USA vs. England tickets

I am an American living in London but US Soccer store wont ship to non US billing address. Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem. In the end I went to www.thefa.com , registered for a FAN number and brought tickets in the general sale this morning. got tickts in block 118 in the end, right next to the away section.

thanks very much, see you there

How strict will Wembley be with USA supporters in the non-US section? I'm also in England, and a broke college student to boot (who's trying to get to 10+ matches over the next month and a half as it is), so I'll probably be getting the cheap seats up top and get my USA atmosphere in the night before/at the bar the day of. My plan was to put my T-shirt on over my jersey and my scarf in my pocket when I go through the turnstiles and then put them back on when I get to the seats and just not be too obnoxious. This shouldn't cause any problems, right?

It shouldn't, but it will.

Don't wear the colors, keep your mouth shut and sit on your hands.

I'm in the same situation as other yanks living abroad and can't get tickets through US Soccer. Will they still seat you in the US section if you purchase the day of the match?

i got two extra tickets when i ordered thinking that i could get more people to travel with me than i could.... if someone wants them, i will gladly sell them at face value once i get them

Which to me, isnt worth saving a few bucks.

This is going to be a very fun game, and having 2,000 US supporters together at Wembley Stadium against the English is gonna feel like a World Cup game for us.

The atmosphere in the section is gonna be a lot of fun.

I just bought one ticket up top. Normally I'd agree with you, but it would cost an extra 70-80 dollars to get a US one and then ship it safely to England, which could be the cost of tickets for 2 other English league games. To do a whole semester in Europe with the current exchange rate, you have to skimp on everything. I'm sure for those of us that have to go that route, it will be still be crazy to see USA play in Wembley.

Thanks to my fellow Bigsoccer posters here who offered to help me out. As I informed them I now will not be able to attend because things are getting ramped up for me on my project. I had hoped to slip out for a week before things got moving along.

I originally had thought I would not be able to make it out but recently my plans got changed. What is the best way to get tickets in the US section this late?

your best bet will be to ask around here and hope someone else has a ticket or two that they wont be able to use. USSF has already turned in the tickets to the FA that were ordered, but maybe you could get in touch with USSF and see if they can somehow get you tickets.

Hey i was wondering if yoiu still had those two extra tickets i am in need of them very badly i am luckily going to be in europe for the first time on this day and this is like a dream come true US vs England and if you have them please mail me back thanx so much!!!!

Pretty sure tickets are still on sale: http://ticketing.thefa.com/

Speaking of tickets, has anyone who has purchased tickets for this game online actually received the tickets yet?

USSF has said that tickets will be shipped between May 1 and May 7

thanks. i didn't realize that had been stated. I found the old email and it didn't give me any information. again, thanks.

yeah, it wasnt in the email. I got impatient and called them

Im still in need of an extra ticket for a friend overseas who desperately wants to sit with us or as close as possible. If you have any info, it would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!

Much like FCDallasAddie, I have a good friend who has decided that he is going to fly out for the game and really wants to sit in the US section. If anyone has an extra ticket for that game, please PM me.

tickets can still be had from the England FA....

........... in the US section? I'm looking for one ticket in the US supporters section.

I think I posted this in the wrong thread so here goes again. I just got this email from US Soccer:
