2025 Euros Precompetition

I really think it'd be better if countries were officially allowed to choose whichever athletes they want. You can plan everything else for a TF well in advance if you want to, and aside from injuries it's within your control. Would make more sense to do the same here.

FYI, the ticketing website now says tickets for the "sold out" sessions will go on sale again on 6 January.

More tickets were released today. Fair warning - the website is quite frustrating, continual issues with chosen seats actually being unavailable. However I eventually managed to get both AAs and EF day two tickets

Well remembered! I was too slow off the mark, so it's still just the women's quallies on the Monday for me. Although I'm now supposed to be in Manchester until mid-afternoon on the Sunday, which makes the logistics... interesting.

Hopefully there will be a convenient flight from Manchester airport that evening. Trains in Germany are pretty good if there’s nothing direct. I couldn’t sleep last night and found that I could get there by Eurostar and a change in Frankfurt for only £139. That’s cheaper than an upcoming domestic journey to Portsmouth!

If not, the train and national express to Liverpool from Manchester Airport are both pretty frequent.

Thanks both. Current plan is to get the late Easyjet from MCR to Berlin, check into a hotel there for a couple of days and get the train down to Leipzig first thing Monday.

Could we change the title of this thread now please? As the location is now settled. Maybe it could be a 2025 Euros pre competition thread, and then we can start new ones for the various rounds or keep it all on here, whatever the consensus is in May.

On a sort-of related note, the dates for the 2027 Euros in Armenia have just been confirmed, 27 April to 3 May. Not sure EasyJet go to Yerevan.

The main route between Yerevan and Western Europe is the Air France flight to Paris.

I had no idea Yerevan was hosting. It is an amazing city, I would encourage anyone to go. (Although bear in mind that you may need to get a new passport if you have stamps from Turkey or Azerbaijan). I will definitely go if the dates work for me, but we have a lot of flights to Yerevan.
