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

Drop right now but mex x arg were gone in 3 seconds

 

That was quite a big drop, I bagged 2 Poland - Saudi tickets for a friend of mine

 

It's starting to be clear that we will have 3 big drops per day ! I think they are doing this so that people from different time zones could score their tickets.

 

Silly Q, are these drops on the main site (not the resale portal)?

 

I agree i didn’t see any Final or 2nd Semi
Everything else had a sale

 

I can get availability numbers here and there, but not when the drop happens, as I'm looking for tickets myself. Feds/sponsor returns should be a lot larger indeed.

 

Any (almost) specific time we should start expecting drops to happen ?

 

It's quite hard to react fast once you get one alert. Every time I got one, I went to my tab where I'd opened the match I faced that the session was expired, so I need to re-login and then it's too late.

 

Just for my education: When you say bots, do you mean there is a way to set up a software (similar to what the scanners do) that not only recognizes when tickets are dropped but that also carts them?

 

I have found that it is around 730-0800UTC, 1630-1700UTC and then I think 2330-0000UTC if my time zone math is correct

 

I guess so, yes. If you can develop something to scan and emit an event to discord, you can also make an "automatic click" to add it to the cart.

 

I'm going to this one as well - part of the 4-match package I bought in phase 1, and my last live game before I travel home late that night.

 

For anyone looking for hotel - Radisson Blu isn’t showing availability yet but has appeared/moved between other $300 per night properties. I would think rates will appear soon. Whether it remains around that price is another matter

 

thank god for this forum and the discord app, i was trying to get two main games.

USA vs IRAN which i scored today, and the Poland Vs Argentina which ill keep looking out for.

 

I've set up a super fast scanner (only for the tickets I need) both here in Brazil and in the US. The availability info (needed to show the dropdown menu) was 4 full minutes late here. When I finally got a dropdown menu, I didn't even bother, as the remote scanner showed they had been taken 4 minutes before hahaha.

 

No criticism intended of those who have helpfully provided scanners, but back in 2006 , the legend known as “Sleeper” enabled us to select our desired matches and categories, enter our credit card details, and wake up in the morning to look in our inboxes for the confirmation emails.
Eternally grateful! ❤️

 

Why the US scanner is faster? Is it random or continent based? Would the EU server even faster?

 

That was going to be my guess. They want more fans to have tickets available.

 

legend

 

Managed to get Por v Uru and since that extends my stay till the 28th, bought a Bel v Mor ticket as well. Only thing that I want now is Spain v Germany. And maybe Por v Ghana.

Decent drop this one just as I was having my coffee at 9am PT

 

So it would seem to me that there are 3 drops per day separated by about 8 hrs. Each drop simply releases the returns accumulated in the previous 8 hr time frame, give or take. As I imagine returns will steadily decrease over the next 2 weeks as people offload what they don't want, I think the drops will become progressively smaller. Of course as folks pick up what they need, the competition may also drop. Personally I think the LMS will be more fruitful.

 

Caching. I'll find out which is faster

 

I think its tv scheduling, 2 hour gap enough to have post and pre match with a small break for audience. Lots of casual fans watch the wc and you dont want 3-4 hours between end and beginning of matches where they will wander away from your channel.
