    While it doesn't give any sense of how widespread the problems were/are, this article in The Washington Post suggests that a few kinks remain in the ticketing process ...

    Women’s World Cup fans enraged after ticketing nightmare leads to confusion, massive lines
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...ting-nightmare-leads-confusion-massive-lines/

    More problems with the ticketing service at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France emerged this weekend as the tournament began play, further frustrating fans — many of whom made the trip overseas for the event — and opening up the championship to ridicule.

    Spectators headed to the tournament’s first match between France and South Korea on Friday at the Parc de Princes in Paris were emailed new tickets a day earlier that they were required to print out so as to enter the stadium. The email with the subject line “FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019 — Download your e-tickets!” caused confusion among fans because tickets became available for download last month.

    Spectators were unclear upon reaching the stadium which tickets, originals or replacements, would secure admission. Some waited up to two hours in snaking lines at the box office, then encountered more turbulence inside as ushers were uncertain where fans should sit based on the duplicate certificates.

    “Getting in the stadium was a f------ nightmare,” Sophie Durieux, a French supporter from outside Paris, told The Washington Post.


    She said many fans disregarded the email that reissued tickets because they had printed out theirs weeks ago. When they couldn’t enter the stadium and needed the help of box office workers, event staff outside the stadium did not know where to send them for help.

    “We waited on line and got right up to the gates where there was a bar code scanner — the tickets didn’t work,” Jennifer Doyle, who traveled from Los Angeles to attend the match, said in an email. “There were quite a few people at our gate in the same situation; this must have been happening all evening but the guards working the gates didn’t have reliable advice.

    “We were sent to another gate and they didn’t know what to tell us so we got on line at the ticket office; quite a long line of people who had tickets that weren’t being recognized at the gate.”

    Just to add to this...I spoke with a guy who is attending with friends, and they have all their tickets exactly as expected. Granted, it is for the semis and finals, but he reported no problems at all.

    We've got tickets to the R16 game in Le Havre, QF in Rennes and both semis and the final. Our R16 and QF tickets are available to download/print, but not or semis and final tickets. Our seat assignments are listed in the "Details" column, but there's nothing in the "Send" and "E-tickets" column. Anyone in the same situation?

    Hope this is resolved soon because we're starting our trip in just a few days and printing will be a lot harder when we're travelling.

    Yes, we are. We have not received any related communication from FIFA. Have a look at the Washington Post article I linked to earlier; we are expecting something similar with the Lyon matches. Good luck!

    Although it is sold put, you might try at one of the ground's billeterie, there might be some returns or resale...

    Anybody else still unable to download their Lyon tickets? I wrote recently to 'tickets@loc2019.fr', asking what was going on, noting that
    • we have been unable to download our tickets for weeks,
    • that there was a related message on our account saying that we would be contacted, but that we had not been contacted,
    • and that we were about to leave for France.
    The reply email that I received stated that my tickets are now available for download.

    I logged into my account and, you guessed it, they are not available for download.

    I just talked to a friend experiencing the exact same problem -- she can't download her families tickets either, and she has not been contacted by FIFA.

    I have two tickets to dispose of for each of:

    Round of 16 Canada v Sweden, June 24, 9:00 pm, Parc Des Princes, Paris (Gate B, Stand Paris, Access 205 (enter at 105), Row 3, Seats 73 and 74), right at mid-field line, we had these for an earlier game, good seats)

    ZDog, I had that issue and called the FIFA support phone number. They then emailed me the tickets.

    All,

    Be aware FIFA is continuing their tradition of releasing a small number of tickets about 24-hours before each match. So keep trying if you still need them, often they are great seats.

    FYI For anyone who had separated seats for the SF:
    FWIW I received a call from a very nice lady from the ticketing office today letting me know that we had been assigned new seats and that the tickets were now available for download from my account. (They are indeed now available.) She also said that our finals tickets would be available for download some time next week. A friend received a similar call around the same time.
    (I’m one case we are now all in the same row, in the other we are grouped in two rows directly in front / behind each other.)

    For those in a similar situation: Hopefully things will be resolved for you soon as well, if they have not already been.

    Hello guys,

    I've got two extra tickets for the quarter final US/France on Friday.
    Those tickets are VIP shared suite (parking, foods and beverage included) for decent price compare to what you can find on internet.

    Just PM me if you are interested or if you know someone who could be.

    To ensure you, I will hand over the tickets in front the stadium and you would come with me inside in order to make sure that everything is fine.

    See you!
