    last weekend three of us met in the pub to exchange few tickets and do some organisatory chat

    thgen one mate asked: "do you remember how shocked we were back then in 2001 when FIFA announced they would sell tickets in internet?" :D

    I remember that, too - it was great because not everyone seemed to realise it. I put in one application for Follow England to the final with the option to follow the team that knocked them out - and got it. So I also saw Brazil in the SF and Final (plus a load of other games). Fast forward 4 years to Germany '06 and it was a nightmare getting anything.

    2002 was quite difficult for us, Japanese.
    I expected that getting Japan TST is extremely slim, so I applied some low-profile countries' TST7 and choose wire transfer payment, as its due date was after the final draw.

    I won 5 or 6 countries TST7 at first lottery phase.
    And after the draw, I paid only for one country its group includes Japan.:D

    yes, we did same, only with Korea, got 4 out of 5 :D ended paying for two.

    just imagine getting that sort success in2014 :eek: this year even seing the counter and knowing pretty much exactly how many TSTs people applied for we got only 4 series out of over twenty we applied for. :confused:

    Hello all, I am a new member to this forum. I will be going to Brazil for the World Cup for the third matches of the group until the first quarterfinals. I booked flights and hotels prior to 15th of April and was hoping to get tickets for the matches in Rio and Sao Paulo 50 -55 -58. I miscalculated the fact that these games would be the most hot selling from their draws and didn't secure any tickets for these 3 games. I secured tickets for the Greece - Ivory Coast and the last 16 in Recife which are still available.

    I found tickets in the viagogo website that are really expensive for the three games. Do you guys think those prices will drop closer to the games? You think there might be tickets available at the sales counters when I arrive in Brazil?

    I would appreciate any comments

    Cheers

    I remember my dad putting me to work the phones in 1993 for World Cup tickets. It paid off and we were able to see 7 or 8 games including Brazil's semifinal and Final.

    availability on FIFA site, probably. the only question is if yout're online to buy them when they appear.
    availability on the counter, not for those high demand games
    viagogo and simmilar, noone knows, no general rule. viagogo tickets are pretty much secure but very expensive. should be used as last exit only IMHO

    i think 2nd level in estadio nacional is hospitality only, you only had chances for either 1st or 4th level

    I'm starting to worry that I'm in your boat, DHL has nothing coming to me and people in Indiana and Michigan have reported already getting their tickets.

    I'm in Philadelphia and they got delivered Monday (without me knowing it). go to fifa and click on the botton for tracking and see if anything pops up.

    Has anyone, or heard of anyone, returned tickets to the Fifa ticketing centre in Manchester to be added to the resale platform?

    Trying to figure out if its worth doing, or if I should try and get rid of the tickets myself (but very few channels for those of us in England - locked out of eBay, Viagogo etc). I don't even care about making face value!

    I didn't know that was the case, are you sure about this?

    I have an appointment for pickup just after I arrive, and was hoping to only pickup my US-Ghana ticket. I read somewhere it was possible to just pick up some of your tickets and have them hold your others until later. The FIFA web site just let me make one appointment. I can remove that appointment but it won't let me book a second one.

    I'm picking up my R16 and QF tickets maybe a few days before those matches; the reason is I don't want to pick them up when I arrive and carry them around with me and have another thing to worry about. Having the team names on them would be a cool bonus.

    I wonder when I pick up my US-Ghana ticket if I can not pickup my knockout tickets but still find out where my seats are....you'd think the ticket person could see all my tickets on the computer and select which ones I want to have printed but still see the other ones.

    Technically, the person may be able to see your seat numbers for the other matches and tell you even if you aren't going to print. I have semifinal tickets and didn't even think to ask when I printed my group stage tickets at the time.
