Souvenir Tickets

59239772 — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 20:35:00 GMT

As all tickets through ESTC were going to be delivered by smart phone app, the spring 2020 application process included the option to request souvenir paper tickets which would be delivered to people's registered address after the tournament.

As we are now having all of our tickets cancelled and refunded, any request for souvenir tickets will also be cancelled and the €15 cost will be included in the refund. This is confirmed in the FA News Bulletin. So, when those members who get tickets in the reduced allocation pay for their tickets, will there be an option to request souvenir tickets again ?

For the Nations League in 2019, UEFA offered the option to request souvenir tickets and many England fans planned to take up this option. The souvenir tickets had to be requested at the time of the ticket application but we weren't told this until after applications closed and I'm pretty sure that this option never appeared on the application page of the ticket website. When people pointed out to UEFA that the option had not been on the web page they were told that the orders couldn't subsequently be changed to include this option.

The 2019 experience makes me suppose that we will not have the option to request souvenir tickets under the proposed system for the reduced ticket allocation. This would be a pity as many ESTC members save their tickets in collections. Imagine England getting to the final and we don't have a paper ticket for the collection.

Official Programs

Anyone know anywhere in the city which sells the official program? I don’t want to be buying one in the ground and carrying it around all evening.

Genuine Fans Refused Entry

56665914 — 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.

Who was in charge of Security Yesterday?

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.

Moving on - Hungary and Poland Away

Do you think FA will take a ticket allocation?

Let’s be patient and positive

55057028 — 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!

Online Racist Abuse

62479972 — 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.

TBC Window

56763970 — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 11:46:16 GMT

Anyone else sat waiting for an email to say that the TBC window opens at 1pm ?

The Band

55021985 — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 13:37:18 GMT

Much better atmosphere without them.

Must be time for them to hang up their trumpets.

Worst thing Hoddle ever did introducing them to the games.

Upgrading membership

55021985 — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 11:10:48 GMT

Name on the ticket

62891275 — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 20:55:15 GMT

If my wife was unable to attend the final would one of my sons be able to take her place? Or would they take one look at the name on the ticket and refuse entry. Thanks!
