Euro 2016 Attendances

Wed Jun 22, 2016 5:32 pm

The Group B attendances have all been a good few thousand below the capacity of the grounds. Is this down to the idiotic UEFA ticketing where so many go to sponsors who then do not take up the allocation?

More tickets could have been given to the relevant FA's.

I had heard there was an excessive amount of press a the games.

The Wales/ Russia game was about 7,000 off capacity, that's about 20% of the capacity, that's on hell of a media area.
