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?

blogs: Sue Smith: England’s forward focus can rattle Uruguay

Before every tournament most people are guilty of thinking a bit higher of England than they probably should - me included, I thought we would beat Italy 2-0! But despite the result I think we must take lots of positives from the performance. It was great to see the players actually go for it in the match and I thought we were quite entertaining. Raheem Sterling was great - every time he got the ball he looked dangerous...

How do you stop Luis Suarez? The key for England will be communication and getting tighter defensively than they did against Italy. There was an uncertainty and a vulnerability to England's defence, particularly down the left, on Saturday night...

There is no better place to be as the leader of England’s band than at a World Cup in Brazil – but the one downside is we don’t know if we’ll be allowed to play inside the stadiums! This country has two loves, music and football...

Now might be a good time to remind everyone that Spain lost their first match in the last World Cup – and look what happened to them! And so, to take our minds off the result in Manaus, I decided to have a look at one of world football’s most...

blogs: Adrian Bevington: The connection between England’s players and fans at a World Cup cannot be overestimated

Even now I can recall it perfectly. Lucio stumbled and miscontrolled when heading towards his own goal, and Michael Owen seized the moment. I knew at that point, in Shizuoka in 2002, that Michael would score. And I have to confess that at that moment I really did think we are going to win the World Cup. It is an emotion that takes over you, and although it didn’t turn out to be correct, one of the great pleasures...
