It is going to be the third and fourth seeds - it is gonna be a duff game probably, but we'll go and stay on for the first England game probably Dave, it's not the 3rd and 4th seeds you have got, unless they have changed the way the draw is made this time. Yes, teams are put into pots for seeding but the 1st seeds don't have to go to position. You won't know for sure until they make the draw

According to reports, it's already been agreed that Brazil will be F1, in the draw. This means that they will be able to make travel, accomodation and training arrangements, well ahead of all the other countries, and potentialy avoid Germany, until the Final. What an absolute disgrace ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) Except......................... I've got tickets for F1 v F4 ![:-*](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/love/love0051.gif)

Germany are definitely A1
And the second places teams were seeded last time too
then 3 and 4 were a free for all
if you look at the venues the big ones seems to host level 1 and 2 countries

It was only in Euro 2004 that they decided, for some strange reason, to draw the teams into spots within the groups, after they had already been seeded and put into the groups. It actually worked for us, because we had some great games, but from what I read today, there will be a straight draw - 8 top seeds will be A1, B1 etc and so on down to H4.

that means with my game being A3 against A4 it will be Uruguay vs USA or something like that ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) I do hope they draw for the numbers again, just the revive the hope of seeing England!

Sadly (for them) it backfired. The place was flooded with them. At 3 games, I saw them being flogged for well below market value - as low as 10 Eruo's! Won't happen for Englad of course, but likely to be ok for lots of other games.

The only thing about buying off touts - will the tickets have your passport number or name on them? How would you get around that?

The only thing about buying off touts - will the tickets have your passport number or name on them? How would you get around that? Every tournaments I've been to, it has been declared that measures had been taken to stop tickets being sold on the Black Market. It's never stopped it happening. Even at England v Germany in Charleroi, tickets were changing hands outside the stadium. No personal checks were carried out. I had 12 spare tickets for Euro2004, and sold them all at face value (one to Kilburn White). No one I sold them to had any problems. The authorities have to make the right noises, but in reality can do very little. Up to 60,000 fans entering the stadiunm at about the same time - what can they do? Check everyones passport, I doubt it, and can you imagine the aggro if they tried to stop hundreds od supporters who may have paid over the odds. I've been to well over 30 tournament matches, and never been asked for I.D. I'm sure you'll be ok
