    I have this tickets to sell at face value:

    x6 Croatia vs. Nigeria
    x6 Croatia vs. Iceland

    I know it is difficult to sell this tickets, but I lose anything on trying.

    Thanks in advance!

    I m sorry to repeat myself but I don't think it will be very wise to swap tickets.
    I m sure there are some very reinforced security measures to check nominal tickets

    I think you’ll find it will be done in the 1000s. The biggest threat here will be many people will not complete the trades by simply not arriving to meet the person to trade it if they find an easier/quicker trade or sale beforehand. Build your networks over tournaments with quality contacts and over time you will have more success

    I still wish you all luck. I don't deny that quality contacts won't be a problem , I just dont feel confident with doing this.
    I will sell at 90% of the value through the platform :)

    I saw a video of someone going in with another persons ticket during confed cup. Seems like when they scanned the FANID the picture came up. and when they scanned the ticket it just lit up green. So I doubt that they will change their system that much were they will look up the name on the ticket and compare it to the FANID

    They will not , but the confed cups had 0 potential security issues . World Cup is another story.

    The Fan ID is their security check. I'd strongly advise not trying to use somebody else's Fan ID. However name son tickets have never been an issue before.

    Exactly. The main issue would be making sure everyone has their own FANID. Cause I doubt they will assign a FANID to a "person of interest". Cause why would they let them near the stadium. Its not like they will let them in and track where they are seated.

    Fifa sued viagogo over Tix resell.

    “During the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, FIFA and local authorities will conduct strict admission checks.”

    I wonder what do they mean by strict checks. I’m worried since I have a couple extra applications with slight name variations. Surely they won’t turn people at the gate and have half-empty stadiums right?

    well they are still selling them on most their viagogo websites.
    And i doubt they will check the names. they just say this to deter people from doing it.

    I still believe that some people will be rejected , if they happen to be checked by a very meticulous guy. I ll sell through the official platform and I am happy so

    Just change the name of the guest you are planning to sell. Try to have the buyer lined up before they start sending out tickets

    I've been stuck with tickets for some awful fixtures in previous tournaments.

    10 tickets - for Greece vs. Ivory Coast (Brazil) - Actually a great game
    8 tickets - Portugal vs Iceland (France '16)

    Worst case make a sign and hang it around your neck. You can generally find people to take them off you for face.

    If that fails, head to a nightclub and you've got yourself some great first date collateral.

    Do they remain your tickets until they are sold on the portal and does fifa refund you the full amount?

    Also, if you were looking to get rid of tickets to a poster on here you could tell them the exact moment you will release them online and they could be ready to snap them up on the portal provided fifa put them up pretty quickly.

    There is no way to determine when they will be put on the portal although it is normally pretty quick.

    FIFA keeps 10% as an admin fee. It should be possible to get them back if unsold but I couldn't do that in South Africa. It probably would have required a visit to a specific office can't recall for sure but when picking up my other tickets I couldn't cancel those available for sale that never sold.

    Or as in Korea and South Africa they will donate Cat1 tickets to the local junior school.

    . So they'd rather give away the tickets for free to locals rather then just offer football fans a fair price in the first place.

    I remember in the euros there was a match with very low demand, it might have been Ukraine vs Northern Ireland or another like that and on the last few days of the portal they were selling the tickets for a very low price just to clear them. This was on the resellers portal BTW.

    In Korea the locals were only interested in Korea and the big four supported nations England, Mexico, Argentina & Ireland were all in Japan so they filled empty seats opposite the cameras to make grounds look full. In SA people who like Football did not have the money and those with the money had no interest in Football.

    In South Africa, at the game Mexico vs Uruguay they had two entire sections full of local school kids and their teachers. They even brought in sandwiches and chips for them. All for free to them.
