When the groups for Euro 2016 were drawn last December, Irish fans immediately circled Ireland vs. Sweden as a potential cracker for quality football early in the tournament. With the days and weeks between now and kick-off evaporating before our very eyes, it's time to get your plans in order for the game on June 13th, 2016 at the Stade de France.
There are, of course, a number of different ways to get yourself a front-row seat to witness the action first-hand, and we at Balls.ie are constantly being asked where to buy Ireland-Sweden tickets for Euro 2016, so we put together a guide you through the potentially lethal process of buying the best ticket to suit your needs.
Official site
For some, it's nice to have the peace of mind that comes with purchasing the most guaranteed genuine product right from the tournament organisers themselves. The UEFA.com ticketing section is packed with details on stadium sectioning, disability access, and even an "eco-calculator" which tallies up the most environmentally efficient way of getting to-and-from the stadium. UEFA, saving the world one European tournament at a time.
Packages
Look, we understand, most people are too busy to take actual trips abroad, let alone spend copious amounts of time planning them. If you get a cheeky free weekend, it's likely because you worked your ass off all week to make it happen. For those, we present the package holiday option. Sites like ClubTravel.ie give fans the option of an all-inclusive payment that neatly wraps up flights and game tickets in a neat emerald green bow.
Resalers
There is nothing you won't find on the internet, and those wishing to dig a little deeper into how they buy their tickets will find an absolute torrent of bargains and rare options. Really wanted a certain seat but it sold out? Looking to save a tenner for that extra pint at the stadium? Head to somewhere like ViaGoGo.ie for some steals and deals.
Touts
Perhaps you're a brave one. Perhaps you didn't get tickets with all your mates, but you're up for a laugh anyway. One option is to get the flights, tag along, and then hope to score a half-decent view of the game. Make sure to compare any scalped tickets to real ones before purchasing. We all know someone with a horror story about a €500 useless piece of paper.

This is the ultimate way to embrace the spirit of Euro 2016. Where to buy Ireland-Sweden tickets for Euro 2016? How about going to the game with none at all? You always hear about fans trying to blag their way into big games, and most of these stories get dismissed as hearsay, but the evidence is there. It can be done. Just look at the two Irishmen who snook into last year's Super Bowl in New York. They simply acted super-confident in front of any security of ticket-checkers, kept a low-profile and ended up with seats worth $25,000. Not only that, but their story was covered all over the world. Could a stealthy Euro 2016 be your ticket to worldwide envy?
