Spain v England ticket chaos as RFEF link error leaves thousands missing out | OneFootball

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, general sale for Spain v England at 13:00 descended into confusion when the expected purchase link failed to appear on the match page.

Minutes later, the link appeared within the Spain v Croatia listing for 29 September at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, an unexpected location for fans following the RFEF’s published guidance.

Supporters who logged on punctually searched for the England fixture and found no active buy button, while tickets were being released elsewhere on the site.

As word spread on social media, an alternative link began to circulate, yet for some it came too late. Available seats dwindled and many who had waited in the place they believed correct were left empty handed.

The federation set Wednesday for the general sale following a Tuesday presale reserved for Atlético de Madrid members.

The match is scheduled for Sunday 15 November at 20:45 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and has generated significant interest.

Frustration centres less on how quickly seats went than on where the access point was placed, creating a divide between those who found the alternative route and those who did not. The sales process added further confusion to already heavy demand.
