The ballot for tickets has now been completed and emails have been sent to members who registered. The caps cut-off was 17.

  • What a poor allocation. In berlin there was thousands of English in with the germans.

  • Yeah agreed completely with the above comments. I've got flights and didn't get a ticket was expecting a much larger allocation and once I heard only 4099 applied I thought it was a certainty. Spent 75 on the membership, tickets for Malta, Scotland, Spain, Lithuania.

    But it looks like if this was meant to be the easiest away game to have a chance in going to then Scotland. France and Malta away will be impossible.

    The FA need to push for extra 900 tickets or there's gonna be me and 899 other Englishman in the German home end.

    Makes no sense whatsoever, more frustrating the fact that people with zero caps got tickets in the ballot without ever going to a game before. I know someone with 18 caps who didn't get a ticket. It's a ridiculous allocation.

  • Rang up and I got told it was 50/50 if we get tickets but it's looking unlikely as it said on German fa that they want sell out of home fans

  • That's a pathetic allocation, gutted to have missed out!

  • Only rejoined this campaign,Was 1 of the lucky ones,successfull in the ballot on 4 caps role on March

  • i dont really understand why it says "the caps cut-off was 17", but then numerous people have mentioned how they got a ticket with less than 17 tickets?

  • Is there anyway of getting 5 tickets together...all have been allocated in the ballot

  • I think the FA need to look into claims that people with less than 16 caps have secured a ticket whilst those with the required amount of caps have missed out.

    We pay a lot for our travel memberships and the cap system is a good one but only if it is correctly administered to ensure regular fans get a ticket in the event of a small allocation.

  • 17 was for the first 70% tickets still 30% of tickets were left to sale to lower cap members
