UEFA begins processing Euro ticket payments

UEFA has begun the general ticketing phase of allocating Euro 2016 tickets.

With the national ballots now complete, the governing body has now started the process of making the draw for general tickets to games.

Applicants had originally been advised to expect payments to be taken on their registered credit cards a fortnight ago but errors with the national ticketing phase caused a knock-on effect.

Fans took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to report that their cards had now been charged, although UEFA has yet to inform successful applicants which games they have secured tickets to.

If you are waiting on @UEFAEURO tickets, check your credit cards now! Payments being taken. #EURO2016

Confused as to whether or not I've just got some @EURO2016 tickets. Application is either pending or successful. Anyone else?
