What do I need to know about tickets?
As in the first phase, around a million tickets are for sale. After the second sales phase is completed, 2.2 million of the total 2.7 million tickets will be gone.
However, this time tickets will be allocated to supporters of the qualified teams "in close cooperation with the national associations concerned" following the final tournament draw, according to UEFA, who have more information on the tickets allocated to different countries published here.
There are three options for Germany fans. The largest number of tickets will go to the National Team Fan Club (Fan Club Nationalmannschaft), which has around 55,000 members. There was also the option of registering an independently organised fan club with the German Football Association (DFB). They also receive a fixed number of tickets.
Another option is to register on your own. To participate in this, you have to pay €5 for the costs of the registration and the process.
Tickets for any games played by the German team in the knockout rounds from the round of 16 onwards will only go on sale after the group phase. In all cases, tickets will be distributed in the order in which registrations are received.
When it comes to the cost, fans may have to dig deep - but deals are also available. The cheapest tickets in the regular segments cost €30, while the most expensive will set you back €1,000.
Who will play when and where will be decided at the group draw on December 2nd in the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie.
A total of 21 teams have already qualified, while three more will be determined in play-off games in March 2024.
What else should ticket buyers know?
Each person can order up to four tickets per game.
According to UEFA, the tickets cannot be returned.
“If you were successful in the raffle, you must pay for all tickets that were allocated to you,” it says. The recommendation is therefore to only apply for games that you actually want to attend.
UEFA is making it possible to resell tickets through official channels, however, the association points out that the resale of tickets can't be guaranteed.
The tickets are conditionally transferable. If you are unable to attend a game for health reasons, for example, you can pass your ticket on to a friend or family member after submitting the details of the new ticket holder.
What happened in the first round of ticket sales - and what happens next?
As we mentioned, the first 1.2 million tickets have already been allocated.
The public round of sales kicked off on October 3rd and ran until October 26th on the official UEFA website, with the football association reporting that around 20 million people applied for a coveted ticket.
Tickets were allocated through a lottery system, with successful and unsuccessful applicants being notified by email or on the UEFA fan portal.
