World Cup Travel - Fortaleza

Same here!! Think I'm getting a night bus to natal on the 14th, fairly relaxed though, there are 8 daily buses for 60$

 

Cool, i think the last bus lives around 9pm, my plan is to live after the match urg vs crica. Are going to that match too, my friend.

 

Have you guys been able to book that bus ticket yet or waiting until you get to Fortaleza?

 

Still looking to book accommodations in Fortaleza for the 11th to the 14th. Anyone else in the same boat and wanna bunk up dormitory style or have extra space?

 

No, Leo. I think from what i understand, its a Better idea to get them once you are there.

 

Need big help, TAM just royally screwed me, I had flight for midnight on the 17th from natal to fortaleza to catch after the US/Ghana game, I decided to just take a look at my itinerary online and freaking TAM changed a couple of my flights. Now they have me flying out of natal early in day the 16 so not only will I miss the US game but they put me in a flight with connection and total flight with take 8 hours when the original flight was nonstop and only 1 hour flight. I've checked other airlines and nothing works. Does anyone here have suggests on other options to get to fortaleza after the US/GHANA game but before Mexico Brazil game ?

 

i want to try to go to Jeri while my wife and I are there.... we will be in Fortaleza from the 16-20

 

@matheus dutra based on your knowledge..... how likely do you think I would be able to purchase 2 tickets to the Mexico v Brasil, there in Fortaleza? I know that in other countries, scalpers are all around and purchasing tickets isn't an issue, but I don't know how it is in Brasil. With what I have read, the law prohibits people from selling tickets above face values, so there wouldn't really be an urge for anyone selling tickets outside of the stadium. I have been searching online for quite some time now, and have not been able to find any reasonablly priced tickets. your thoughts?

 

I have 2 extra Cat 2 Tickets R16 Fortaleza (Match 51)

Looking for:

Italy-Uruguay
Rio Quarterfinal

If a trade doesn't make sense, happy to sell my tix for face.

 

I have 4 x Bosnia vs Iran Cat 2 for $75 per ticket. Anybody interested?

 

ooops, wrong thread

 

you'll pay a lot for that! like $500! If you want to watch the match is better to buy before coming.

 

Ok good to know. Thanks

 

I still have extra tickets for Uruguay vs Costa Rica, Germany vs Ghana, and Greece vs Ivory Coast in various ticket categories in case anyone is interestd. I'm going to all 3 games with my brother and his girlfriend, but a bunch of my friends can no longer make the trip unfortunately

 

I'll be in Fortaleza June 20-22. Then heading to Jeri till either the 26th or 27th.

 

Guys I have two spare tickets for the Uruguay v Costa Rica game in Fortaleza that I'm practically giving away at $30 each. PM me if you're interested.

 

hello all joining this side of the forum as of today. i was happy to find out the ticket availability for the mexico vs. brazil last night decided to make this extra trip to fortaleza.

 

Welcome.... hit me up if you want to get together to head to and from the games

 

hey broski, i may or may not have extra seats to fortaleza immediately following the usa/ghana match (i am attending usa/ghana pending i dont sell ticket for usa/ghana) i will have to talk to my buddy from recife (the guy driving us around everywhere) to see if he has room. i will get back to you on this. do you have accomodation we could crash at just to sleep out that night of june 16?

 

hey man search for "fiesta mexicana en fortaleza -- torcida azteca" on facebook alot of us mexico fans are starting to network to decide where we will meet up and pregame and post game the matches.

 

Hi, got the chance to shoot Brazil-Mexico at the 17th. Want to go in/out the same day from Rio.
What is the best alternative? I checked some airlines - it´s rather hard to find a flight with acceptable prizes! Any idea?

Thx. in advance

Greetz

 

Anyone in fortaleza around from the 12-14th June, would be good to meet up with people to watch the games

 

Just joined the group - thanks for the heads up. I've been so busy with flights/accomodations that I haven't had a chance to network much for meetups with Mexican fans. See you guys there

 

Heck yea... looking forward to it

 

Perhaps someone from Fortaleza might be able to help?

We will be driving from Natal to Fortaleza on the morning of the 17th to attend the Brazil-Mexico match.
(We will watch the USA-Ghana match in Natal on the 16th.)

We will need to return our rental car at the airport that day, and would like to be able to drop off our gear at our hotel near Praia do Futuro before heading to the game, which is at 4pm.

I am a little worried about making this in time, especially given that parts of Fortaleza will be blocked off on game day.

Any suggestions on how we best handle this? We'll have a GPS with us, and phones (so we could use Waze -- not sure if other drivers use Waze in Fortaleza, but if they do we could get a sense of traffic conditions).
Sorry to bore you guys with our logistical challenges, but I am trying to figure out:
(1) What time we should leave Natal (I am thinking we leave at the crack of dawn; we've never driven in Brazil before, but do have experience driving in Africa, Southeast Asia, etc. -- in other words, we are novices to driving in Brazil, but it's not like we've never left Kansas)?
(2) I am thinking we drive to Praia do Futuro, drop off our gear and check into our hotel, and then head to the airport, and take a cab from the airport to the stadium -- is this doable?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have -- and see everyone in a few days in FTL!
