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

I think it was a ticket or two for those demand games, I never had any luck with it

 

No luck either, the website kept kicking me out too. Based on yesterday’s trend, I’m thinking they’ll have another real mini one in the next 8-20 min. Hope someone here gets M7 and M39!!

 

Spot on, Match 8 just popped up briefly. I hit add to cart, and it didn't give error message right away, for like 2 seconds I thought I had it. But, nope. LOL

 

48 hours waiting to resale1 ticket M48 Brazil-Cameroon category 2... Anybody with same problem for this or other game, I mean other game with high demand.

 

It’s crazy. I just think there are scripts in place. The tickets are gone in less than 3 seconds

 

I saw M39 tickets cat2 before than scanner because I was in the page and I could not cart any!!!

 

I was wonder if someone can use their magic to show how many tickets are available for those demand games on the 3rd party reseller platform, ie stubhub. might be a good idea to see where those tickets are went.

 

Yes obviously there’s “auto carting” script running

 

Indeed, a scanner is not the best tool for the job. I even mentioned it before:
"This kind of scanner is only useful during these early phases of ticket drops. In a few months, when demand gets higher and drops smaller, an alarm like this will not be sufficient enough.

In the beginning of the LMS phase it should be better.

 

Keep trying, man - I picked up Match 8 just yesterday in one these mini drops and I’m sure you will too!

 

I've also been struggling to get rid of Australia vs Denmark. Hope someone bites as we ended up getting France vs Tunisia which is at the same time.

 

I wish I knew you were looking to get rid of this, I would have taken it off your hands.

 

I was almost able to cart Bel vs Cro but then it said I had a conflict. Turns out 1 of my 2 resale tickets wasn't sold yet so it wouldn't let me cart otherwise would have. Sigh.

 

More than 50% of the matches still have tickets available as of today. Almost all of them are group play. Yet I received an email last night promoting accommodation availability during the knock out stages. Hmm, strange email. One would think they would send an email assuring more accommodations during the first 2 weeks is on its way, and plenty of group play match tickets still available.

 

I still think they have about a dozen matches with poor sales, and so they are dripping the more popular matches so as to encourage buyers to look at those matches. Not a bad strategy in my opinion. Some of those 12 matches will be very good ones: Ecuador v Senegal, Canada v Belgium or Croatia or Morocco, Ghana v Uruguay or Korea, Serbia v Switzerland or Cameroon, Japan v Costa Rica, USA v Wales, Tunisia v Australia, etc.

 

All matches will sell out. 1.5 million people in a city with nothing to do… “oh, let’s just go watch Canada play, we have nothing better to do!”.

 

Agreed provided commutes between matches work well, and not all the unsold tickets are cat 1 @ $225/seat. Expand sections 2 thru 4 at those games and I think you're right.

 

This is happening to me as well but I think it's because they haven't put any M48 CAT 2 tickets for resale yet. It has been only CAT 1 and 3 so far.

 

Is it ok to buy some tickets with a second FIFA account? I know some people here are doing that but how do you manage it then? FIFA is not doing cross-check accounts like the same passport?

 

I use 2nd account under my wife's name and passport

 

If by "sold out" you mean filled with bussed in school kids or others so the stadiums don't look empty for the TV cameras, then yeah, I agree.

 

What are you talking about man ? Schools will be closed, so a lot of kids (not interested in football) will be outside the country for a month..kids of expats who stay in Qatar for the world cup have their ticlets (and trust me they dont need free tickets or free shuttles to go there). All Labor outside the country during the world cup, a bit of sense plz

 

The large concentration of FIFA fans in one city will be a record. FIFA may expand CAT3 and CAT2 to fill the low sales games. I just dont see 1.5 million fans just sitting around everyday doing nothing. There's not much to do in Doha, why not spend 100 - 200 on a world cup game? That's why wer'e in that city for right? the games. These guys got it all planed out.
