Irish fans don’t need to be too disappointed about our Euro 2016 ticket allocation

Get your tickets, you son of a bitch. Because Jonny loves ya.

Ireland fans hoping to make the trip to France this summer for Euro 2016 have started the hunt for tickets since Monday morning. UEFA have put on sale 800,000 tickets for the 24 competing countries and fans will have until January 18 to get their applications in. To be in with aa chance of getting tickets, fans can create an account and go through the process over on the UEFA site. The Irish allocation of tickets for their group games has been updated today by the FAI and although initally it loks like grim reading, don't be too disconsolate June 13 v Sweden - 13,000 tickets out of 81,3338 at the Stade de France. June 18 v Belgium - 6,000 tickets out of 42,115 in Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux. June 22 v Italy - 7,000 tickets out of 50,186 in Stade Pierre-Mauroy. But don't worry, 42 per cent of tickets for each game are intended for the general population (those figures above are just the allocated amount for Irish supporters). There will be loads left over after this process. So we're sure you can do some schmoozing to your cousins in France and call in a favour. The Italy, Belgium and Sweden fans are bricking it at the prospect of having Ireland in their group anyway so there could be even more left over. Fans will be notified in February whether or not they're getting their mitts on golden tickets. Or just Euro 2016 ones. Ticket prices will range from €25 to €145.
