    Thanks for the app @royial, i have one quick question. If you do add automatic purchase will we be able to buy tickets for matches we have already bought tickets for? For example i bought 1 match 42 tickets but i need a couple more but they won't let me purchase more since I have already purchased one.

    Amazing man! My dream of experiencing a WC final still lives on :)! A million thanks!

    I really doubt this will be possible. You'd think the app only automates processes you now can do manually.

    Good news - I was able to automate the purchase... I still debugging it to see that I didn't miss something... I'm tired for today so I guess i'll continue tomorrow working on it.... I'll publish it once ready...

    Sorry guys I didn't reply to the private messages and to the questions here in the thread - i was focus to deliver to automation and I promise to get back to you right after i'll publish it.

    Meanwhile I got few messages that even the first software without the automation helped some people to purchase tickets!

    Hi,

    I'm happy to announce that the version is ready. I still wasn't able to check all the scenarios etc but as I have really lack of time (I have 2 little kids :)), I decided to publish it as beta version.

    I really hope you'll use it only for your personal needs.
    I'm using the software as well for games 62,64 so in case you find them, i'll be happy if you can buy 2 more and give it to me in face value :)

    So the instructions:
    Download here
    OS: Windows (I'll try later to support Windows XP)
    Requirement: .NET Framework 4.5
    Uninstall the previous version (important!)
    Unzip the zip file to C:\wc2014tickets (important!), install by clicking on setup.exe and run.

    Instructions:
    Left side:
    a. Put the game/s you're looking for (for example: 1 if you would like to get notification of game 1. 62,64 if you want to get notification for games 62,64).
    b. Choose the categories you want.
    c. Put the interval between availability check (seconds). I define 30 as minimum (will change it after i'll get my tickets/to special users :)) as I want a chance to win some games as well :). By testing it, looks like 30 is enough currently.
    d. Define the minimum amount of tickets you want.
    e. Define the maximum amount of tickets you want.
    f. Start button is disable currently till you'll logged in on the right side of the software to the ticketing system and access the page with the table of the games and the availability of each game. Then the start button will be enable and you'll be able to click on it.
    g. Wait for the beep :)


    Version History:
    2.0 -
    Automation of purchase tickets.
    Bug fixing
    Ability to define the minimum and the maximum of tickets.

    1.1 -
    Multiple Games Support
    Speech the available game in addition to the beep

    1.0 -
    Single Game Support
    No notificatioon


    Future:
    In case there will be a request, I can do email/SMS notifications.
    Also the tool not doing validation of the input etc.
    Let me know what do you think.

    Good luck everyone and c'ya in Rio :)

    Donation:
    Only if you were able to find tickets using the tool, and it was really helpful, you can donate here (Thanks for the guys that already donated!)

    Questions/Suggestions - post here (better) or send an email to royialscanner at gmail dot com.

    Sadly XP currently not supported. I'll try to compile it with .NET Framework 2 and will update...
    Sadly its currently working only on Windows.. Sorry. You can find in a Google how to install Windows on a mac... Sorry again.
    As I'm not a Brazilian resident, I wasn't able to test it with Brazilian's account - sorry.
    Fixed it.
    No, sorry.
    No, the scanner is not going again Fifa's rules. It won't let you do so. Sorry.
    Thanks :) I'll be happy to get yours to see how you implemented it :)

    Brilliant. Cheers! Unfortunately the app doesn't seem to be launching once installed - anyone else had this issue? Thanks.

    Did you uninstall the previous version?
    Did you extract the zip to the location I specified?

    Thanks.
