UEFA EURO 2020: Demand for Budapest tickets among highest so far!

Overall, more than four-and-a-half million requests have been received by UEFA for EURO 2020 tickets in the first week of applications.

UEFA EURO 2020 will be the largest European Championship ever held, with twelve host cities in twelve countries co-hosting the event. Interest in the tournament has been huge, and in the first week of tickets becoming available, UEFA has received more than 4.5 million ticket requests in its system. According to UEFA, the greatest interest so far has been shown in England, Germany, Russia, Hungary, the Netherlands and Denmark. The final, to be played in Wembley, has received the highest number of ticket requests for a single match.

It is UEFA’s expressed goal that football gets closer to the fans at the 2020 European Championship than ever before, thus there are twelve host cities in twelve countries instead of in just one or two, one of them being Budapest’s soon-to-be-ready new Puskás Aréna. Should Hungary qualify for EURO 2020, they will be guaranteed to play two of their three group-stage matches in Budapest.

UEFA is selling 3 million tickets for the tournament, which starts on 12 July 2020. The first period of ticket sales began on 12 June and lasts until 12 July this summer, and this sales period represents the best chance fans have of being allocated tickets. Ticket requests can be made up until 14:00 on 12 July, at https://euro2020.tickets.uefa.com/lottery/welcome_en.html
