Breightmet Boy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I've just joined the England Supporters Travel Club. Never been to Moldova, Malta, Ukraine or Italy watching them, need to get um ticked off. I'll keep Traf busy, there's 3 of us up to now what'll be doing as many as possible, ticket ballot winners fingers crossed. Its just opened today if any of you lot fancy Germany 2024, I flew in and out for games in 2006 to save on holidays. I'll be doing a week in Malta, 2 days in Italy, overnight the rest. Obviously they won't be playing in Kiev, but it'll be a close country to it I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went pre-pandemic and loved it. Had to postpone during pandemic and it's fucked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Poland is probably favourite for the Ukraine game. Doing Naples, can’t do Malta and will think about Macedonia. Was a shit hole 15 years ago and can’t imagine in getting any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I renewed my membership last week (£55.00) I said I wouldn't this campaign but already booked for Malta in June so I may as well got to the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 How easy is it to get tickets once joined ? Last time I looked it felt like I would be joining and still not able to get tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they now do 2pts home, 1pt away games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s 2 caps for either home or away now. in answer @Big E this membership cycle would be pretty difficult as everyone wants to ensure they’ll get at the higher end of the caps table to ensure tickets for Germany Euros they still do the 70/30% split so 30% of any allocation goes in a ballot and everyone not successful in getting one first goes in that ballot regardless of whether you’ve just missed the cut off or on 0 caps highest cap total is considerably lower than usual. Max you can have at the min is 28 (based on all games from the past 2 years) as the 2 years before that were written off cos of Covid but there’s a few thou on each number. So once I renew I’ll be on 25 but there’s still a good 4k ahead of me. best option is to do all the homes, build the caps and eventually you’ll get to a number where you could get tickets in the euros as our allocation will prob be around 10k per game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What number that goes down to will depend on how many register their interest remaining 750 in the ballot however there will be an awful lot who have not yet renewed which means you can’t register your interest Edited January 26, 2023 by barrycowdrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a weird one really cos it really is just a lottery that remaining 30%. I initially didn’t get one for Milan but know a lad who did who only applied the week before (similar to your situation) so you could stand a chance but if there’s a couple of you on zero applying together the chances are poor. Did get one in the end so no harm done ukraine went on sale straight after the WC think they wanted to ride that “positive wave” and as I said before everyone is building for Germany now so games which people previously missed they now don’t. All home games have pretty much sold out the last 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2023 I going to renew and build the odd cap here and there. Will head to Germany but more for the atmosphere and if I get a ticket great. The Mrs and myself though want to do the next World Cup for a few games so will build slowly for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2023 BC explained it above - 70% is based on caps, 30% on a ballot. We did the 2006 Germany World Cup, loads of tout tickets with the grounds being so big. Paid 300 Euros for England v Trinidad and Tobago so not cheap but if you’re doing it as a one off, not too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
