Tickets to a Ukraine group stage match in next year’s European soccer championship being co-hosted by Ukraine and Poland are still available, according to Europe’s soccer governing body’s website.
The Union of European Football Associations online ticket resale platform lists ticket availability to three group matches taking place in Group D – Ukraine’s group – one of which is the June 19 match between Ukraine and a to-be-announced opponent in Donetsk.
Only the most expensive ticket category is available, at 120 euros with a 10 percent markup and 10 euro administrative charge. Category one tickets seat spectators in the main and opposite stand.
The final draw of national teams into groups will take place in Kyiv on Dec. 2.
Sixteen national teams will compete in a total of 31 matches to be crowned European champions. No fewer than 1.4 million fans will be expected at the stadiums and the matches will be broadcast live in more than 200 territories around the world.
All three ticket categories are also available in the June 11 group D match in Donetsk ranging from 30 to 120 euros, and the June 15, 2012 group D match in Kyiv. Both matches won’t feature Ukraine.
UEFA’s ticket re-sale platform is the only authorized way to buy tickets from people offering their tickets and will operate until March 1.
