Ballot tickets Maximum of 1?

So back in 2019 I brought 2 sets of tickets, 1 for me and one for my dad. Throughout the several ballots so far, neither of us have been successful.... until today. I'm successful, my dads not. Now I'm going through to buy a ticket(s), I can only buy the one. 

I get that it needs to be fair and everyones name is draw out of a hat... but surely it should be done on the actual order itself. Right now, I have a ticket available to buy, but I won't be going on my own... so whats the point?

Anyone else been successful, but don't fancy the idea of going on your own?!

    Everyone was balloted separately to ensure the caps system could be used as fairly as possible.

    My honest advice, its England v Germany, in the last 16 of a tournament at Wembley. I wouldn't question going by yourself if I was in your shoes.

    On the bus,train,tube plane,you are never really alone, and Mr Mobile phone with your ticket on it,will keep you occupied.

    Get yourself there

    Visit a pub, or the ground early and start nattering to others on their tods.

    This isn't one to miss and you'll meet some different people.

    I'm in the same boat, on my own, as I've lost access to my son's email account so no idea if he has been successful or his access code. But for £42 a ticket, I've bought and happy to go on my own.

    If for any reason you don't want to go on your own, i'm desperately looking for a spare ticket just to be there. Looks like im going to miss out on this unless I get a stroke of luck :)

    Gary, I would suggest setting up a new email for your son and then getting him to change his account email, either via his login on here or via ESTC at the FA. Get him to call them and ask/beg to be resent any email regarding the ballot.

    Ring the ticket office, after being on hold for an hour I found out my son had got one but there seems to be an issue with some emai addresses. Gave me the code straight away and sorted it.
