World Cup 2014 tickets: general discussion: NOT for trading or selling

You have to ask your friends to create a FIFA account and to use this account to buy tickets.

 

I had a talk a few months back with a high ranking member of the Para state government (Belem is the capital of Para) and he told me that the government of Amazonas (Manaus is the capital of Amazonas) paid the right people. Actually his exact quote was that Amazonas paid more. Personally as a place to visit I much prefer Manaus. Belem reminds me of New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina. Suffice it to say I won't be going to work for the Belem Tourism board. Cuiaba is more of a headscratcher for me. Really they should have just gone with 8 in my opinion: Porto Alegre, Sao Paulo, Rio, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Fortaleza, and Manaus. Could have saved some money, cut down on the white elephant stadiums, better development in the chosen host cities.

 

Does anyone know what the local attitude re the world cup is in Manaus? any different than any of the other cities or likely just the same. Is this a place you could take the kids or just leave them at home?

 

I suspect tickets in Manaus and Cuiaba are going to be easy to get right up til kick off, except perhaps if Argentina plays there. You can still get tickets even now to games in those cities. Maybe the draw will favor demand for games in Manaus or Cuiaba, but right now the combination of distance, remoteness, relatively smaller local populations, suggest there may be some empty seats on game days in those venues.

 

missed rio lottery along with several other people I know. Not surpised.

Got 2 venue tix for Natal this AM, which I am happy enough with. Looking to find one of game 51/52 and 57 in recife/fortaleza though.

 

Nailed a Brasilia r16 and Brasilia qf this morning. Don't know how I did it. With my Aussie tst4 I now at least have a trip

 

The people that I have talked with are pretty excited to host the games. They are a little disappointed with the construction delays and cost overruns for the stadium, but not unexpected. The phrase that Brazilians use with schedules is that Brazil always does things "na hora" (at the time) and never before. But really Manaus is one of the safer cities for the most part. Downtown is a bit shady by the port, but you get up by Ponta Negra they actually have done a lot of development just in the last few years in advance of the cup. Even created a beach there. Of course people were getting eaten by crocodiles on that beach until someone decided to build a net to keep them out. Details, details.

 

yikes!

 

Went back (for more punishment?) after lunch. Put a Croatia TST 3 in my basket and it actually worked. Put it back though. Just seeing if I could actually buy one.

 

I got on relatively quick by hitting refresh - around 10 AM Brasilia time. - Didnt help though. Everytime I tried for "available" tix they were sold out.

 

I'm looking for 1st round Rio tickets listed below:
Match 19 - B1 v B3 - Rio de Janeiro
Match 31 - H1 v H3 - Rio de Janeiro
Match 42 - E2 v E3 - Rio de Janeiro


I have the following tickets for trade:
4 x Match 37 - C4 v C1 - Cuiaba / Category 2
4 x Match 16 - H3 v H4 - Cuiaba / Category 1
4 x Match 46 - G2 v G3 - Brasilia / Category 1
4 x Match 21 - C1 v C3 - Brasilia / Category 1

Let me know if anybody is interested?

 

For people who bought tickets today, did you get a confirmation email?

 

I did not.

 

@Neville2 I think 8 might have been a little too extreme. Even South Africa had 10 host cities. Above all, however, I'd scrap Cuiabá in favor of Florianópolis. I know it's because of the swamps and all, but it would make a lot more sense in every other scale.

I'd prefer to go to Manaus over Belém, but again, that's pretty much the only excuse they have.

 

Neither me - I have the green "successful" message on my ticketing screen, but there was no email.

 

i did not. But, checked my creditcard statement online, and it was charged under FIFA ZURICH

 

@Neville2 seems like you've been all around Brazil. Have you been to Belo Horizonte? What's your thoughts on the city? Got a game in Belo for the WC and plan on splitting time between Belo, Rio, and Buzios.

 

Hi I'm looking for tickets to the matches listed below:

4x Match 31 H1-H3 -Rio de Janeiro
4X Match 58 W53-W54 Rio de Janeiro
4XMatch 59 W51 -W52 SalVador

4x Match 62 W59-W60-Sao Paulo


I have the following tickets for trade: (all cat 1)

4x Match 34 A2-A3-Recife
4x Match 45 G4-G1-Recife4x Match 39 D4-D1-Natal
4X Match 56 H1-G2 Salvador
4X Match 53 E1-F2 Brasilia
4X Match 60 W55-W56 Brasilia

 

I have been extremely lucky to have lived and traveled here the last 3 years for work, but sadly I don't really know Belo Horizonte (or Porto Alegre and Curitiba). I have only ever made connections at the airport. I have heard mostly good things from my Brazilian friends and would like to check it out. I am hoping the U.S. is drawn there. Perhaps to play and beat England again?

 

Any of you have got a TST for Mexico? this sale or the first sale? please let me know, cause for me seem impossible, thanks

 

Hey,

I have 2 tickets to game 43 (Porto Alegre, F1 VS F4), Which I want to trade to game 50 and above (Round of 16/Quarter Final).
I will pay the difference.
PM Me if interested.

 

I'm trying to decide which Venue Series Ticket I should apply for. Can some please recommend the city with the most interesting architecture?

 

Heh, good luck with that trade.
