European Soccer Championship - All million tickets for 2008 European soccer championship sold out

All 1.05 million tickets for the 31-match soccer tournament in Austria and Switzerland that starts Saturday have been sold. "All tickets have been sold, not one single one left - and haven't been so for a while," Euro 2008 chief operating officer Martin Kallen said Sunday. "We are obviously trying to stop tickets from being sold on the black market. But all tickets now being sold are black-market tickets."

Euro 2008 organizers said 38 per cent of the tickets went to national football federations, 33 per cent to the general public, 14 per cent to sponsors and TV partners, with the remaining 15 per cent being broken up between hospitality, UEFA members and host city and stadium owner factions. A ticket for the June 29 final at Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna will cost between 160-550 euros ( US$ 250-855)
