UEFA confirms the EURO 2028 ticket sales phases and four price bands. Lottery dates, payment methods, allocations — what fans need to know to buy.

UEFA has confirmed the EURO 2028 ticket sales schedule and the four official price bands for matches across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Sales open in three phases through the official UEFA portal; resale outside the portal is voided automatically.

The first sales phase is a general lottery, open to all residents of the UEFA member territories with a registered account. Applications are submitted in a fixed 14-day window and allocated by random draw, not first-come first-served. Successful applicants are charged automatically on the registered payment method.

The second phase is the national association window. Each qualified association — including the four UK federations and the FAI — receives a fixed allocation. National members buy directly through their association portal with priority access.

The third and final phase is the residual general sale. Any remaining inventory after lottery and national allocation is released on a first-come basis through the official UEFA portal, typically four weeks before the opening match.

Four price bands apply across the tournament. Category 1 (premium central) is priced highest; Category 4 (behind goal, restricted-view rows) is the lowest. Children, accompanied wheelchair users and accessible-seating companions receive a 50 percent reduction at all bands. Payment is by major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay only; no bank transfer or cash.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply for EURO 2028 tickets?

Create a free account on the official UEFA EURO 2028 portal and submit your application inside the 14-day lottery window. Successful applicants are notified by email and charged automatically on the registered payment method.

Is the first sale phase first-come, first-served?

No. The opening phase is a lottery, not first-come. All applications submitted inside the 14-day window have equal probability of being allocated. Only the residual third phase later in the schedule is first-come.

Can I resell my EURO 2028 ticket?

Resale is only permitted through the official UEFA fan-to-fan resale portal. Any ticket resold outside this portal is voided automatically and the holder is denied entry.
