Demand for tickets at Euro 2012 has hit a record of more than 12 million, UEFA said Friday, after an application deadline to see the championships in Poland and Ukraine closed. In a statement, European football's governing body said that a total of 12,149,425 ticket requests had been made by fans world-wide.
"This sets an all-time record for the UEFA European Football Championship," it added, noting that it represented a 17 percent increase on the 2008 edition in Switzerland and Austria. More than 550,000 tickets are available for the general public at Euro 2012. In 2008, 10.4 million people applied for the 300,000 on sale. From April 19-22, a UEFA lottery will determine the lucky ticket applicants. UEFA has said Euro 2012 ticket sales are set to generate 100 million euros.
