After looking at every euro to pounds conversion possible, I finally had the bollocks to submit my final application for ballot tickets. I mean, I know I wont win everything I applied for, but, what the fuck do I do if i win everything I've applied for?
Anyone else done theirs?

Do you have to have been to a certain amount of England games to qualify?
You just apply for the day/city.
Applied for e600 worth of tickets in the south of France, don't really care which countries I see play (if I get any tickets at all !) - would be nice if UEFA were a little more specific as to when they were taking the money.
i think its good that serious England fans like The Organiser have a chance to get tickets, but for the rest of us, it seems to me there is little chance unless you have some corporate assistance. Apart from the tickets themselves there's the small matter of the hiking of hotel costs.
If anyone does get tickets and wants to sell, I would be interested. I've got a buddy who is very seriously ill and got the idea that a perfect way to celebrate his recovery would be to take him to Euro 2016, since we did Stuttgart 06, and Innsbruck 08 together. Since he is Scottish, it really doesn't matter which teams we would see :-)
Odds aren't as bad as I feared tbh. I purposefully didn't do things like the final or semi's or anything as it is a bit of a waste of time. Between me and a mate we have applications worth over £3k, so I'm hoping we at least get a match.
They are just tickets from UEFA, so when Englands games are announced then the FA will be able to sell the allocated England tickets, I'll also be applying for them too, will have about 16 caps by then and still probably stand a slim chance but fingers crossed!
Ended up with the shooting on Woolwich Common.
That is the great shame - a huge percentage of that 11m will purely be buying to sell on.
And the hotels often show as being sold out (esp after the draw) as they are reserved for big companies/foorball family etc - they usually become available again further down the line.
I remember earlier this year when I went to the England game in Turin all tickets were personalised and they wouldn't let you in without your passport.
