Spain v England ballot information
Following our e-mail to Travel Club members on Friday 7 September advising that the allocation of tickets for the Spain v England fixture on Monday 15 October we would like to provide the following update:
We have been allocated 3,000 tickets by the Spanish FA (RFEF). We have requested a higher allocation to meet the demand of those who registered their interest. In the meantime, whilst we await further news from the Spanish FA we have conducted a ballot based on our guaranteed allocation of 3000 tickets.
Based on the 4,957 members who registered, the cap cut-off point for being guaranteed a ticket is 18.
The ballot results will be sent out via email today, Wednesday 12 September, and available to view on your account from Thursday on www.thefa.com/england-supporters/travel-club-tickets-matches.
Tickets for this match are expected to cost £23.
How a ballot works
If an away match is oversubscribed, I.e. the number of members who have registered their interest in the game is greater than the allocation we have received, the tickets will be allocated in the following way:
Seventy per cent of the ticket allocation will be offered to the ESTC members with the highest number of caps. The number of caps you will require to qualify for the top 70 per cent of the ticket allocation will depend on: (i) the number of members at the relevant time who have applied for the match; and (ii) the size of our allocation for that game. The remaining 30 per cent of the ticket allocation will be balloted to all remaining members who registered their interest.
Successful applicants
You will be able to purchase your ticket from 12pm Friday 21 September until 3pm Monday 24 September. You can purchase your ticket by calling the England Supporters Club ticket line on 0844 847 2010 or via TheFA.com/Tickets
Please be aware that group bookings are limited to a maximum of four members per group and each person will need to be a Travel Club member who was successful in the ballot. If you wish to be seated as a group, please book your seats in one order. You will need to provide the Travel Club FAN number and dates of birth of each member of your group so please ensure you have these to hand before you log in or call to buy. We will not be able to add further seats to a booking at a later date.
Unsuccessful applicants
If you still wish to attend the match but were not allocated a ticket via the ballot there is a second chance sale which begins at 12pm on Tuesday 25 September. Any tickets that go unclaimed in the first sale will be made available to Travel Club members on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you forgot to register your interest in a ticket for this fixture, we cannot retrospectively add you into the ballot now that it has been conducted. If you forgot to register for any reason, you will need to attempt to purchase a ticket in the second chance sale.
Wheelchair accessible tickets
We are still awaiting final confirmation of our wheelchair allocation and will be in contact with all those who registered for Disability Access tickets in due course regarding the potential ballot and how to purchase your tickets.
