UEFA Opens 2nd Round of Euro 2012 Ticket Sales

UEFA has started taking ticket applications for 2012 European Championship matches from fans of the 16 competing countries.

UEFA says it will sell at least 6,000 seats to fans of each team at each of the 24 group-stage matches.

Tickets cost €30-€120 ($40-$160) for group matches. Fans living in co-host nations Poland and Ukraine get cheaper prices in local currency.

UEFA will distribute tickets by lottery after applications via its www.uefa.com website close on Feb. 29.

A further 1,000 tickets for each Euro 2012 match are available in travel package deals.

UEFA says fans will receive 85 percent of the tournament's 1.4 million tickets.

A first sales phase already allocated 500,000 seats.

Euro 2012 is played June 8-July 1.
