I was wondering the same myself! We are heading over for our Honeymoon and want to sit with the England fans ideally.

As an official Plastic Paddy myself, I applaud the use of "passporting" to get better teams. Before I fell out of love with soccer, I travelled to Stutgart in 88, Italia 90 and USA 94 to cheer on Ireland. The fact that Ray Houghton, with the broadest scottish accent in history scored goals against England in 88 and Italy in 94 doesn't bother me in the slightest......he was entitled to play for Ireland and did so with pride. The English/southAfrican/Irish cricket team ar a joy to watch........thank God Britain used to rule 1/3 of the worlds surface eh.....shame they never really got hold of Turkey or they could win all the olympic weightlifting medals on 2012


Lest we forget...these same passporting rules allow the criminal element and kiwis to live in the UK with no visa requirement so long as granny or grandad was an immigrant......what comes around and all that.

I don't disagree with 'passporting' to another country, it's changing again once you've represented that country I don't like.

Basically you don't know the answer to the question then. Thanks anyway!

You're welcome.

Back on topic. I would contact the venue by email if I were you. The allocation of tickets seems pretty lax over here from the events I have been to, but if they expect a bumper crowd for this game, then the venue will have allocated tickets to the corporate hospitality partner already as well as the overseas/visiting fans.

FWIW, I will be watching the games from the comfort of a corporate box (perk of the job)
