The FIFA web site says that each qualified federation gets 8% of the total tickets for their games. Now that we know the venues, here are the number of people we can expect in the US end.

Game .......Stadium Total...8% Available....Minus 1500 Big Wigs and Sponsers
Chexico............43920...............3514.............3014
Italy................37084...............2967.............2467
Ghana..............32341...............2587.............2087
Rd 16 Winner.....36392...............2911.............2411
Rd 16 2nd Place..50276..............4022.............3522

I don't know how many people are on the USSoccerFan.com list, but I doubt that there will be any left for the public sale.

Now let's hope Fed Ex puts my application on the top of the pile tomorrow morning!

thanks..

What I can't figure out is why they don't just allocate something like 40% of total stadium capacity to each fed involved, and sell the other 20% to the general public.

I mean, why would anyone but Americans and Czechs want to watch our first game?

I'm hoping that my glimmering yellow DHL package will catch their eye.... they'll be mesmerized and pick it up out of the sea of fedex envelopes.

All I'm asking for is 3 tickets for each of the group phase matches. My FedEx envelope looked perfect as I dropped it off this morning. I just hope it gets there intcact and towards the top. Crossing my fingers here good luck to all of you as well.

What!?! Any true fan would catch a red-eye flight to Chicago and be sitting on the steps outside of SoccerHouse with their application in hand when the staff shows up in the morning.

While I don't doubt that your numbers are probably correct, it makes absoluetly no sense that a federation would only get 8%. Between us and the Czechs, we're getting less than 20% of the tickets to our own match! What's going on? Are the concession workers required to have a ticket too?

This is absurd. I'll tell you what, FIFA: I'll forego getting tickets for the Croatia-Japan game if you can ensure I get tix for the two US games I want to attend.

Because one of the benefits of hosting a World Cup is that your citizens get to attend the games.
