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

Well Cat 4 tickets are not for the "poor" Qatari. They usually buy Cat 1, even if other category tickets are available. These tickets are for the Expats lol.

 

I was on ESP vs GER page even before the alert from Discord, and still couldn't cart

 

Monitoring tickets other than a basic scan is not possible when managing crowds of this size. The other issue is that FIFA doesn’t want empty seats at big games as it shows that there was a failure of some kind.

Think of all the cat 4s that will be sold unofficially throughout the tournament. FIFA would rather those people go than have people say what went wrong why were hundreds of people kicked out of the stadium leaving empty seats. That means an enquiry etc.

I personally won’t buy a cat 4 ticket or use the domestic portal but I would be very surprised if there are issues.

 

I saw that too. It went quick

 

same @Shahabp

 

Eng vs USA Cat 2 seems available.

 

I was able to cart it, but I haven't been able to cart the other games I WANT. i won't be there for that date. I was just seeing if I could cart it.

 

I wouldn’t risk accessing the CAT4 section if I m an international fan especially if it is under the name of a real friend living in Qatar. It is a huge risk for me and for him

 

I thought that if the main applicant is not attending the game, the guests cannot attend the game either?

 

So a resale drop on Sunday at around 5 UTC (new timing) is washing away all drop timing trend analysis

 

The restriction is for selling tickets, not for attending the games. Guests can go and see the match even if the main applicant does not attend.

 

Whether we agree or disagree, the reality is no one here cares about your personal stance on early and current pandemic COVID policy. And if they did, this REALLY isn’t the forum to discuss it.

 

So if the main applicant cannot go, can someone else use it?

 

Sorry to ask but went back a few pages where the question was asked but no answer i dont think, but what does it mean when an email says 'ticket cancellation' and the ticket being no longer valid? Is there a problem or poor email wording following a sale???

 

Someone correct me if I am wrong please: The resale portal is only open until August 16th, so if the tickets do not sell by then, we will not be able to sell the tickets we don't want after that date?

Thanks!

 

We received an email regarding the resale.
In this email the following wording answers your question:
“FIFA Ticketing will make another resale window available, closer to the tournament, during a period that will be informed in due course.”

 

Yes, there will be 1 more resale period nearer to the tournament. It is mentioned on the website.

My guess is that it would correspond with the last 2 weeks of Last Minute FCFS like this current one.

 

Thank you guys!

 

Hello folks,
I will be staying at Istanbul for the next 2 weeks, if anybody is interested in some scarf exchange (I'd be offering Besiktas/Galatasaray scarves) please DM me so we could discuss it.

 

i thought the next resale window be like the last minute phase. Open from like early october until the end of the tournament?

 

Televisa broadcast 10 of 38 World Cup matches in 1978. Pretty good actually, but hardly comprehensive.

https://www.nytimes.com/1978/06/01/...p-goal-20-million-seen-in-us-tv-in-us-is.html

Prior to 1978, even less. It would seem your memory is about as optimistic as the @Humble Argentinian's perspective of Argentina winning this year's World Cup. A 1 in 8 betting odds doesn't translate into 60% and 10 of 38 certainly does not represent an entire coverage of a tournament.

Looks like ITV and BBC had better coverage in 1978, but sill not 100%

I re-affirm that 1982 was the first World Cup that someone could watch all the matches from their living room, albeit some delayed a few hours.

 

I doubt cat 4 entry will be a problem. My only concern is they require locals to confirm residence before tickets get placed into their account

 

Yeah then maybe the resale window would be open till the end of the WC as well?
I'm just guessing, could very well be wrong.

 

We have Franz Beckenbauer , Gerd Müller , Lothar Matthäus ,Andy Brehme and Mario Götze - we don't needed Messi

 

Sounds like someone is triggered by their overly compliant covid19 cognitive dissonance. If people's liberties to attend this World Cup are going to be infringed, it's worth questioning why and certainly worth sharing some recent data. This forum addresses travel issues to Qatar, so it is the right place to highlight some key data and current global policy trends concerning restrictions. Agree however that an endless debate on the science would derail this platform, but passing remarks on policy seem very appropriate. I've had 3 jabs and don't particularly want to be forced into a 4th just so I don't lose thousands of dollars invested in this World Cup.
