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

of course, Moscow time

 

You can log on now... but you need to type the code and click the “im not a robot” after 12 Moscow time...

 

thanks

 

It wasnt like that in nov, was it ? There was a code to type ?

 

Can we use a credit card not holding the name of the main applicant on this phase ?

 

There is a captcha later on in the buying process

 

It most have taken some time to start 9 browsers. Was it the first two you started that got timers? And what was the count down, a few minutes or ½-1 hour?

 

No it was not the first 2 that got in the earliest. It is Random.

 

1.What is the maximum number of Tickets I can request?
You may apply for up to 4 Tickets per Match for a maximum of 7 Matches for your household which means a total of 28 Tickets for all persons living in your household. Alternatively, you can apply for a maximum of 4 Team Specific Ticket Series for the team of your choice.

Exceptionally, in case you apply for a Conditional Supporter Tickets, your application may cover for a series of up to 8 matches.

For supporters of the Belgian team, upon request of the Belgian Football Association, the number of Supporter Tickets and Conditional Supporter Tickets that can be requested by supporters of the the Belgian team has been limited to 1 Ticket per Match.

Am finding this a touch confusing as I have a TST 7. Can I apply for tickets in the group stages for tickets other than the day of matches I am watching (Costa Rica in my case)?
The system didn't seem to allow me to purchase additional tickets in the random selection phase after the draw.
Any ideas?

 

Question about the "first come first served" session from last December. If you for example add 2 tickets to your cart (for example Semifinal), are the tickets on hold for you at that point such that you can continue shopping for more tickets? Or not really and you must rush to the payment option?

Also, which browser you noticed worked best? Chrome? IE/Microsoft Edge?
Thanks!

 

You are capped and cannot purchase any more tickets under that household or guests. If you purchase more using the same info your tickets will get flagged.

You are given some time with tivkets in your cart but be aware , a lot of people have problems with payment and you might need the whole time just to pay. If payment doesnt go through on time you loose the carted tickets.

 

it probably took a couple of minutes to click the bookmarked URL on all 9 and get logged in, my membership info was already saved. But I seem to remember I did all that well in advance of the window opening/queue starting.

It was definitely not the first two that got the timers. I remember the first laptop I got logged in with the 3 browsers never got timers at all. In fact I recall distinctly it was my old relic laptop that was the last one I got logged into and into the queue that got the earliest timer. I hadn't started it up in 2+ years but charged the battery and updated the software the day before to get it ready for just this reason.

My memory is a bit foggy from last time, I don't exactly remember the timing as to when you could actually get into the queue and how much you could do before the timers started. I know you could log into your account in advance, then I think it was just a matter of hitting one more button when the window opened.

I remember I wasn't scrambling madly to log into my accounts. Hopefully someone else with a better memory can describe the sequence and timing. Also, it might not be totally the same this time around.

As I said before my browser with the lowest timer opened with a timer somewhere in the 35 minute range but it very quickly dropped to somewhere around 22 minutes then quickly dropped again down to 14 minutes (numbers approximate). this happened in just a minute or two. From 14 minutes on down to 00:00 it counted down normally. So the advice I gave before was if you see your lowest timer at a certain time, don't just walk away and come back at when you think there's a minute or two to go. Like mine, it might make big jumps in time down closer to zero and let you in. So sit there and watch it count down.

 

All browsers are the same. To me it didn't matter at all. It's not like everyone using Chrome is going to get in before people using Firefox. Just use every browser you got.

 

Good luck guys... I would call your credit card company ahead of time and put in a purchase notice for FIFA (in Switzerland?) or just call them up while ur making ur purchase so they can override any automatic fraud account locks.

 

Anyone got any info on what they will do with the seating groups?

 

So for peace of mind, when exactly is starting?

 

12:00 PM Moscow Time
11:00 AM Helsinki Time
10:00 AM Lagos Time
9:00 AM London Time
6:00 AM La Paz Time
5:00 AM Miami Time
4:00 AM Mexico City Time
3:00 AM Denver Time
2:00 AM Vancouver Time

I hope this helps everyone and I apologize if I left off your city/country

 

Does my wife having an account, with me as guest, and me having an account with her as guest count as duplicate account as far as fifa is concerned?

 

I have a query. I have a passport, which is expiring. What shall I do? Should I include last passport's number? Cause I have already applied for a new one and its due on 26 March.

 

Is it faster to enter the queu from a mobile?
Also, is it safe to open several chrome tabs to enter from different accounts? or should i use just 1 account for each explorer (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc)

 

If the passport number will remain the same, you wont have any trouble. If the number will change, use the old one. Worst case scenario take your old passport as well and explain the situation. For the FAN ID I would wait for the new passport number

Who all think this is correct. Hasn't changed so far in the last few days. Initially thought this clearly wasnt correct given that the high demand games in Moscow are all showing green. But now thinking this might be true.

 

In all honesty and no offence do people really think that a certain browser or device or location or internet speed will have an advantage?! That fifa somehow implemented some sort of queue bypass advantage algorithm together with queue-it?

I'm going to go for netscape on an pentium mmx device with my old acoustic coupler (dialup modem) connection. I think I'll get in before ya'll.

 

Let your mother know that you will be using the telephone line. Otherwise she might try to use the phone and you will lose the connection #throwbackmonday
