    I’m guessing block 215 is club wembley and I’m hoping it has access to the hospitality sections bars

    The tickets are now on my phone and the bar on the screen marked "Log Out" is no longer there and so presumably this was programmed to disappear once the tickets were in place.

    You can still log out if you want to, though the method is by no means obvious. Go to the screen with 'My Tickets', 'Transfer History' etc. At the top it says "Logged in as: your email address". If you touch that wording, a box pops up allowing you to log out. You might have to touch it a few times to find the sweet spot that brings up the log out box.

    David there are 3 in our group.....do all 3 need this app...or just the lead booker?

    Stephen, when you first posted this question, I described what had been the situation at the Nations League in Portugal. Then, the lead booker had been allowed to transfer tickets to the other members of the group or keep their tickets on his phone. This latter option was useful when one of the party did not have a compatible smart phone.

    The FA has now issued a News Bulletin giving guidance on downloading and using the mobile ticket app. They are saying that you're only allowed to keep a guest's ticket on your phone if the guest is a child. Tickets for adult guests must be transferred to their smart phones. Adult guests who do not have a compatible smart phone will have to go to the ticket office for a paper ticket.

    Once the lead booker has downloaded the app and logged in they will be able to see all the tickets they have purchased. The lead booker will then need to transfer any other tickets in their order to the Travel Club members they originally purchased tickets for

    Members will be able to keep multiple tickets on their mobile if they are entering with a child. Stewards have been advised to allow this process for anyone entering ground with someone under the age of 18

    If you do not have a smartphone you will be required to head to UEFA’s ticket office on match day

    In reply to david Preston:

    I guess the cut off points have to be somewhere but the Cat 1 tickets do seem to be very close to Cat 3 territory which seems unnecessary with such limited capacity. For example, my mate originally had Cat 3 along with me whereas he's now had to buy Cat 1 for Croatia and is also towards the front of Block 504 whereas I've seen someone else on here say their Cat 2 is towards the back of 504 whilst I've got Cat 3 in Block 508, just 4 blocks along.

    Ultimately, my mate is very pleased he has the opportunity to attend the game as he appreciates many fans would love to be there at any price. But I do question the logic of some of the categorisations given how much more expensive the Cat 1s are and the fact that the 1500 or so Cat 1s that will have been sold for each match could easily be accommodated closer to the halfway line/in the lower tier and still retain the required social distancing.

    Just send us good old fashioned paper tickets that appear to have worked for the last 50 years.
    My club have tried to implement an E season ticket or something like that, this idea lasted for 24 hours and then a choice has been offered for E ticket or card, this is the better option to give the paying customer a choice

    Has worked well for touts at least. There's been noticeably much less touting going on so far for this one, and we don't have the usual newspaper stories quoting tout websites selling tickets for several grand.

    If it wasn't for the touts in Russia, we wouldn't have seen a match!  :-)

    blogs: Tim Vickery: A World Cup in every sense

    Two World Cup Finals are being replayed in this week’s 2014 semi finals. The Germans seek revenge for their 2-0 defeat in 2002 when they meet Brazil – amazingly only the second time these giants have ever met in the tournament. And Holland were the closest – so far – a European team has ever come to winning the World Cup in South America when they hit the post with almost the last kick of normal...

    blogs: Sue Smith: England can bounce back

    There’s no doubt England can bounce back – the women’s team did it after the 2007 World Cup by going all the way in Euro 2009. Although we lost against Germany in the final of those Euros, there was a sense of achievement and progress...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Cool-hand Luke can handle price-tag

    Having a hefty price tag can weight heavy on your shoulders – it certainly did for me when I moved back to Chelsea in 1997 for £5.5m. At the time I was the most expensive English defender and there was a lot of pressure that came with that. I found it quite hard and Luke Shaw now finds himself in a similar position after moving to Manchester United for £30m. It does make you look at things differently...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: It’s time to give England’s players a break

    There’s no doubt England’s players will be disappointed with the way things panned out in Brazil, but they deserve a break after the mentally exhausting season they have all had. They’ll feel like they are coming home prematurely because going into these tournaments you always think that you’re good enough to progress, so to lose their first two games and be out of the World Cup this early will...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Fresh faces give us cause for hope

    In my years following England I’ve seen some great players come and go – and teams rise and fall. I can say with pride that I saw every game David Beckham played for England and I have also been privileged enough to have seen all of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard’s appearances. Watching the Costa Rica match it was hard to think that it might be both of their final appearances. I remember Gerrard...
