What are the chances of actually obtaining tickets for the finals? And when will advance sales begin?
0 comments Posted by SK at 10:44 AMSales will begin in spring 2007. Tickets will be sold via the Internet and, if demand exceeds supply, they will be allocated by the drawing of lots. Anyone applying at the beginning of the sales procedure stands a very good chance of obtaining tickets. There is a maximum of four tickets per match and per person.
Just over 1 million tickets will be available for the 31 matches. They will only be sold via the Internet (euro2008.com) from spring 2007. Anyone who orders tickets at that early stage stands a good chance of success.
In June 2008, the Organising Committee will have around 100 coaches and 600 cars at its disposal to transport teams, referees, VIPs, sponsors, media representatives and staff members. The official Hyundai-KIA fleet will eat up more than 2 million kilometres in Switzerland and Austria during the tournament alone. The shortest distance between two match venues is 85 kilometres (between Zurich and Basle), while the longest is 1,032 kilometres (between Geneva and Vienna).
Approximately 1,200 people (including producers, cameramen and cable carriers) will be working to provide high-quality TVcoverage of all 31 final round matches. According to Alexandre Fourtoy, CEO of UEFA Media Technologies, the host broadcaster has three main tasks: “Firstly, it produces the international picture signal from all eight match venues. It looks after thebroadcast partners and provides them with the necessary technical infrastructure such as commentary boxes and studios. And lastbut not least, it ensures that the international broadcasting centre in Vienna operates smoothly.”
Around 7,000 media representatives are expected, including some 2,500 newspaper journalists, 700 photographers and 3,500 TV and radio employees (including technicians). The host broadcaster will have around 1,200 staff.
