I've found great success in phase 4 by reloading secure 'error' pages from the FIFA ticketing order page. That way, if any tickets become available, you will get a big head start on people waiting for the "R" to turn black. So here's my technique:
Get on to a secure ordering page. These pages are cookie enabled (which last 1 hour before you see the German gobbly-gook text, then you need to quit your browser, and restart it to reset the cookie). The secure pages URL look like this:
https://ssltickets.fifaworldme.....
One way to get into the secure pages is to enter a security code in an attempt to click thru in an actual ticket order. If you enter the code and get the all too common 'error' page, you will see that the url of that page is "https://..." ie: secure. Bookmark that page, you can reload it later to enter the secure site thereby bypassing the need to ever type in the security code again, quite a time saver needless to say. When you reload that error page, you can select 'single tickets' or 'tst' from that page's menu, and you're in the secure ordering site.
Then you need to identify a single match or TST that you want. You can try for more than one, but it's easier to reload one page at a time. Find a black 'R' on the secure ticket page and click it. The order page you are taken to will end in a URL like this:
....=rs_einzel1&key=19&target=1
the above code is the end of the URL for the match #19 (England v Trinidad) order page. If you replace the "19" in actual URL with the match number you want, you will get the order page for that match.
Now, you have a secure page and can wait for tickets to show up by auto-reloading or hitting F5 until your finger hurts.
Now, here's the real trick:
when tickets DO show up on that page, click them immediately and then click "continue with order" at the bottom of the page to advance. Chances are you will be beaten to the punch by someone who is doing the same thing, and you will get another error screen (especially for games like #19 above).
Bookmark THAT error page. It is the secure shortcut you want. Then, reload that page ad nauseum. I got 3 tix to Holland v Ivory yesterday using this technique. Reloading by hand (not auto reloading) is best here, because if the tickets become available, you will be redirected to your login page, where you enter your name and password before you go to the application where you fill everything out.
Keep in mind that the FIFA secure cookie expires in 1 hour, so if you logged in 50 minutes ago, it might expire while you are typing in your address, etc... Best to quit your browser (or clear your cookies) every 30 min or so to avoid that from happening... GL
PM me if you get stuck trying any of the above.
