Timings of access codes

England Supporters Club Join Now for Free

I'm entitled to buy a Fans First ticket in this first sales window that's open now but I'm going to risk buying them with a couple of mates in the second sales window at 4pm so we can sit together and hopefully there will still be sufficient FF ones left to buy at that time.

Does anyone know whether you can put the access code in as soon as you receive it ie a few minutes before 4pm or is the technology advanced enough to know the 4pm-10am codes will only be recognised from 4pm onwards?

I assume people have been putting them in just before their official window opens so wanted to know if that works or should I just wait until 4pm.

The access codes work at any time, its the FA managing the timings through sending the codes out in 3 sales, not UEFA. My advice would be to have your ticket in your basket from the first window before your friends get your codes in, saving you a few mins.

You have no caps, you won't be in the 2nd window. Maybe 3rd or 4th window?

News: Pop-up party a great success!

Jon Widdows from Chingford in Essex won a pop-up party at his house for the England v Costa Rica game on Tuesday, and said it was “one of the best Tuesdays ever!” He was able to invite 10 friends to his house for a party thrown by us, and...

blogs: Natalie Sawyer: Let’s hope England can bounce back like Brentford

As a Brentford fan I’m used to suffering disappointments and England need to summon the spirit of the Bees to bounce back stronger than ever. The season before last we missed out twice on promotion from League One – on the last day of the season and in the play-off final – and I know all the players said they didn’t want to go through that again. This time round we came second to go up automatically...

blogs: John Hemmingham: No shortage of memories despite the disappointment

There we were at the stadium in Sao Paulo, instruments in hand with 10 minutes to go until England kicked off against Uruguay – it was do-or-die time for the team and we’d been waiting for an hour to hear if they were going to let us play inside. Suddenly stadium officials came to us and told us we couldn’t take the instruments in – that’s when the panic set in. We couldn’t miss the...

blogs: Natalie Sawyer: Costa Rica will be a platform for performance

I was actually live on air the moment England’s exit from the World Cup was confirmed and it was a very odd few minutes. As a reporter you usually thrive on breaking news but this was so disappointing, so deflating for the nation that I almost...

blogs: Mark Wright: Fresh blood for three points?

As an England fan I’m trying to stay as positive as I can, but it’s difficult in this situation! I was at the Uruguay game and the atmosphere was incredible, even though the result wasn’t good at all. Roy Hodgson has made changes for the Costa Rica game and it’s time for some of the squad players to come in and show us what they can do. There’s no point playing the same guys who lost the...
