If you check your bank statement you may know if you’ve been successful in getting tickets for Euro 2016

A simply astonishing number of Ireland fans applied for tickets for Euro 2016.

Uefa received over 275,000 applications for tickets from Irish fans hoping to be there in the flesh to see Martin O'Neill's side in France this summer. With just 32,502 tickets available in total for the group games against Sweden, Belgium and Italy in meant an anxious wait for fans to see if they were successful in the ticket ballot. On February 3rd Uefa emailed all applicants to tell them that they "plan" to start debiting money from the credit or debit cards at some stage this week. They've waited until the last minute but now money has started disappearing from the bank accounts of thousands of Irish fans and they couldn't be happier. https://twitter.com/TheKingOfPing/status/698167098246356992 https://twitter.com/Brianfurey94/status/698165885186367488 https://twitter.com/ConorHamo/status/698166322811768832 https://twitter.com/robdrog/status/698160201346715648 It is not yet believed that email confirmation has been sent to any Ireland fan informing them whether they have been successful or otherwise in their application.   So if you have a look at your bank statement you may have an idea whether or not you are going to France next summer. If they have then Bon Voyage. If you have a Euro 2016 ticketing story please get in touch by emailing editorial@sportsjoe.ie or tweeting us @SportsJOEdotie
