tin Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Just wondering if anyone on the forum got lucky in the Englandfans ballot tonight? I'm on ten caps and got **** all, yet I'm reading tales of people on two caps getting multiple tickets That makes the whole process an absolute mockery IMO.How did the rest of you get on?

albany P reds Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Lucky, very lucky!I was on 5 caps and got no tickets.At least on those games i'll get the chance to put the city flag out as i'll get in there early.For the other games i'm going to leave it late, hoping there not checking where the tickets have come from.

I'm still furious I haven't been given anything. But the whole system is a farce in my book. The amount of time and money I've spent to go to every England game I could afford to go to has been worth it for the experiences, but not the rewards. I was quietly hopeful of getting one ticket but, between a group of three, I was sure one of us would get at least one ticket and we got **** all! How people, who barely go to a game, can be allocated a World Cup ticket for not folowing the team, especially when there's loads of people who've just missed out on the automatic tickets, or 70% as englandfans calls it, is beyond me. It's a pure joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pure joke! Obviously i'm well happy but i understand your frustration. I would be more than happy with the 1 cap 1 entry, 5 caps 5 entries etc in the ballot system.This then rewards the people who just missed out on the 70/30 split.

Andre_The_Giant Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm on 6 caps and got the Trinidad & Tobago game through Englandfans.I think the system could do with a little bit of tinkering, though I still think it works ok and rewards loyalty/commitment as it stands. The 1 cap one entry thing would seem wise for the 30% in the ballot.Can't wait till the World Cup!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesco Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm managed to get all games all the way t the final but am on 21 caps. I know of a few people who were on the boarder line for getting tickets ad only got Paraguay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolian76 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Me and a mate are on 2 caps and got tickets for the Trinidad match in Nuremburg, all booked up for a 3 day stay in Prague with a coach to Nuremburg on the day of the match, very happy.

BS10 RED Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 A all new to this how do you build your caps up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesco Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Basically you get one cap for a home game and two caps for away games, so the more games you go to the more chance you have of getting tickets. Used to be 1 cap for away games and non for home so one cap for Azer away and 2 for Wales away. When you apply for tickets though they split the allocation into a 70% - 30%. The top 70% cappers who applied are garanteed tickets and eeryone else goes into a ballot for the rest of the tickets. It's not a bad system as it does allow people to get onto the ladder but also rewards the fans who have travelled most over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
