FAQ
Questions.
How does voting work?
Comment your choice on the Instagram reel for that part. Each part has a two-day vote window. Only Instagram comments count, and if you comment more than once, your latest comment is the one we count.
When does the next part drop?
Once the vote closes and the winning choice is made into the next part. Follow @decidethecareer so you don't miss it.
What do I get with a Season Ticket?
Your own Season 1 ticket number, your @ on the team sheet in an upcoming part if you opt in, and a place on Top Fans. It costs £4.99 for Season 1.
When do Season Tickets go on sale?
Soon. Follow @decidethecareer on Instagram: we announce it there first. Ticket numbers go in order of purchase, so being first to know is your best shot at a low one.
When do names lock?
Names lock when we start making the next part. Buy after that and you'll be on the team sheet in the part after.
Can I get a ticket without my name on screen?
Yes. The team sheet box at checkout is unticked unless you tick it. Changed your mind later? Email us and we'll take your @ off Top Fans and out of any part not yet in production.
Is there an age limit?
Anyone 13 or over can watch, vote and join the waitlist. Season Tickets and boosts must be bought by someone 18 or over.
Are these real clubs and real people?
No. The story is fiction and the Blues, the Reds and the Whites are made-up clubs. The football rules in the story, like academy travel limits, are real.
