Scotland will face Switzerland in their second group game of Euro 2024 at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.
Tickets are of course in high demand, and all official tickets for this match have sold out.
Yet not all hope is lost for those wanting to attend the fixture, as our handy guide explains.
How to buy Euro 2024 Scotland vs Switzerland tickets
Contents
The only official way to buy regular tickets inside the RheinEnergieStadion is via the Euro 2024 ticket resale portal. Fans who wanted to sell their tickets had until the deadline of 16th April to officially give up tickets that had been allocated to them, and the final resale window has now been confirmed by UEFA to be opening at 11:00 CEST on Thursday 2 May via the resale site with 100,000 tickets said to be available.
It’s worth keeping a close eye on the ticket portal as Tickets will be offered on a first come, first served basis, and last time was kept open for just 24 hours.
We know that the last ticket resale window opened in March, and demand vastly outweighed the supply of tickets, so it’s also wise to be prepared to wait in a queue on the site.
A maximum of 12 tickets can be purchased on the resale portal, with a limit of four tickets per individual match.
Prices for the group stage are cheaper than the knockout rounds – with the exception of the tournament opener with Germany – and prices start as low as €30 (£26) rising to €400 (£343) for the most expensive seats.

The Scotland Supporters Club Loyalty Points system identified who was eligible to apply for a ticket for each match, after they were allocated 10,000 seats of their own.
That method was further complicated when codes were mistakenly sent out to ineligible fans back in December.

Scotland Supporters Club advised that each eligible supporter was emailed a unique Access Code to the UEFA Ticket Portal for each relevant match.
It’s worth noting that each member aged 18 and over must also have an online account created at UEFA.com prior to the ticket application. Without an account on the UEFA website, you will not be able to apply for tickets.
If you have already created an account from EURO 2020 or any other UEFA competition, it’s advisable to check you can login ahead of the ticket resale window.
Other methods of obtaining tickets for Scotland vs Switzerland tickets
Fans can of course, look to resale sites to try to obtain tickets for this highly sought-after game.
That said, this is an unofficial means of buying tickets which is unregulated and therefore a risk.
While resale tickets for Scotland’s tournament opener versus Germany start at £550, you can bag yourself a ticket for the game with Switzerland in Cologne for a cheaper price.
A quick search on website SeatPick was showing single seats available starting at £189. This site does also advertise a 100% money back guarantee but nevertheless, we advise that you proceed with extreme caution if you buy a ticket via these methods.

Fanzones in Scotland
