In general, the official start of Euro 2012 in Ukraine it is odd June 8
and lasts till 1st of July 2012. The final will take place on 1 of July 2012 at 21.45 p.m. at the Olympic Stadium (NSK Olimpiyskyi) in Kiev. The German
pop-star Oceana Mahlmann will perform the official song for Euro 2012.

It’s a high time to hurry up to buy a ticket for Euro 2012. The tickets are sold exclusively on line.

If you want to witness this grand event, hurry up to but the tickets for the match the tickets.
It would be better to use for booking the official site UEFA. The price would be from 500 up to 6000 gruvna. Talking about
VIP ticket, the price is from 2000 euro and up. On 13 of December the lottery is
going to start and everyone gets the chance to win the ticket for free of charge. The
golden and platinum package will be included the tickets for VIPs and members of
football associations. The cost would be from 2900 euro, expensive, but high-quality
service (includes dinner, drinks, souvenirs with a logo of Euro 2012, car parking,
entertainments). The most expensive price would be for the final tournament in
Kiev. Anyway, if you are not lucky in the lottery, you might be able to purchase
tickets later.

Plenty of hopes both on Polish and Ukrainian part, enormous effort of both countries trying to show their best possible image, appetite and curiosity of European supporters hoping to discover new parts of the Continent. The whole thing was decided SIX years ago.


Now, a month before the event, politicians recalled a Tymoshenko cause.
I criticized Yanukovych years before in this forum and I would not vote for him if I were Ukrainian.
Ukrainian democracy is fragile and unripe but political boycotting of the Euro 2012 football tournament is destructive and cannot bring anything positive. Even if Yanykovych would give up and would make a positive gesture a minute before the EURO 2012, he will immediately return to his bad practices when the soccer players leave Ukraine/Poland and go home.
I do want the EURO 2012, I do want its beginning in Warsaw and its end in Kyiv. I do not want political meddling and I hate any suggestion of moving Ukrainain part the the games elsewhere.
Some politicians (luckily political opposition) in my country (Poland) are crazy enough to support the boycott and even call for moving the event to Poland. It would be extremely stupid and harmful!
