Ticketless

Received the following e-mail this afternoon:

Dear Mr Blogger from Weil am Rhein,

Unfortunately your Application with the Customer Reference Number xxxxxxxxx has not been successful in the lottery for Tickets for UEFA EURO 2008™.

It is possible that further Tickets may become available for sales at a later stage. If you are still interested please regularly visit www.euro2008.com.

Your UEFA EURO 2008™ ticketing team

Well, what can you say about that? I applied for tickets for all six matches in Basle hoping I may get some scraps, but nothing. Null. Zilch. Niente. Contrary to the final statement in the e-mail that offers a glimmer of hope, further tickets won't go on general sale at a later stage (read the last paragraph of this link).
