The Euro 2008 football tournament has completely sold out all of the 1.05 million tickets available for its 31 matches.
Some 38 per cent of tickets have been allocated to national federations, 33 per cent to the general public and 14 per cent to television partners and sponsors, Euro 2008 organisers said.
The remaining 15 per cent have been split between members of Uefa, hospitality, host cities and stadium owners.
Euro 2008 chief operating officer Martin Kallen said: "All tickets have been sold, not one single one left - and haven't been so for a while.
"We are obviously trying to prevent tickets being sold, but any tickets sold at this point are black-market tickets. I would recommend that no-one sells tickets on the black market, as there will be sanctions."
Some five million visitors are expected to descend on host cities Austria and Switzerland for the tournament, which begins on Saturday.
