Can you imagine a father promising his sons and daughters that he has got them tickets, then explaining that they dont.
Cant believe its a sell-out at 69,000. Must be a massive segregation.

We are writing with regard to the upcoming match against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday 26 March.
Unfortunately The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has recently informed us that they will not be able to provide the ticket you have purchased for this match.
We have been asked to forward the below statement from Jonathan Ford, the Chief Executive for the FAW.
Message to englandfans
It is with regret that I must confirm that the Football Association of Wales has had to reduce the allocation of tickets for the Wales v England match on Saturday 26th March. The reason for this reduction is that the total tickets that the Football Association of Wales understood could be made available for sale was incorrect.
After we received notice of this error, we have done everything possible to protect The FA's allocation of tickets. However, I am afraid it has not been possible to protect the entire allocation and as a result, England fans will now receive 951 fewer tickets (tickets allocated in block N1 and block UN1 will not be provided). We have directed The FA to provide a full refund of the ticket price to all fans affected by this error, including any delivery fees associated with each ticket order.
I would like to make it clear that it is not solely England fans who have been affected by this error; it has also been necessary to withdraw a significant number of tickets from Welsh fans. The total number of tickets for English fans still exceeds the agreed quota of 10% of the total tickets available.
On behalf of the Football Association of Wales, I would like to apologise unreservedly for the disappointment that this will cause.
Jonathan Ford
FAW Chief Executive
As soon as this matter was brought to our attention, we have done everything possible to press the FAW to protect our agreed allocation of tickets. However they have confirmed that it is not possible to provide The FA with the tickets previously allocated in blocks N1 and UN1.
We did receive a large ticket allocation for this match, in excess of 10% of the stadium's capacity. This initial allocation has been protected. However the FAW have confirmed to us that their error relates to an additional allocation which was agreed with The FA subsequently (those tickets being in blocks N1 and UN1) and sold through englandfans on 4 February 2011.
Based on the above, I am afraid we must now refund all tickets purchased within these blocks (N1 and UN1), including any delivery fees associated with each ticket order.
We realise the above will not ease your frustrations at missing this match, please may we assure you that every effort has been made by The FA to avoid this issue.
Best wishes
The englandfans team
Bit of a piss take really

Re: Wales v England 26.3.11
Thank you for your interest in the above mentioned match.
Regrettaby due to high demand fot tickets i am unable to process your application.
All applications received by the initial deadline of 31st January have been processed.The deadline was extended to 18th February to allow members and clubs more time to submit applications although as always these would only be processsed on a first come first served basis, subject to availability.
Tickets sold our early in February so all applications received from 14th February onwards were initially held on standby in the hope that more tickets would have been released.
It has now been confirmed that there are no more tickets available for this match -it is a complete sell out.
Payment has not been taken for the tickets you requested.
Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
So that's alright then the FAW have f**ked up big time but they are very sorry and despite the fact i am a Silver club member and sent my application in on the 21st January which was well within the initial deadline i will not be getting any tickets
So i think i will reply along the lines of:
Dear FAW, Please do not send me applications for tickets for the Switzerland & Montenegro fixtures as i regret to inform you that i will not be available on the dates that these fixtures are being played and apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.
Yours Sincerely One mightly Pissed Off Welsh Fan

The problem is Jeff they should NOT have made it 5 tickets per form for Gold members coz they must have realized and done the maths from the database numbers that not ALL Gold and Silver members would get tickets if everybody applied for and orederd 5 ? Me and the mrs had a form each but we only took 5 , 2 for us and 3 for friends of ours ....... we could have had 10 if we wanted to though ! I was there for the last England game and altho I was on the database for that game my tkt form was returned the same as yours was ...... BUT I bought a tkt anyway thru Ticketline when the went on general sale . So it dont make sense to me how they have done what they have for this game ?
