Going to Qatar 2022: tickets, accommodations, etc. (non-politics)

Thanks. When you say be fast, is it so that you can return for more tickets, or is it because your "seats" are not secured for the 15 min given to complete the purchase?

 

I remember one of the lessons learned from USA94 was NOT to align to European times. The entire tournament was aligned to Euro timezones and it turned out to terrible for players and fans. The final was played at 1;00pm LA time in July! it was over 40c on the pitch! So I think Euros will have to adjust like everyone else does in 2026.

 

If you're interested in several matches.. every second counts. As you're typing someone else is picking up tickets to your other matches.

 

so you can only buy one match at a time?

 

are we only able to purchase 1 match per queue during FCFS?
also if 1 account couldnt purchase 2 matches in 1 single day, am i recommend to create couple more accounts before hand?

 

No, you’ll get a time limit once you cart

 

You’ll be able to purchase multiple matches per cart. Just be quick, checkout as fast as you can. Remember, as user said above, each second you spend browsing or panicking, someone is flying through checkout and purchasing their tickets. Have a game plan made out as far as what you’ll hit for matches, the categories, quantity, if you need to enter guest info, etc etc.

 

So hypothetically I could cart 10 matches and then I have 15 minutes to pay? I just have to enter something for guest information for each match and that’s why it could take a long time? I guess I don’t understand why I would need to hurry and enter information if I don’t need to get back in and shop since I’ll cart everything. Thanks!

 

Does it not hold your tickets when they are in the cart? Like someone else could get them even if they are in your cart? Sorry I just want to be the best prepared as possible. Thanks!

 

In an ideal world, you would cart everything and then pay. The risk is if the website craps out on you, you might lose everything in your cart before you buy anything, and by the time you come back the tickets are all gone. But nobody knows the chances of that.

 

You want in and out quickly , the site starts to clog up as more and more people enter, when this happens payments don't go through glitches start happening ..

 

10 nights in west bay and flight for 3500 pounds ?
Which hotel is that ?

 

After u enter guest info once do u have to enter it again? If I remember correctly I enter the guest info once, and then it would save for the rest of the matches u are looking to buy, as an option for each match u select.

 

yes but it won't be saved from the previous times you've bought tickets... at least when i bought in the last fcfs i had to re-enter everything for the lottery.

 

Hi all I'm sure its been asked 1032892 times by now but any news on the next FCFS period? I've been out of touch on the forum since the last sales phase and don't fancy searching through 100 or so pages for an answer!

 

It seemed like with this new software once you have entered the guest data once it then appears in a drop-down box to be able to select it the next time you are entering guest data for a match. So you may just have to do it for the first ticket.

Also quite often as your timer runs out, another one of your other queue entries is ready to enter the shop.

 

Even if you had 1 game sucessful in your account ? Herewegoagain said data is saved if were sucessful in 1 game no ?

 

You only had to back 2 pages , 28th june 12 noon Doha time

 

Are the 4 stadium packages expected to be available during the FCFS?
Wondering they would be available or at this point it is all just individual games for sale.

 

4 am my time, Sounds like I am taking the 28th off work.

 

I know this is a silly question but I can't remember how it worked back in March. Do I have to log-in to that link way before time or it doesn't matter when I do ?

 

it doesn't matter if you click the link a bit before or way before, its pretty random. but iirc, the capcha appears around 5 min before they go on sale, do enter the numbers as soon as you see it appear

if you get in after though you will be pretty behind and probably have to wait hours to get into the portal

 

It all depends when you opened that page in each tab. Try spacing them every 30s or so and you'll get in faster. You definitely don't need separate cookie jars for this. But separate cookie jars gives you different positions in the queue, given that you solve each captcha after a small delay. These will give you distinct waiting times. In case your fcfs session expires before you purchase everything you need, you'd have another tab ready to get in shortly after.

I see you are asking the right questions

 

IIRC, last time people had to wait for half an hour in a queue before realizing it led to a "lottery is closed" page. Then they were half hour late to the correct queue. I may be misremembering things though.

 

Indeed. And this should be worse this time around.
