  1. I had two of my mates accounts as they were working and sat on two different browsers (Chrome and firefox). The first one I logged in at 09:40 and sat in the waiting room - the next was logged in at 09:55. Both are still sitting in the waiting room at 11:47. Just to "have a look" i logged into my own uefa account (i already have tickets) at 10:30. And I was redirected into the ticket portal at 10:55!!? Weirdest queuing system in the world it seems 😞 -starting at the back or just randomised?
  2. When the DB rail tickets were opened my dad bought one to get from Frankfurt Airport into Stuttgart. Today - BA changed his flight time so he’s now arriving later, and will likely miss the “specific” train he booked. The DB rail site suggests “no exchanges or cancellations” but is a bit vague about what constitutes an exchange (ie name or destination or time
.or any of the above). Anyone else booked this kind of ticket and understands the German Ts and Cs printed in the ticket? Clutching at straws I think but reluctant to book another one in case the same thing happens again!?
  3. Same here know people on 11 jus got 3 codes😳
  4. 13 points!?! if this is the case then SSC must know who got a ticket on anything less than 16 points and can surely take it back?
  5. Yes it’s just luck in both cases but luck and chance are two separate things - the chances of you getting a ticket if you put one in your basket prior to 10 am were improved. Also, the chances of you getting a ticket if you could login at 10am rather than 12pm we’re improved. I totally agree the main issue is the ticket portal. And a ballot doesn’t need to be non-digital. Randomiser code is very common, it could still give those selected a specific time window to login and pay.
  6. Poor word choice on my behalf. Random is absolutely correct in a ballot. Random is not who can refresh their screen the fastest at an unspecified time before a species time that tickets will go on sale. And that’s even before taking into account all those 200-300 people who may not be able to be online within a set 3 hour window (which actually turns out to be a minus 5 minute window)
  7. Totally agree. I also noticed a sold out banner a few minutes before 10am. Think they need a new ticketing system (again!?) or to be more transparent to say “it’s 10am but we are going to update it at 9:50 so you can queue from then. surely just a straight ballot like the olden days would be fairer than an online scramble at a set time where the parameters of getting in a queue or not seem completely random. My main gripe is that FIFA still think it’s ok to give a 5% allocation to away fans. That’s pathetic.
  8. With the mobile tickets - my phone is going into self-isolation between leaving the house and getting to the ground. So the pre-match photos may be a bit light 😀
  9. Yeah the text/email is pretty instant. I'm doing a couple of these a week just now, they are easy to do - but not pleasant......unless you like gagging and things stuck up your nose(each to their own!?). The 30 min wait time between doing the test and the result is the most nervous time of the week!
  10. Yeah I’m not quite sure how it worked. I had kept my Croatia ticket from the original ballot but that game wasn’t displayed as an option - only the Czech game. I had lost cat 3 Czech tickets in the ballot and when i went to select these it said only 1 was available, so took the 2 x Cat 2 that it offered. Got England through SSC đŸ‘đŸ» well done everyone who got tickets, see you there!!
  11. Got 2 x Cat 2. Amazing! That’s me got all three games now. Not danced around the house like this for a while đŸ„ł
  12. Think I’m just bitter - but can’t get my head round the numbers. If the allocations are meant to be percentage based and the capacities are nearly double at Wembley then Hampden (22500 vs 12000)...... then we have either done very well getting 1900 at home or done very badly getting 2600 “away”??
  13. Straw poll as I am on 12pts and want to cheer myself up after that shambles of an “away” allocation..... who on 13 and above is NOT buying a Wembley ticket đŸ€”
