How many of us going to Germany? (8 Viewers)

[LastChance]

I didn't even think it was a free kick outside the box . Anyway it's all history now. Will be down the pub for final 2 am ko for us.

2am kick off? You're gonna be wrecked by the end, mate

Penalty was given, we scored, we won. Result was justified to how the game was played, shut up

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

That was never a penalty and a booking to rub salt in. Kane momentum hits is foot in follow through. Not given in real time.

Another example of var spoiling game, its meant to overturn clear and obvious error, that was not clear and obvious error.

And yet again everyone has a different view, which means you can't be making that decision on a slow motion replay - if the referee hasn't given it , play on

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, the Referee gave the Penalty and that's all what matters.

 

[The watchmaker]

Take the headline with a huge pinch of salt but it makes me feel a little better about cheering a villa player scoring knowing that he learnt everything he knows from Carl baker and Clive Platt.

Thinking of join the England Supporters club with the hope of maybe getting some tickets for Euro 2028. Any expert on here think it's worthwhile or is it a closed shop unless I go everywhere (which I won't)? Perhaps @CJ_covblaze can advise?

It runs on 2 year cycles with the next one about to start, basically the run up for the 2026 WC. If you’re looking at 2028 then probably look at joining the back end of 2025/early 2026. I’ve done enough England home games during the current window to be guaranteed tickets for every Euro 24 England match apart from the 1/4 final which we secured anyway. Just got Cat 3 tickets for Sunday.

It's been fairly easy to get hold of tickets for most games in Germany without this, hasnt it?

Doesn’t seem to have been an issue but some have paid through the nose. Couple of lads next to us on Wednesday said they paid £800 each for theirs. Face value was £67….

 

[edgy]

Yeah I mean without being a Supporters Club member, you get every opportunity to apply for tickets.

2 rounds of balloting, then general sales. There were tickets available on general sale for every game on the day it opened up. Hard to get in first admittedly, but it could be done.

If you join now anything you earn from this point on will be valid for 2028. It goes Euros to Euros and WC to WC. Even if you’re not going to go to any away games it’s worth signing up as the 75 quid is soon paying for itself in cheaper home end tickets. If you want to sit next to someone else they’ll have to also join the ESTC as the sales windows are different.

Depends on how you look at it. We’ve paid:
Groups: 30€
R16: 50€
QF: 60€
SF: 75€
F: 95€

Due to our cap levels we knew that’s the price we’d be paying. If we weren’t so high we’d be spending a lot more.

 

[skyblue025]

I've been in ESTC for about 12 years and done 7 tournaments. You really need to go to every home game to get a good chance of guaranteed tickets. If you can squeeze the odd away game in all the better. I'd youre like CJ and do every game you get the chance of cheaper tickets. If you're only going to do a few games a season probably not worth bothering.

Thanks for that, my knowledge is obviously shite!

Jodi Jones is selling a ticket to the euros final on his instagram. Not a great look lol

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Just landed in Berlin. Missed on connecting train at 17:30 yesterday that caused me to miss the last ‘quick’ train to Berlin from Köln and had to get an overnight train.

Anyway, we’re here now!

 

[skyblue025]

Just on the train at Essen. 4 hours to Berlin.

 

[Cov kid 55]

Good luck to the Cov fans in Berlin today - hope you have a great day, ticket or no ticket, win or lose! It’s been good to hear from you!

 

[EalingSB]

Just checked in and having a burger and beer near Tiergarten. Will get in the stadium about 3 hours before as have the family here. Sun shining. Can’t wait.

 

[Sbarcher]

Will the Burbage Sky Blues flag be on the perimeter today?

 

[North York’s Blue]

Got back home around 8pm last night after leaving our hotel just after 6am, absolutely knackered today!

 

[Skybluecol]

I've only just got over driving to and from Germany for the Dutch game!!! 962 miles round trip from 230am Wed to 10pm Thurs.
Those that drove the return to Berlin, I tip my hat to you!!

 

[Liquid Gold]

If you’re intending to go to Wembley games and away games in qualifying and nations league then ESTC is the way to go but you’ll end up spending thousands through the years with the result of cheaper tournament tickets.

If you just want tickets for finals then you can pick them up through UEFA/FIFA or through the most on resale sites. It’s expensive but if you’re not following regularly then you’re saving by not having to take a few days off work to go to Finland on a random week in the autumn.

That's about as long as my flight from Bangkok to London will take tomorrow.

Crazy really! 5 hour train to Cologne (it was delayed); flight to LHR; lift to Thame to get my car and then drive to North Yorkshire…
