Have you ever wanted to attend a major international match but never managed to successfully secure tickets?
Supply and demand don’t match up when it comes to key qualifiers and the finals of major tournaments such as the UEFA European Championship or the FIFA World Cup. There are a few different ways to try to access tickets, some of which are quite frankly a waste of time.
UEFA and FIFA open up lottery-style ticket windows prior to major tournaments, and the chances of winning these are very low, especially in the later tranches once the draw for the tournament is made.
You can also try to get tickets via official national team routes, but these are perhaps even more hit-and-miss in terms of their success rate.
SeatPick is, by far, the most reliable source to make use of if you wish to attend Portugal vs Turkey or, indeed, any major football match. This is because we work with a large number of trusted ticket resellers and offer access to the widest inventory of tickets online.

Portugal vs Turkey UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Portugal have enjoyed a healthy and storied history in the UEFA European Championship, far and beyond what they have achieved in the FIFA World Cup, and as previous winners and with a strong squad, they continue to be among the favourites to win the competition.
Their one success thus far came in Euro 2016 when they took revenge against France by beating the hosts in the final, thanks to a great extra-time goal from Eder.
Prior to that win, Portugal had gotten close to glory on a number of occasions. In 1984, in the first finals competition, they secured a path through the group stages (at the expense of West Germany) before then taking on hosts France in the Semi-Final.
They lost a five-goal thriller in Marseille, with Michel Platini scoring a 119th-minute winner.
The French would repeat the feat at Euro 2000, once again beating the Portuguese in the Semi-Finals, with another legend getting the winner in extra time, this time Zinedine Zidane supplying the killer blow.
Euro 2004 was hosted by Portugal, and they duly made it to the final, where they met Greece, who had already beaten them in the group stage, and they pulled off a remarkable triumph when Angelo Charisteas scored the winner in a rather one-sided game.
As of 2023, Turkey have only qualified for the UEFA European Championship finals on five occasions. In 2000, in Belgium and the Netherlands, they beat the Belgians in the final group game to knock the co-hosts out before they lost to Portugal in the Quarter-Finals.
Euro 2008 proved to be the best display that Turkey have mustered up to now, and on that occasion, they defeated Croatia on penalties to set up a mouthwatering Semi-Final with Germany, with Phillip Lahm scoring a dramatic winner in a 3-2 loss in Basel.
Both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020 saw Turkey eliminated at the group stage phase.
Portugal vs Turkey Head-to-Head
Turkey have fallen to Portugal in the UEFA European Championship finals on a number of occasions.
Their first encounter came at the The City Ground, home of Premier League side Nottingham Forest at Euro 96, with Fernando Couto scoring the winner for Portugal as Turkey finished bottom of their group.
In 2000, the two teams met in the Quarter-Finals of the competition, and two goals from Nuno Gomes saw Portugal safely through to the last four.
At Euro 2008, the two teams were once again drawn into the same group, and Portugal made it three wins from three against the Turks, with Pepe and Raul Meireles scoring the goals in a 2-0 win in Geneva.
