Was in the second row for the Brazil game and that was too low although still a good view. 17 rows back in the bottom tier should be fine though, which is where we are for the germany game.

I was there for the Brazil game and it's an absolutely BRILLIANT view.

Have got £40 tickets for this one but am apparently in the 4th row....presumably middle tier but the diagram didn't make it obvious

Sat in the upper tier for Brazil game. Similar tickets for the Germany and Israel matches. Might look at the lower tier ones for the Russia game that go on sale tomorrow. Only looking at the £25 tickets with so many games coming at once (to pay for , not the matches) and am skint after just booking our apartment in Russia!

I have done all 7 qualifiers so far.................:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Those are paid up members with access to priority sales, then theres probably an ass load with the ballot membership #s

Before Wembley re-opened there were under 30,000 members, so I would imagine most have joined the standard membership as wont go to away games. That means that the FA have made about 17,000 x £45 = £765,000 for people to have a priority on getting tickets for England matches at Wembley! Not bad!

There are still 1,639 members of englandfans+ who have zero caps. Why did they bother joining? Previously people joined so as to go into a ballot for tickets for the finals but this has been changed. To be able to apply for Austria/Switzerland ticktes you have to have meet the following criteria " this ballot will be limited to those who have attended at least one away game and four home games in the qualification period." These people are going to struggle to do that! People used to use the excuse that all away games sold out. The Andorra match had tickets left unsold so nobody can use that excuse this time. I think that the Russia match will be the same.

Israel, Macedonia & Russia will of been the undersubscribed games.

Well Macedonia wasnt undersubscribed, but it took 6 hours to sell out on the 2nd chance sale!

I agree, alot of the 0 cappers have to be some of the Japanese members left over or members from before the worldcup

I'm in the balott for the 4 qualifying games at Wembley this year. Does anyone know how this 'balott' works or does it literally pick applicants at random out of the tens of thousands in it?

I see there will be a second sale for the Germany game on the 20th July (for people with a FAN number only)

Out of 47,463 englandfans members only 28,000 tickets were sold for the Germany match!

Roughly 60,000 were sold via the ballot.


Despite attractive opposition of Brazil and Germany they have had real problmes selling tickets. Perhaps they will start to realise that people are unwilling to pay £60+ for friendly matches!

Quite! The 3 of us have always sat in the £35 tickets, which i deem acceptable as the view is still great and £35 isn't that bad when you consider what we pay for the albion.

What i read was 60,000 people applied through ballot, and those that were successful 28,000 tickets were sold.

Hence Englandfans members are getting another go
