Scotland game tickets sell-out in minutes for Euro 2020 fan zone
Fans acted quickly to get a table for the games against Czech Republic, England and Croatia.

Scottish football fans had their fingers on the button this morning to secure tickets for the Euro 2020 fan-zone at Glasgow Green.
Tickets went on sale last Tuesday but an "operational" mistake led to thousands being snapped up, and Scotland games being sold out, before the 10am kick-off time.
Those that were momentarily secured before the intended sale time were refunded and the tickets added back to the portal which resumed at the same time today.
Scotland supporter Charlie Harris jumped on the early release last week and saw his tickets ripped from his grasp, but was one of the lucky ones this morning. He said: "I'm really happy to have managed to get some tickets.
"My friends and I got some last week but they were unfortunately cancelled because of the early release and mistake with the time, so delighted to be going.
"It should be a great event and the closest thing to actually being in the stadium.
"Can't wait and hopefully the sun is shining for a Scotland win!"
Tickets booked after 10am last week are being honoured.
The fan zone organisers held their hands up for last week's mistake, with a Glasgow Life spokesperson saying: "We unreservedly apologises for the disappoitnment caused to fans who waited until the advertised launch time and subsequently missed out."
Scotland are playing against Czech Republic in our opening fixture on Monday, June 14 at 2pm, before two evening kick-offs against England, on June 18, and Croatia the following Tuesday.
