it depends on the specific site-reseller. It would be safer to first get a ticket, and then transfer money to the seller's account.

Order tickets for the final match by phone. Perhaps a little more reliable will personally communicate with the ticket seller before paying for the purchase. Of course, experienced "craftsmen" can convince by phone that tickets are real, and the price is quite objective. By the way, as for the price of tickets, during the preliminary sale they could be purchased no more than 600 euros. Now it is cheaper than 1000 euro to find a ticket is almost impossible. And, on not the best places. Phones sellers can be found on the sites involved in the sale of tickets for the Euro.

Expect a miracle at the entrance to the stadium. It is possible that on July 1 in Kiev you will be able to buy a ticket for the final match at the entrance to the stadium "Olympic" a few hours before the match. The cost of tickets is likely to be cosmic, and no one guarantees that you will not be sold a fake. However, if the desire to see the main football match of the year is stronger than the fear of losing money, then you can use the last saving straw. Next time try to be more prudent and get tickets in advance, at least a few months before the start of a football tournament of this rank.
