• If there are more Members in the top 70% than there are tickets, The FA will allocate them as fairly as possible, with a draw for the Members on the same amount of caps that are on the fringe of the 70% allocation. Members that are unsuccessful in this draw will go into a ballot for the remaining 30% of tickets with all other Members.

• Any tickets that remain after this sale will be offered on a first come first served basis to all other Members.
• A Member wishing to return a ticket to away matches which has been purchased from The FA may apply to The FA for a refund in writing, but must return the match ticket (and application for a refund) so that it is received by The FA at least 21 days before an away match.

• For home games, the caps will be updated automatically after the game has taken place for Members who purchased their tickets in the Members’ priority sale period or used their membership number to buy a ticket in the general sale (and have attended the game). Members who purchased their ticket without using their membership number in the general public sale will have 21 days from the date of the game to claim their cap. Caps can be claimed by submitting a request in writing to the England Supporters Travel Club, enclosing the ticket stub for the relevant game.
