The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has made additional tickets available for the European Championship matches, including the Budapest matches.

Euro 2020 is scheduled to be the 16^th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men’s football championship of Europe organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It will be held from June 11^th to July 11^th, 2021.

‘nemzeti sport’ quoted the Hungarian Football Association as stating on their website while referring to the UEFA that the Hungarian national team will play against Portugal and France in the 67,215-capacity Puskás Arena in Budapest (Hungary) in the group round.

‘nemzeti sport’ further quoted the Hungarian Football Association as stating that, “Tickets for the European Championships has gone on sale again on June 2^nd. The tickets are sold in order of application of UEFA. On Friday, June 4^th, fans were given the opportunity to purchase tickets that redeemed their tickets in May 2021. However, as only a limited number of entrants are available, it is not guaranteed that all applicants will receive a ticket. In addition to the meetings in Budapest, tickets will also be available for other matches of the European Championship. More information can be found on the UEFA website.”

In addition to a valid ticket, a security card is required to get ingress to the venue. It is important that the plastic card and the certificates presented on the mobile application are also accepted by the organizers, but their presence is not checked at the stadium before direct entry. Fans visiting the matches can present their papers at three different points from the morning of the day before the meetings (a valid identity card or passport must be presented in addition to the security certificate). They will get an armband based on which they can take part in the given match.”

The ‘UEFA’ stated that despite the recent cancellations and refunds for tickets for UEFA Euro 2020 there are several tickets which will go on sale on UEFA.com during the first half of June. The available tickets are the result of the venue changes relating to Bilbao (Spain) and Dublin (Ireland), ticket returns, increased capacities, and the release of tickets with a restricted view.

All impacted ticket buyers will receive an email outlining the purchase process, 24 hours before tickets will be made available.
