Had a look quick look through this thread and couldn't find the info I needed, but apologies in advance if this has been covered already.
I want to try and get tickets during the next sales period from FIFA - according to their website (www.fifaworldcup.com) in December when 300,000 more tickets will be released. How do I put in an application for these tickets. When I click on the ticket shop link of FIFA's website it still has the info for the May 2005 sales period, and clicking on 'Order Tickets Now' takes me to an outdated page where applications for certain TST's are available.
Is the application for the next sales period not up yet - or am I just not seeing it? Any help is appreciated.
just poke around farther on the fifaworldcup site, you'll find your answers. ok, here are the answers:
from: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/tickets/overview.html
"3. How much do the tickets cost and how many sales periods are there?
Single tickets are on offer in four price categories. The cheapest tickets for group stage matches cost €35. The most expensive seats at the group stage cost €100. The cheapest ticket for the Final costs €120 and the most expensive €600.
To ensure a fair and open process even if demand exceeds supply, and to guarantee as many interested parties as possible receive tickets, ticket sales will take place in five periods. Applications cannot be accepted in between sales periods.
Further sales periods: 12 December 2005 to 15 January 2006
15 February 2006 to 15 April 2006
01 May 2006 to 09 July 2006."

"23. What are the different Sales Phases?
In order to ensure a fair and transparent allocation of tickets, even with ticket demand exceeding ticket supply, and in order to provide as many interested persons as possible with tickets, the procedure for ticket allocation for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM) has been divided into five phases. Between the individual phases no applications can be submitted.
The first sales phase began on 1 February 2005 and ended on 31 March 2005
The second sales phase will start on 2nd of May 2005 and will end on 15th of November 2005. Ticket applications submitted during this stage will be processed in the order of receipt (according to the principle of “First come, first served”. Ticket allocation in the second phase will end with all tickets set aside for this phase being allocated, or by 15th of November 2005 latest.
The third sales phase will begin 12th of December 2005 and will end 15th of January 2006. The procedure corresponds to that of phase one: All properly submitted registrations received during this stage will be considered for allocation. If the number of submitted applications for tickets exceeds the number of tickets set aside for this stage, tickets will be allocated by draw on 22nd of January 2006.
Important: It makes no difference whether you register early, on 12th of December 2005, or late, on 15th of January 2006. Every properly submitted application will stand the same chance to win at the draw.
The fourth sales phase will start on 15th of February 2006 and will end on 15th of April 2006. Ticket applications submitted during this stage will be processed in the order of receipt (according to the principle “First come, first served“). Ticket allocation in the fourth phase will end with all tickets set aside for this phase being allocated, or by 15th of April 2006 latest.
The fifth sales phase (last minute phase) will start on 1st of May 2006 and will end by 9th of July 2006. Ticket applications submitted during this fifth phase will be processed in the order of receipt (according to the principle of “First come, first served“). Ticket allocation will end when all tickets set aside for the fifth sales phase have been allocated, or by 9th of July latest. During this phase tickets will be allocated via the internet as well as via selected advance booking centers at the venues. At these centers you can pay cash or by credit card."
also, keep in mind that ussoccer will receive an allocation of tickets from Fifa which will be distributed by ussoccer. See part 12. of the overview section. it is recommended that one signs up at ussoccerfan.com to get news of this ussoccer process.
