    It's going to be unfortunate for them when Argentina win the group and Iceland finish second...Then they will only get to see the one Argentina game.

    I'm just getting started on the WC process. No tickets are available thru FIFA for the time we'll be there (1st week).

    I see people selling tickets here. How does that work? Can I buy a ticket from someone if I don't already have a Fan ID? Or do you only get a Fan ID when you buy from FIFA?

    If so, what can I do?

    basically you need a FANID to get into all games . . . .

    the problem is that you cannot get a FANID without first getting an official ticket from FIFA, once you get an official ticket, you can apply online for the FANID with that fifa ticket/order number

    once you have a FANID (or in theory that first official ticket) then you can buy a second hand ticket because you know you will have a FANID

    the FANID is fifa's way to prevent people from showing up the week/day of and just buying tickets

    so in your case, you need to hope/wait for the game you want to become available on FIFA

    hope this helps

    Ok, so there's no way I can buy a ticket from someone here, and then get a Fan ID? I also remember reading something that people who have tickets can get Fan ID's for others under their numbers or something?

    so to ur first question - everything i have read and understood from multiple forums, "no" . . .because to apply for the FANID you need to input a number that you get from the fifa website after you buy a ticket - basically a confirmation/order number

    second question, i'm not quite sure about any of that

    I think Iceland finishes second. Then they follow Iceland vs France and end up watching arch rival Brazil earn a trip to the final? :(

    If you're still having problems having multiple accounts open in Chrome you can open multiple Incognito windows and log-in to different accounts - it won't recognise that you're already logged in in another Chrome window if you're Incognito!

    So if this happened on a similar date and I don't yet have any tickets or Fan ID, would I be able to get a Fan ID in time? Also, are these tickets that people returned to FIFA to be resold, or are these an unsold batch they keep away till the very end?

    Because if that's all the ones that people have sold back to FIFA, that means my current checking of the ticket site updating is useless as tickets will only go down, not become available

    I would leave for Russia like a week after June 4th, so how would that work?

    FanIds are moving very slow now. I applied for my sons ID on 3/18 and it's still not here.

    Ok maybe you can answer another question I had. Since I have not bought any tickets and therefore can't get a Fan ID, can someone else who bought a ticket apply for one for me?

    Or is it only 1 Fan ID you can apply for per each ticket you bought? Did you buy a ticket for your son?

    Welcome to the forum. These questions and just about every other one have been answered about 743 times. There’s also different threads for things, like Fan ID, ticket exchange, trains. It’s a lot of reading, but you will answer your own questions by going through them. Aloha

    That may be possible; but I wouldnt advise since you may show up in Russia and if they ask to see your ticket you'll be hosed. anyhow... were going off topic here

    Thanks, but even after reading a lot, I have not found an answer to this question. And without it, I may have to just buy tickets to a random match I can't attend in order to get a Fan ID. Trying to avoid that

    Its amazing how big demand is for match between Serbia and Brazil and i think its pity to see some other matches and not the one where my national team plays. If i dont manage to get one ticket over fifa.com until matchday what other options i have to legally buy ticket somewhere.

    It was discussed a lot whats ok and whats not and will enter to stadium be permitted if i buy ticket off the market from someone etc....

    What about stubhub, or finding someone who will change the name of the guests and put my name over there? Im desperate already even here on forum is nooone to offer one single ticket to sell :-D

    Id make you read 1000 pages but I have some time. FanID you can get anytime before you leave. It takes maybe 1 day for approval, and once its approved, they send you an electronic form. That way you can use it right away. You will need to go to the fanid center to get a physical copy once you arrive. You can get the tickets you want from other people, the ticket doesnt need to match your name. But if the seller can change it to your name in the system, great if not i dont think it will matter. Also if you get a ticket from someone here, you will probably need to pay up front or deposit cause new guys tend to ghost on their deals. And maybe they can provide you with a request number for FanId. Or you can just be on the hunt through fifas site 24/7 and wait for your ticket to drop there.

    Thank you! One more thing, if you went via that route, would be able to even travel to get to a Fan ID center, considering that the Fan ID is acting as a VISA?
