Just Got USA WC Tix!!!

[REVS FAN 1]

But you have to remember, the whole concept of what "a few days" signify in Europe and in America are two totally different animals. And that goes double if you're a New Yorker like myself.

At least that's what I tell myself.

I was lucky enough to score a couple TST-6's...I put in my MasterCard Debit Card and FIFA took my $1204. in less than FIVE MINUTES!!!

It took US Soccer forever to take my money for the Mexico and CR match!!

The charge went through instantly on my MC, too, although I woke up the next morning to discover a second temporary hold on the card for the ticket amount. I got wicked paranoid, emailed FIFA in a panic, then read my credit card info again and realized that it was just a thing MBNA does with international transactions. The temp authorization has since disappeared, leaving me with:

But my husband's in the waiting for bank transfer details boat, too; I've heard rumors to the effect of 6-8 weeks for them to get that sent out. You'd think they'd be more eager to have everyone pony up the cash...

Couple of questions..

If you get a TST-3, do you guys expect you'll be able to buy tickets for the USA in the round of sixteen and beyond?

And, if you bought tickets in the same price catagory as other US fans, I think I'd want the cheapest catagory 4 for example, will you be placed with other US fans, or is it random seating? I'm trying to buy a single ticket and want to be among other Americans.

Thanks.

The few people I have spoken to that have TST-3's seem to think that tjey will be able to score tickets for the knockout rounds when the US advances...

FIFA is not offering a TST in CAT 4(behind the goals), most everyone that got TST's are in CAT 3....I assume(hope) that FIFA puts all USA fans together...thus the question that was asked on the order form...Who do you support?

Regardless for "where" my seat is located....I'll be where the most RED is :D

I'm hoping to pick up some tickets for other countries matches as well...but I don't want to screwup my USA TST order....maybe someone that has been emailing FIFA regularly can find out IF/HOW we can buy single tickets, for USA knockout games or other countries matches if we already have ordered a USA TST......

For now (I have TST-3 cat. 3), my plan is to try for knockout round USA tix in the December ticketing phase. If that fails, I will travel to Germany for the group games and see how security is at the gates (i.e. can you get in with a ticket from a scalper/ebay etc?)...if it is lax I'll hunt for tix from a scalper or online (most likely online).

But the most secure and best way is to try in December for the single game tickets...surely they'll have TST single game tickets available (or some mechanism to assure you'll be able to see the team you root for, as long as you get the tickets).

What if a supporter from another team tried to sell you his/her TST-(>3) ticket because they didn't advance and USA did. Would that work, or are they really serious about only allowing the person who bought the ticket in?

The way I read the FIFA ticketing guidelines, If you purchase a TST series ticket you CANNOT purchase single game tickets for any other team at any other time! OR the previous application will be VOID...

I hope I'm reading that wrong and I'm sure someone will point that out :D

As for security, several people I've talked to that went to WC02 said there would be NO WAY they could check every ticket and they didn't even bother to spot check tickets in '02...

As for selling tickets...If someone offered us an absurd amount of cash for our Semi-Final tickets I'd have no problem selling them...unless of course the mighty US advances to that point.... Then they're PRICELESS :D

Well he would be kind of silly since he would be watching better teams, and would probably have already booked enough lodging and airfare to stay the extra week or two...

But I'm guessing they are even stricter (more strict?) when it gets to the later stages.
