Rosemary Milne — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 21:47:41 GMT

I can’t buy a priority ticket. I’m a ESTC member and renewed my membership 3 months ago. The Wembley site does not allow me to buy a ticket. They went on sale today. I get error message and told I am blocked

ESTC Account not linked - Cannot Buy Priority Tickets

JoeB41 MK Dons VLOG — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:04:14 GMT

Hi, I am trying to buy tickets in the home end and I renewed my membership already. However, it comes up as “An error occurred while

processing your request

According to our records you are not

eligible to purchase tickets for this

Anyone know how to solve this?

Deutschlandticket subscription 49 Euros

Peter Browne — Thu, 30 May 2024 08:19:04 GMT

Has this been covered already?

I'm considering getting a subscription for June and cancelling by the 10th of June, but can't be certain that means I can still use the ticket until June 30th.

Everywhere I have read it says the same thing in translated English:

"You can cancel your Deutschlandticket subscription by the 10th of each month to the end of the calendar month."

Souvenir tickets looking to swap

Stuart Franklin — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:27:31 GMT

I have a spare souvenir ticket for Scotland and Germany from the Euros. Would anyone who got a Spare Czech rep or Ukraine (by mistake) ticket like to swap?

I am putting together some frames with programs before the end of the year. The two spare I got I paid extra for and then received them from Uefa at a later date.

FAO Garford, Matthew & Peter

Philip Hackett — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 12:49:00 GMT

Good Afternoon Gentlemen,

Garford: The programmes have arrived at Acorns and the tickets to the charity event on Sunday (unfortunately I am working for the NHS on Sunday). Once again thanks you very much for such a generous offer. I am going to speak with a member of the fund raising team and see if it is feasible to put the programmes up for auction with Matthew already offering an opening bid. Normally at Acorns we hold an auction on an event night where all sorts of items are on sale with people physically present to bid on the lots. With Covid it is impossible to hold such an event so hopefully the fund raising team will have the knowledge to set up an on-line auction. I will keep you informed as to any progress.

Once again thank you all for your generousity and I assure you Acorns are extremely grateful.

Hungary away

Ian Sanderson — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 23:08:35 GMT

Me and my son would like to go Hungary away

We have not. been to a game away game together so want to make it ok for him

We are struggling with travel and hotel if it happens

Can anyone help with ideas

Plus any do and don't for travelling with england away

Thanks for any help

Thank you all for the ride

Peter salnicki — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 20:36:34 GMT

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who provided help and hints along the way for the last 2 years. Not forgetting the banter...

Having been to see loads of England home games in the 80s and early 90s, I am now a zero capper (yes I hear you all booooooo) , this is mainly down to suffering with anxiety these last 20 years.

So it was a big goal of mine to go to at least 1 game, especially having not been to any Wembley games in 1996. Having lost my 2 group games in the ballot , I gambled and bought a hospitality ticket for the 2nd knockout game ... talk about winning the lottery ! The whole day was amazing, and I was proud of myself.

I then got a ticket for the Final thru the ESTC, as I had got lucky in the original pre-covid ballot. So much has been written about the day I dont have to repeat it, but being honest those scumbags pretty much ruined the day. Why cant people just enjoy themselves without ruining it for others eh. So its been hard not being so negative about the day, but having read many others experiencing the same has actually helped me realise it wasnt just me. I know how down I couldve been if I hadnt gone. I really felt for you guys who go home and away, and to have the game you dreamed of being ruined by the idiots..

The ESTC guys get some stick, but I found them to be really helpful if I emailed them for any help / advice.
So thanks again guys , and i hope you all have safe trips to Poland / Qatar etc. Maybe I will be back on the forums for the 2030 World Cup in England :-)

Stay safe Pete

Anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms from the tournament?

Peter John-Baptiste — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 13:30:27 GMT

I'm bad enough when the group stage goes down from three games a day to two games, let alone when its all over.

It's worse this time obviously as I've never followed us all the way to a Final before, but the defeat mixed with the tournament actually ending has left me with an empty feeling these last two days.

Ii keep looking at the UEFA website hoping they'll announce some more games :-))))

EURO2020 Match info packs and team sheets

Nigel Pond — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 11:14:06 GMT

I don't know if this has been posted before, but there is a media section on the EURO2020 website, where you can download and save PDFs of match info packs, team sheets and a whole host of other stuff.

https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/presskits/uefaeuro/index.html

PK - Match info packs

LU - Line ups (team sheets)

Although I don't expect that the FA will produce / distribute match info packs, it would be nice to have access to team sheets for England games, in the same way that UEFA make these available!

It's not very often I say this, but thanks UEFA!

Qualifiers.

Tony Grumbt — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 07:27:48 GMT

So now that's all over when do the tickets England's Home game sin the Qualifiers go on sale? I am looking a t Andorra at Home.

Well Done England.

Giorgio Pin — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 17:00:24 GMT

What a shame. So close. It would have been great for English football but not to be. It has to be said Italy were the better team even though they couldn't score more goals than us. I have heard it said that Gareth made a mistake with the late substitutions and penalty takers - I tend to agree but I'd say it's the only mistake he's made.

Our boys did well. Hopefully this will fire them up for Qatar. Come on England!!

Who was in charge of Security Yesterday?

Eric Everest — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 14:17:05 GMT

Who was in charge of Security Yesterday? Was it Wembley or UEFA?

As per a lot of other posts here today - they need to be accountable. They cannot be accountable for thousands of drunks turning up on Wembley way and drinking / misbehaving for hours on end, but they can be for the stadium security.

Ticket problems as others tailgated in unchecked

Ann Lond Caulk — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 13:13:11 GMT

What a fiasco.

We got to the COVID check at 18.30 but no one was checking covid status or activating tickets.
We found a guy outside gate D who activated our tickets, then went to gate C to get in. There were loads of young guys trying to tailgate and no stewards stopping them. I got Into the stadium ok but my partner didn’t.

The steward had no idea where to tell my partner where to go to fix his ticket problem. They were not helping genuine ticket holders nor where they stopping the tailgaters. There were lots of people with legitimate tickets that wouldn’t work. At the ticket office they appeared to know they had a problem and eventually gave my partner a paper ticket. Other people at the ticket office had received emails saying their accounts had been hacked. Was this a computer glitch, had UEFA been hacked, did someone clone / sell the OCR codes?

Did anyone else have the same problem with their ticket? My ticket said “activated manually” my partners ticket said “Activated: G gateVIP”. We activated them by Gate D at the same time.

Whilst waiting for my partner to get a ticket I watched the same guys sneaking in, being thrown out and trying again and again. A very upset guy complained to the head steward saying they are sitting in our seats and they don’t have tickets. What is even more shocking is one of the stewards gave a thumbs up to one of the tailgaters when he successfully got in! There were far more people than tickets sold.

I am going to complain as lessons need to be learnt, but I doubt if anyone will listen.

Moving on - Hungary and Poland Away

David O'brien — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:47:59 GMT

Do you think FA will take a ticket allocation?

Online Racist Abuse

Stephen Madden — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:39:50 GMT

How horrible is it seeing the media thriving off the the racist abuse that our players received last night? - there’s now no mention of how well our young team played in this tournament anymore.

England fans all around the world are being pointed at and classed as “racist” because some people sit behind fake social media accounts sending DMs to our players.

The thing that annoys myself personally are these fake accounts seem to be from other Countries themselves. I find it hard to believe that hundreds of English people would sit and write tweets/DMs or whatever thinking they would get away with it. Now days it’s so easy to trace someone, get their address, find out where they work etc.

Over the years of following England, seeing Jermaine Defoe score two against Holland when we were 2-0 down to seeing Sterling, Rashford etc scoring in the Euros/qualifiers, these players have sent us flying all over the terraces and we love them for it.

Roll on the away qualifiers/friendlies so that the loyal, genuine, travelling fans who love the lads to bits can continue to support them through good and bad times.

Carnage

Lynne Ogden — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 09:53:55 GMT

At times I was embarrassed to be an England fan yesterday!!!

Having been lucky enough, through the ESTC membership to be re-allocated my group, semi-final and final tickets I awaited each game with hope and anticipation

One of my favourite moments was standing outside the co-op before the Croatia game on Wembley way, drinking my lemonade singing 10 German bombers with the fans.

Move forward to the final - pissed up individuals wearing England shirts throwing beer cans, traffic cones and anything else they could get their hands on!!! It was a beer fuelled riot!!! Very scary at times!!!!

Storming the stadium!!! Accept you don’t have a ticket!!!!! Many of the true fans who have been loyal England fans for years and have endured the dross games during the cold and wet!!! Deserved their seats. They didn’t want to share it with a pissed up yob who’d got in for free!!!

Don’t even start me on racial abuse!!!!

Yes we lost on penalties!!!! Their colour is not why they missed!!!! Their performances in the previous games are the the reason we were in the final!!!

I am proud of every single member of the England team- from coach to players to back room staff.

Come on England, I still believe - Qatar

Genuine Fans Refused Entry

James Cross — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 09:35:02 GMT

Absolutely shocking yesterday. Several fans including myself were outright refused entry as they said the stadium had gone into lockdown. Had to stand outside and miss the first 30 minutes until someone let us in. Shambolic. Compensation should be given for this.

Wembley security yesterday

Clarke Buckeridge — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 04:01:22 GMT

Something I raised earlier in the tournament was the pathetic security arrangements. After the shambles of last night, quite frankly... we do not deserve to host a home tournament in this country until the security at Wembley is giving a complete overhaul.

When we went to Russia, you had private security, Fifa volunteers, the police and the military all carrying out proper ticket/person checks on everyone at certain checkpoints. It all went very quickly and without fuss.

The scenes yesterday at Wembley were truly ridiculous, from how easy it was for people to get into the stadium for free to random fights breaking out between stewards and fans. What's the point in collecting the caps now when you can just waltz in un-challenged? It was good to see some honest England fans challenging these free loaders but it shouldn't be their job.

The current security arrangements are not fit for purpose. Something needs to happen.

Let's be patient m .

Paul Hardy — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 03:10:21 GMT

Blah blah blah.....it's coming home, more like they threw the game away, totally in control of the first half then

normal bottle job.

Replica Ticket vs souvenir ticket - is there a difference?

Matthew Exon — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 01:07:00 GMT

Replica tikets are on sale online: https://store.uefa.com/uk_en/uefaeuro-2020/memorabilia/replica-tickets.html

Will this be the same as what we get for the souvenir ticket option?

A Message to Travel Club Members

Team England — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 14:08:52 GMT

This tournament has thrown up more than the unexpected. 19 months ago, we were opening applications, running ballots and getting excited about the prospect of Euro 2020… that all changed pretty drastically!

Everything was turned upside down and we had to make some very difficult decisions regarding tickets, refunds and how we would re-ballot the whole tournament. Throughout the entire process we have tried our upmost to be as fair and transparent as we possibly could

We have also tried our best to secure as many additional tickets as possible throughout. This has resulted in late emails and quick, short notice, sales. That being said, our allocations for the knockout games have either run close to, or been over, what we had back in 2019 before the stadium capacities were reduced

We know some of you may have missed out on tickets to certain games, and we are sorry that we could not accommodate everyone, but trust us, we would have done so if we could

To those of you who are attending today, whatever the result, enjoy the occasion. You will play an important role during the match and we know that you will create a special atmosphere, just as you do at every game, home and away.

Lastly, we wanted to thank those of you who have taken the time to thank us either in person, via email or on the forums. It does not go unnoticed and every member of the team is grateful for the kind words.

Come on England!!!

ANY HOPE OF A TICKET?

gerald parkes-davis — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 10:53:48 GMT

Hi all

Any chance of a ticket by 14:00 today as per the email yesterday ?

Crazy money the touts are selling for.

Will go up to a grand.

Let’s be patient and positive

Mark Whitcombe — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 09:41:53 GMT

For those of us lucky enough to be at Wembley tonight let’s be positive and patient in our support. The last two matches in block 507 I’ve been unfortunate enough to be in front of people who are not happy from the first to the last whistle.

Southgate has got everything call right, yes it was a hard watch at times in the group games but we won, we have got better as the tournament has progressed and are in a final. So let’s be patient and support the team in a positive way, no booing, no saying this is ***, no calling for Grealish from the 5th minute, and when he does come on say his overrated. (Yes someone actually said that).

If you can’t go to a Euros final and support the team in a positive way, you might as well stay at home.

COME ON ENGLAND! IT’S COMING HOME!
