Collecting tickets 1 match at a time

[BigHaz]

Can tickets be picked up (collected) one match at a time?

The ticket certificate says that "if you have tickets for different matches within your order you collect them all at once".

What if I only want to pick up tickets to one match so I don't lose the others?

I have four different ticket certificates for four different matches.

Are they talking about cases when all of the matches ordered are on a single certificate?

Loose them? Would you prefer to queue 4 times??? Even if you do...I am sure the OC would want to see you once and not 4 times:)
Only Touts and scalpers that have bought several tickets with one account will have a problem...is this your case????

Im not sure what i am doing to get my tickets? I am going to Spain v Saudi game on the 23rd so if i go the the ticket centre on that day il be able to pick them up... Correct? could i pick my last 16 match from here as well at the same time?

[BigHaz]

I don't see why touts would have a problem.

I don't want to carry around tickets for a game that doesn't take place until a week and a half later. Keep in mind that I will be camping and staying in places where I don't know the people so I'm afraid the tickets might get lost/stolen.

Yes, you can pick them up at the same time.

Yes, you can pick them up at the same time.

But i have been told i can only pick up games which are at that stadium on that day, but if im going to the spain game they will deff give me my last 16 tickets at the same time?

Read your ticket certificate, it says:

"Of course if you have tickets for different matches within your order you may collect them all at once".

Sorry mate. Thanks for clearing it up tho :)

In English, doesn't "may" imply it is optional?

They are not saying "must"!

Dont want to sound petulant...but what about your passport, money and other valuables whilst you camp???? In fact if you lose your tickets all you have to do is go to a Ticket Center with you passport and they will cancell those lost and issue new ones (from FIFA Tickets FAQ web page):

44. What are the advantages of the chip technology used at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM)?

FIFA and the organising committee opted for chip-based tickets to improve customer service and to make security measures scaleable. Every ticket is unique. Lost tickets can therefore be blocked for stadium access. Chips allow precise allocation of tickets to shipments. Every customer is guaranteed their seat in the stadium as the tickets are forge proof.

You can lose them 3 times before you queue as many times as you would if collecting every game individually.:)

I read a post that said that if your tickets were lost or stolen they would be replaced, but that you had to pay for them again. It may have been wrong though.

can anyone answer a related question? Would it be possible to pick up some BUT NOT ALL of my tickets for a particular match and leave the others for my friends to pick up? There is a chance they might be late to the game so I want to pick up my ticket first to make sure I dont miss any of the game and leave theirs for them to pick up themselves in case they are late. The tickets are in their names and I could give them a copy of my passport and a letter if needed. If anyone can shed any light on this I would appreciate your thoughts. thanks alot.

No this is not possible. I just spoke (yesterday) to the ticket center and asked this same question since Im meeting friends at the staduim and in case I miss thought it would be best to have each of us pick up our own tix. Well, they told me its not possible since the person who applied for the tix has to pick up ALL the tix for THAT particular game. OR you can have your guest pick them up with the signed consent/passport copy.

Kev England you are the man, thanks alot

Has anyone here been at one ticketcenter!? I arrive early on match day to pick up my tickets...will I have enough time? or will it be a blunder!?
I also wonder since I have transferred 1 ticket that takes place before my matches & given a specific authorisation for the transferred match, will the Ticket center only give him the transferred tickets and not my other tickets?! Otherwise thats a biiiiig huge blunder...from the always carefull germans.

I had the same question and situation so I called the ticket center today. I was told that the person given permission to get the ticket for the match before your arrival in Germany will be given all tickets in your order, not just the one that you want them to get. The girl said that all tickets in an order will be printed at one time.

Anybody know FIFA's policy on stolen tickets?

That is just ********ing stupid!! What the hell are they thinking about, so if security & fairness is their thing then this blows me away. now the other guy can go to all my other matches with my tickets. Where did you get a phone nr for the ticket center? I have not found them anywhere...

PS Did she say in 1 order as in one order (ex 3 tickets for Brazil Croatia which are ordered together & only 1 is transferred?) or did she mean all my orders in my customer number? so if I have 3 different orders he will only get the tickets in the order where he has a transfered ticket & not all other orders. I hope thats the case

I dont think this is what I understood the ticket office to tell me when I spoke to them on the phone last week. I was told only one person can collect all the tickets FOR ONE PARTICULAR game (I asked if I and my guest could pick up our tickets seperately--no deal on this). The transfer form I thought was for one game if I recall correctly.

Please: those going to Germany for the very first games--please logon overseas and post your experiences with this. Cheers.

Forzabarca, you don't sound as if you know this 'other guy' very well.
Remember that when you transferred the tickets you agreed with the OC that the transfer was for one of their seven specified reasons. You may even have told them he was a family member. Whichever reason you gave, it is implied that the recipient is someone you know and trust, not someone you have never met before, and sold a ticket to.

The OC are assuming all transferees are good acquaintances with the original holders, and are probably entitled to do so as they made their acceptable reasons for transfer perfectly plain.

This is when the chickens come home to roost for ebay sellers.

I transferred one ticket to a guy I know abit although I know he wont screw me over since we live in the same city & I see him often here & there. But it dont matter who I transferred the tickets to, good acquaintances or this or that dont matter..... lets say I transferred to my brother. The main problem is that how to get my tickets? its messy & I hope what Im getting at. Its a mess if he picks up my tickets lets say 11th june & my game is on 12th june how the hell is he supposed to send me the tickets, Its very hard & complicated to do that.
