Want to watch England’s semi-final in Trafalgar Square? ACT NOW!

It may have escaped your attention, but there is a really-quite-surprisingly-cool-looking Euro 2020 Fan Zone in Trafalgar Square. What an arena to see England’s inevitable and epochal triumph in the much-delayed tournament. There are rows of suitably distanced picnic tables beneath the stern maritime gaze of Admiral Lord Nelson, so you can safely go absolute apeshit when our boys trounce whoever they’re playing.

There’s only one slight spot on this blazing sun of football appreciation, and that is getting hold of this sporting Golden Ticket. Very decently, though, tickets are being allocated via a ballot so you still have a chance of bagging one. The ballot for this Saturday’s quarter-final game against Ukraine is now closed, but assuming England get past them and into the semis, you need to get your skates on, cos the ballot for semi-final 2 (Wednesday July 7) closes on Monday July 5. 

To enter, go to the official Fan Zone website. You can only enter the ballot to get a maximum of two tickets, so if you’re lucky enough to have several mates, you’ll have to get organised and do separate entries. NB: under-18s have to be accompanied by an adult or they won’t be admitted. Don’t forget about the Football Village in Potters Fields Park by Tower Bridge, too, though remember that they are NOT screening England games, so you can take your kids (and any sensitive adults) along with complete peace of mind.

So, good luck you, and good luck England!

Enter via the Fan Zone website by Mon Jul 5.
