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

So no matter how fast scanner, still have to wait 4 minutes appear to dropdown menu.

 

FIFA finally sent out an email that you can actually resell your tickets.

 

Just received this - expect to see more activity on the platform

 

Getting tix for this WC has been super easy. Ironically getting accommodations is impossible

 

Hopefully increases supply more than demand given it was sent to ticket holders but no broad announcement.... Probably wishful thinking

 

The wheelchair seat for ARG-MEX is finally gone. No more fake hopes when being on the plateforme

 

Thank God for that!

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see huge drops near the tournament. I think FIFA knows that people will get desperate and buy hospitality as a way to secure their tickets. (I ended up buying 2 for Arg v Isl in 2018). As we get close to the game I think FIFA will release any leftovers. Be patient and you’ll get the tickets that you need.

 

All these unsold tickets from FIFA for some of the games. I wonder what would be their strategy/solution to fill those seats? Recently for the Liverpool vs Man U exhibition match in thailand, the ticket prices were ridiculous. The stadiums were half empty. They finally made an announcement to give those tickets away for free. I wonder if that would be the same strategy here.

 

They seem to be working like the 1980s there. Finally finished typing the memo with a typewriter.

 

Al Janoub stadium really got the short end of the stick of games. 974 has arguably the best slate of the 40k stadiums.

 

But there weren't huge drops for that ARG-ISL game, so wouldn't expect for high in demand games.

For that game I had bought through StubHub but the seller didn't deliver (probably because I had locked a lower price than last minute resale at the stadium) so I had to buy them at the stadium, but those were the times with paper tickets/easier unofficial resale.

At the end StubHub returned my payment and gave me an additional stipend so not bad resolution but a word of caution about sellers not delivering to tickets bought at unofficial resale when demand spikes.

 

Al Janoub will be full of folks who are staying in the clusters/fan zones and would rather go watch a non-appealing game than staying in the accommodation doing nothing or waiting for a check-in.

 

wonder if that was done on purpose lol

 

LOL, no

 

i got cat 1 somehow it like sold out in 4/5 seconds
Thank god i was logged in when it dropped

 

Portugal vs Uruguay still has one disabled ticket available although they have Ronaldo (just kidding)

 

Another drop, lots of cat 3 group games, no ARG etc

 

Does anyone know if there is a schedule to these drops or are they random?

 

They’re randomly scheduled lol there’s a general idea of when drops will happen but it’s not exact. It’s random +/- a few minutes.

 

ive noticed a lot of the apartments i saved used to have the prices from "coming soon" now say nothing at all. wonder if something is gonna change. I know for a fact a lot of the apartments I favorited never have been on sale. I originally wanted our group to grab one of the Mushaireb apartments but they literally have never been for sale. We went with the nearby Al Doha Al Jeedah which was taken off the market at some point.

 

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

 

got what you needed?

 

Guys I’m getting 2 different messages on two different tickets I put for resale. On the first one it says “your ticket has been resold”. On the other one it says “Your ticket is no longer valid”. And the subject of the mail received is also different. In first case it said, “ticket resale notification” on the second one it says “ ticket cancellation”. But the contents are same. Anyone getting the same message? Or is it just me

 

Hahaha I panicked when I read an email subject written "ticket cancellation" this morning...
