Russia 2018: Ticket Thread (sales at face-value ONLY)

I had not seen that brochure before. So depressing. I love the bit saying 'For the Ultimate Fan'. For the desperate fan in reality.

 

Fortunately i still have my Senegal shirt from 2002 and was not going to wear it for this game but if there are so many neutrals there might not be a problem.

 

I opted out of delivery so I could submit some tickets for resale and from Tuesday up to this morning all my tickets were available to submit for resale but when I checked just now the ones that I did not submit for resale have the ‘ Ticket printed’ status with no option for resale. I’m not even going to bother making any assumptions about what that means. FIFA alone understands what it is doing.

 

As of May 1st tickets are available to purchase over the counter in Russia at the Ticketing centers. They have staff there, it’s not picking tickets from a machine.

 

I am interested to know what tickets they are supposedly selling at the Ticketing centre at present. Is it just Cat 4s? Obviously there has been no change in the general ticket selection.

I know this started in South Africa because the locals said they only wanted to buy tickets nearer the tournament but the Russians seem to have already done that.

 

I bet their association will return a bunch of their allotted tickets. I've been counting on a big drop but I have a feeling FIFA plans on dragging this thing out.

My original plan was to go see England-Tunisia in Volgograd on the 18th so I purchased those but there are no hotels available and its a logistical nightmare so I plan on sticking to Moscow/St Petersburg etc. Hoping those Senegal-Poland tickets drop. There possibly couldn't be that many people interested in that match up, could there? lol

 

They

They might be good this year with Mane. They started slow during qualification but improved. They might pull off their 2002 antics again. Rooting for them.

 

England-Tunisia
Nigeria-Iceland

 

Available are:
BEL-PAN (4x Cat 2)
BEL-TUN (4x Cat 2)
FRA-AUS (4x Cat 1)
All for FV.
PM if interested.

 

Also, Match Club offers unlimited food/drinks/alcohol 3 hours before and 1 hour after the match... not during. The extra money is purely for convenience - since you are already at the stadium and don't have to take an Uber/Metro to the stadium from the designated house.

That said, I'm interested to see what this "gift" is... plastic world cup trophy? Putin bobble head? some of my money back?

 

I had the chance of buying those but I want to say the tickets will be cheaper outside the stadium.

 

I'm in a big Colombian group on whatsapp and they have already started getting DHL emails in Colombia

 

Blanks all across the board on the FIFA ticket portal and including many "Product not available". Perhaps I'm irrationally optimistic but I hope this is a sign they'll open the floodgates.

 

Thank you everyone for your help so far... I've gotten some good answers on some of the questions I've posted so far.

I'm based out of New Jersey, US, btw, and still no word from DHL. Hmmmm.

I have a question: do people here have experience with the Ticket Scanner that's on Google Play? I really want to get tickets for the Final, and I'm thinking of spending the 90 USD necessary to get the scanner. My question is: does it work?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi. I’m sure everyone already knows this but the reason some are grey and some are white is because of the special access tickets. If you checked that box at the top, you’d see that the white games have some tickets available in the special access seats but grey means they have no tickets available at all.

 

I don't think much has changed though...

 

There were some yellow and reds for the crappy games. Now pretty much nothing is available.

 

The ticket system is the same of the 'online' You will not buy different games.

 

I got Match Club TST3 hospitality for Argentina last WC and enjoyed it a lot. The atmosphere before and after the game was fun and having tickets a whole year before the WC was great. This year I thought tickets were easier to get so I didn’t buy hospitality right away and got most tickets I wanted although I ended up buying Match 7 through them.

I don’t think it is necessarily worth it if you can get tix otherwise but I’m not upset I had to buy them through them either.

Selling 4 x CAT 3 Poland vs Columbia tickets.

 

Same tickets as online. There was a line on the first day but they later put up a sign that stated they only had Volgograd games and panama-Tunisia. I'm sure the line scattered after that. LOL
Closer to the game day they offer other tickets like partially obstructed view seats that usually don't go on sale on the website.

 

Another regular has lost the will to live at Trip Advisor! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowT...FIFA_starts_delivering_tickets-World_Cup.html

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to get an update on when we will receive our tickets? I have 6 tickets and I haven't received any of them yet.


I'm selling Match 55 Tickets x2. Asking face value, but I can't yet since I haven't received them

 

be patience
you can look at your portal and see if it is where are my tickets (if you have, it means they printed)
