Did anyone else both fax and overnight their applications?

I think my fax went through about 9:30 pm, by which time of course my fedex was on its way.

Any speculation on what they will do with duplicates?

DQ them as duplicates?
figure it out and ignore the 2nd?
double charge and give me double tickets?

I would like to think the 2nd, fear the first, would take the third!

8. Can I fax my order and then send a hard copy by mail to make sure U.S. Soccer receives it?

No. If the same order is delivered to U.S. Soccer through multiple methods (i.e. fax AND mail), the order has the potential to be double-processed (in which case any duplication in tickets will not be eligible for a refund or transfer) or rejected (due to exceeding the ticket purchase limitations set by FIFA). U.S. Soccer recommends selecting only one method of delivery for your 2006 FIFA World Cup Ticket order.

BUT, US Soccer has already proven they don't abide by the answers they gave in the FAQ Section, by not properly preparing themselves for the amount faxes attempted - Question # 7, I believe.

Why the hell would anyone fax an application AFTER sending one via FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, whatever???

I was told if they receive two forms you can be kicked out of the whole thing. I was asking to see if I should fax a second time to ensure I get through because my fax machine didn't give me a confirmation report.

Does that mean that someone that sent in multiple copies of an order which only had half (or less) of the ticket requests allowed by FIFA, they would probably not get rejected but could get double charged? Could they then just reassign the duplicates using the FIFA process?

That doesn't sound to bad to me...but I'm probably missing some other interpretation of those words. Probably something in the fine print of the FIFA regs.

You could call them and ask.

It seems pretty simple to me. Send one application per household or BOTH of your applications will be rejected.

If you've faxed it in, don't mail one in. If you've mailed one in, don't fax one in.
