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

I don't think conditional tickets will be in FCFS. From memory they weren't available in that phase in Brazil. I missed getting an Australia R16 CST too....can't believe there was so much demand for such an unlikely scenario!! So the green on the chart is not reliable at all!
And the FCFS will be a chaotic start with almost all tickets on day 1 (again, going by the Brazil experience).

 

Some Dutch dudes are renting Airbnb tent space in Nizhny Novgorod or Kazan on their indoor pitch. I wonder if we can game the living area stuff too. Imagine a rented house with all bigsoccer people lol. Though I snore pretty bad

 

Question. Say you have TST5. If your team is out after group stage, you go to the next game the group winner plays. IF the group winner loses - then for QF (game 5 of your TST5) - do you follow whoever defeated your group winner? Just looking for confirmation to make sure I understand this correctly.

BTW, flight prices are already a bi&ch on certain dates...

 

Nice.... Me or my group didn’t get any email like that, so looks like we were all unsuccessful! Onto FCFS!

 

yes, you will always follow the winner of your matches

 

You can go to the Quarterfinal or follow the R16 looser home. Those are your options. hahaha

 

I got R16 and QFs (Sochi). I was lucky to get both SF in the first round but I'm still missing tickets for the finals.

 

Extremely annoyed not to see unsuccessful. Pending what, its over just change my status please, how hard could it be.

 

Does Anyone know where the Main Festival Tents will be set up in Moscow like they had in Past Cups. Maybe thats Impossible info to figure out now. Anyways. If anyones Interested in Trading tickets and Getting a Whattsapp chat going let me know .

Oh man, the semis and the final are what I need now... but I’m gunning for cat 3 which is probably why I’ve been unsuccessful.

 

Hi Everyone, my wife and I have a number of extra tickets we will not be using. I'm new to this soccer thread. By way of background, I'm a University of Virginia Alum who was referred to this thread via a friend of mine that used it in 2014 while in Brazil to trade last minute tickets as the tournament progressed.

Would it be possible for me to "sell" my tickets on here, is that within the rules? Would prefer to sell to like minded football fans where we can verify eachother etc as opposed to going about secondary websites, or waiting for the FIFA re-sale in a few months.

 

Is this what you are looking for?

Of course mate!
Have a look through the ticket exchange thread or add your tickets to the spreadsheet.

Pm me dude

 

Thanks very much! Will update the spreadsheet and the thread. Very kind for the response!

 

No problem - Lots of very awesome people here. Good luck!

 

What tix do you have and where are you physically located?
Once you have the actual tickets in your possession, you can certainly try to sell them on here for the face value.

On the other hand, you're looking to collect money now and send tix when you receive them in april/may - that probably won't work (and I imagine you yourself wouldn't buy tix that way from another user here - money first, tix 3 months later).

 

Got the email. Saying another attempt in 5 days for the 2 matches i got allocated. But since my expiration is wrong it's gonna get rejected again.

Please note that the FWCTC is not able to confirm the exact date or time of the pending charging attempts; however, we can confirm that the value will not be greater than the full payment amount required for the Tickets allocated to you. Please also note that it will not be possible to provide the FWCTC with alternative payment card details in respect of the pending charging attempts. Following the pending charging attempts, which will happen during the next five (5) working days, the FWCTC will NOT make any subsequent charging attempts.

 

you can call them to ask them to take payment.

 

That's true, though this part of the email is also important:
"If all automated attempts made by the FWCTC to take payment for the Tickets allocated to you fail, you will receive an email from the FWCTC with instructions on how to return to your FIFA Ticketing Account and pay online, using the same or a different payment card"

 

Do you have a number that you were able to reach them and talk to a person? I havenn't had such luck. Thanks!

 

Absolutely. Are You familar with The World cup Festivities yourself?..

Thanks

Quick question guys. Does anyone have some tips for the FCFS phase? Do you use multiple devices? Any advice to be successful would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

I am in a similar situation as I lost my credit card recently so the number has changed and I knew it would be rejected. Also obviously when they try again "during the next five (5) working days" it will get rejected again.

So then I have that one last chance and if anything goes wrong, such as a fraud alert (didn't happen last round), I will not get a 4th chance.

I already called that telephone number a few days ago to try to change my billing to my new credit card. but I just went around and around in their phone system pushing buttons from their menu but not able to get a human on the line. I eventually gave up and hung up having never spoken to anybody.

Is there a trick to finding a human who can help? Are humans only there during certain hours of the day?

 

Well i pressed the number for english, then the one to check the status, after that there was one that said to speak with a rep press 4.
I told them my issue. They took down my phone number and said someone would call me back to take payment. This was for the opening match premium which didnt have the option for me to pay myself. Someone called me and took payment, then promptly sent me an email confirmation with a receipt.
But i also sent the message request online and asked them to call me to take payment.
