  • Not everyone who registered an interest will buy a ticket so you may have more chance of a ticket than you think - best of luck!

  • In the past the FA have let all the people who qualify for a ticket through the 70% loyalty allocation know that they have been allocated a ticket.   Why has this not been done this time?   Are we all going into a ballot?

  • Annoying, booked the flights & hotel for this game. Only got 3 caps so probably haven't got a chance.

  • don't worry peter ,im in the same boat mate, we can all go in the home end together lol !

  • We definitely deserve an answer from the Italian FA (FIGC) considering their shocking home support. I mean really, they could have charged us a frankly shocking amount and it's near certain that the England support would still have filled 3000 seats.

  • This is all very typical of the FA and the way EF is run. There is never any consultation with the fans and we are kept in the dark about everything until the last minute. They either don't understand (or care) that people need to arrange travel etc. The only thing they seems to be well versed out is the priority sale for home matches which lasts for a weekend and starts about 6 months before the game, like the Lithuania sale. As someone quite rightly mentions, they don't mind giving 20000 tickets in Wembley to Ghana, Poles & Scots etc but cant even secure 3000 for us in Turin. If its not your fault FA, why not come out and say? I'm getting very tired of following England through EF and I guess lots of others are given the poor membership stats this time round.

  • So the tickets go on sale in 10 days time ...... We now know how may ...... But we still don't know the price !!!!!

    I could of driven over to Turin and got the information quicker than you lot !

  • Every match goes to a 2nd chance sale. Based on those numbers, probably everyone who wants a ticket, will get one - based on the usual drop-out rate from ballot to sale.

  • Adam Coatham it is very irresponsible to raise peoples hopes without any factual knowledge. As has already been suggested if there are no pull-outs there will be approximately 2900 vying for 2100 tickets. Do you honestly believe 800 people who registered will no longer want to go?

  • @ Jake - I'm sure they'll be extra seats given to the FA as the Swiss did in Basel, though clearly it won't be 800 more (unless the FA pull off a blinder).

  • kevan- you forgot to take out the 17 non travel club members on 24 caps and above

  • A message for the newer members.  I think you should all get one eventually and shouldn't panic at this moment.  A lot of people will have registered but won't bother to get one.  I reckon quite a lot of tickets will go to second chance sale and the only game in recent years where people missed out was Estonia last year.
