Spain v England ticket and ballot update

Posted by Team England at 16:16 on Wednesday 12 September 2018

Due to the short time-frame before the game, we have conducted a ballot based on our guaranteed allocation of 3000 tickets.  Should we receive an additional allocation of tickets we will then conduct a further ballot, based on the same membership rules, to allocate the tickets.

Please note that the ballot was conducted based on the caps totals prior to the September internationals against Spain and Switzerland.  Based on the 4957 members who registered for this match, the caps cut off point for being guaranteed a ticket is 18. 

The ballot results will be sent out via email today, Wednesday 12 September, and available to view on your account in due course on www.thefa.com/england-supporters/travel-club-tickets-matches.

As previously advised discussions are still ongoing with the RFEF to request additional tickets to meet the demand of all those members who wish to attend this match.    

We expect the pricing to be confirmed as £23 per ticket for this match.

How a Ballot Works
If an away match is oversubscribed, I.e. the number of members who have registered their interest in the game is greater than the allocation we have received, the tickets will be allocated in the following way:

70% of the ticket allocation will be offered to the ESTC members with the highest number of caps.  The number of caps you will require to qualify for the top 70% of the ticket allocation will depend on: (i) the number of members at the relevant time who have applied for the match; and (ii) the size of our allocation for that game. The remaining 30% of the ticket allocation will be balloted to all remaining members who registered their interest.

Successful Applicants
You will be able to purchase your ticket from 12pm Friday 21 September until 3pm Monday 24 September.  You can purchase your ticket by calling the England Supporters Club ticket line on 0844 847 2010 or via www.thefa.com/tickets.

Please be aware that group bookings are limited to a maximum of 4 members per group and each person will need to be a Travel Club member who was successful in the ballot.  If you wish to be seated as a group, please book your seats in one order.  You will need to provide the Travel Club FAN number and dates of birth of each member of your group so please ensure you have these to hand before you log in or call to buy.  We will not be able to add further seats to a booking at a later date.

Unsuccessful Applicants
If you still wish to attend the match but were not allocated a ticket via the ballot there is a 2nd chance sale which begins at 12pm on Tuesday 25 September.  Any tickets that go unclaimed in the first sale will be made available to Travel Club members on a first-come, first-served basis. 

If you didn’t register your interest in a ticket for this fixture, we cannot retrospectively add you into the ballot now that it has been conducted and so you will need to attempt to purchase a ticket in the 2nd chance sale. 

Wheelchair Accessible Tickets
We are still awaiting final confirmation of our Wheelchair allocation and will be in contact with all those who registered for these tickets in due course regarding the potential ballot and how to purchase your tickets.  We hope to have this allocation finalised by the RFEF within the next few days.

Cancellations
Due to the short time before the match please be aware that no refunds will be offered for members who purchase tickets and are then unable to attend.
