Category splits

Announcement made today says all Wembley games under subscribed only advice given regards Wembley is for fans first being over subscribed..looks to me that cat 3 for groups is oversubscribed 7880  applied for cat 3  50% of 12000 = 6000 - 30% leaves 4200 for those in the 70% guaranteed a tick in cat 3 I know they said we could get over 50% but even so ? Last 16 and q/f under 5000 applied over the 3 category’s so far , suppose people are going to miss out if they pick wrong category am I right here ok both instances .

    Are we expecting another update from the FA before the deadline?

    Another ESTC member on another thread suggested there may be but God only knows what length and busyness the ESTC teams days are at the moment.

    What with scores of members still joining/upgrading and with the associated work / questions that generates and their keenness to get things right for any updates it'll be a job and a half for this small team currently.

    The updates have been really useful so far. Debating whether to change my application from cat 3 (with box ticked to go up to step 2) for semis and final. I only have 8 caps so probs should

     As Matthew says ,the ESTC guys are doing a great job, and are probably very busy right now.

    So asking questions on here first can hopefully help take a bit of pressure off them.

    Do you mean the question about how the FA give priority to high cappers for their choice of ticket category ? I didn't ask the ESTC team this question. I can't think of any way of doing it other than starting at the top of the caps table and working down the list.

    If you assume this is how things are done and this tells you clearly which category to apply for, then go for that category. If you are on the cusp between two categories, my own inclination would be to play safe and apply higher, provided you can afford the more expensive ticket.
