when can tickets purchased in phase V be picked up?

[Substance]

was hoping to get some clarification on tickets purchased in sale phase 5.

if we buy tickets in sale phase 5, they will not be delivered but have to be picked up in germany.

so the question is.

if we somehow magically manage to pick up tickets to the final in the last sale phase.

when can we pick them up?
can we do it at any time during the world cup or does it have to be a few days before the final actually starts?

:confused: :confused:

[cath]

cant find where i saw it now but....

i think that tickets can be picked up at the ticketing centre at each stadium. you can pick them up for your match on any day that a match is being held at that stadium !

So if you are lucky enough to go the final and you know you have tickets like a week before. if there is a game being played at berlin during that week you can pick them up on that day !

like i said cant find where i saw it now but pretty sure thats right !

hmmm

can we pick up the tickets for example from munich for the final if we buy them in sale phase 5?

Isn't this much the same as what we dealt with here? (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8085551#post8085551) Which was a yes, hopefully that's right.

And it's on days where there is NOT a match on at the stadium, that they want you to pick up tickets, right?

Anyway, I assume then that what happens is they print your ticket on the spot, whenever you turn up somewhere to collect it. And I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't do that for you as soon as you get to Germany, if you like. AFAIK the only reason they're not posting them is because they might not reach you in time.

I could be wrong of course.

hehe...i think that is pretty much the same question..

maybe i should call fifa and ask them to get a correct answer.

but if what u say is correct, then i guess we coudl go to frankfurt, which would be the closest town to where we are staying and pick up the tickets from there.

From memory it's any time during the tournament from any venue aslong as there isn't a match being played that day.

Yep, the trouble seems to be that while everyone seems to remember seeing it somewhere that blah blah blah, we've got nothing concrete to go on. Probably that's why you were asking again, can't blame you.

And since you're volunteering...:) Let us know how you get on, cheers!

Sorry for asking what may seem obvious but how did you find out that phase 5 tickets will not be shipped and can only be picked up?

Someone mentioned it in this thread but gave no source as to where they found this information:

http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=338037

I know tictets will not be shipped in the 2nd phase of conditional tickets for those living outside of Germany or after the 17th May but where does it say about phase 5 tickets must be picked up?

I've just had a quick search on the FAQ on the FIFA website but I can't see anything.

Thanks in advance for any responses. I need to know as it will affect which of my friend's applys as "the applicant" for tickets especially as some of our credit cards are nearly maxed out already!

I just bought some tickets in the new resale. Important info in the email I got:

Your order cannot be delivered. Your tickets will be deposited at the
stadium for you to collect them. You may collect your tickets until
one day before the selected match takes place at any of our twelve
Stadium Ticket Centers. Tickets may not be collected if on that
specific day and at that specific stadium there is a game taking
place.

If you wish to collect your tickets on the day of your selected match
you will only be able to do this at the Stadium Ticket Center of the
stadium where this specific game is taking place.

This e-mail includes as attached document a tickets certificate in pdf
format. Please print out the certificate and bring it to the Stadium
Ticket Center together with an official identification document for
the collection of your deposited tickets. Doing this you will save
time on collecting your tickets. If you do not have the programme
needed to open the pdf document you can download Acrobat Reader with
no charges under www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
The address and opening hours of the twelve Stadium Ticket Centers
will be published in due time before the tournament starts at
www.FIFAworld cup.com as well as on your Customer Self Service.

You cannot transfer tickets bought via resale

or maybe that is just reselling tickets bought via resale, i may be wrong

[generals soccer]

YOU CANNOT TRANFER TICKETS BOUGHT VIA RESALE

Since when? I have from the last phase.

intersting. is there a third person who knows the answer? if i cant transfer them that means that 2 tickets will just go to waste. how dumb is that?

YES, u can transfer them. i just checked my Cust. serv. area.. the option is there.

[mich20]

of course you can transfer them, the only thing you can't do with them is to resell once again...
