UEFA on Thursday warned against buying tickets for Euro 2012 from anywhere but its own website, saying fans risked being ripped off and unable to get into games. With only weeks until tickets go on sale for next year's European championships in Poland and Ukraine, football's continental governing body underscored that uefa.com was the only authorised channel.
"You can only apply for tickets on the official website," UEFA's championships' chief Martin Kallen told reporters in the Polish capital Warsaw. "There are no other sources. All other sources are in principle illegal," he said. From March 1-31, fans can sign up for a chance to buy up to four of more than 550,000 tickets available to the general public at Euro 2012. Demand traditionally far outstrips supply - 10.4 million people applied for 300,000 tickets at Euro 2008 in Switzerland in Austria - and UEFA will choose the lucky fans by lottery in April.
