    Great. Just saw my Cat 1 seats for Match 62. 500 level at Al Bayt. We can't see 61 yet, but I am sure they will be bad.

    I'm doing the Germany and the Canada games obviously no issue with 4pm and 10pm kickoffs. Al Thumama is one of the more awkward venues. If the 7pm game there is your priority and you want a 2nd game then Morocco v Croatia in Al Bayt is probably the best bet. Any of these 4 games should be an easy ticket.

    I am dying to see where my seats are in 61, since they are cat 4’s I am just glad I am somewhere in the stadium . Finals I am in 564 row U, almost at the back , but they are better than 7xx blocks of cat 1

    I have tickets to South Korea v Portugal but I'd rather go to the Brazil v Cameroon game later that day -- but I can't cart Brazil v Cameroon since the games are too close together. I'd rather not give up my South Korea v Portugal tickets unless I can cart Brazil v Cameroon ones. Any ideas how I can do it?

    My friend would like to trade tickets for Morroco-Croatia match. He has 2 CAT3 tickets in block 544 (on Morrocan side). He would like to be on the other side of stadium where Croatia fans are.

    If anyone is interested, PM me

    Yeah i was a bit irked my friend went ahead and bought them. Especially since the same happened to us in 2018. Our Cat 2 final ticket was essentially the same seat as our Cat 1 semis.

    Think maybe the only time a Cat 1 final in upper level is ok is if you are exactly at Midfield.

    I see it now. Section 3.7 "Booking transfer is only permissible until the cut-off date, 15 October 2022.". That said, is anyone interested in a room 2 single beds in the good barwa cluster K :)

    I am basically doing this exact thing - I will cut the Portugal game short and head to Brazil - really want to see Lusail stadium. I asked a few pages back, so allow me to pass along the knowledge. @leonidas let me know that - You need to make a second Fifa account. Use a different email address and credit card to purchase. Should be fine using same details as first account. This is how it has been done for past cups, but nobody knows for sure until the first match. Dont sweat it!

    yea i was finally able to check mine with the "resell your tickets" trick . . .
    sec 324 in al janoub & section 514 in lusail (both cat 1s)

    i bought them in early phases which allowed me to book flights and accommodations with less stress . . . at this point im going to try and add another cat 1 in last minute phase but super close to the action

    happy to be in the stadium and not having to be on the computer waiting for drops, but def frustrating

    yeah you would like that but 100% no. I meticulously documented all our seats, and then they moved them. So I think FIFA is still resolving some seating for some matches - for whatever reason.

    Both are on the metro. You should easily be able to wait until the final whistle and still make kick off in Lusail. I'm doing the other games that day and Al Thumama is much tougher but still expect to see the final whistle there and anthems in 974.

    After checking zillion times: in both 974 and Lusail: 100’s series block is the good stuff, other than that, no. Rows starts at A and ends at ZZ. Nobody knows what’s a corner block and only Infantino and his entourage has midfield seats.

    On the other hand, here in the US, the supporter tickets for US qualifiers at the initial sale are like divided into 10 categories. And you can bet that some of the more mediocre categories are even more expensive than a bad Cat 1 at the WC

    Upper level 974 seats are still fine. It's a small stadium. Lusail on the other hand.

    it was said long ago on these forums but should be repeated. The stadium that are NOT on the metro line are the ones that start with "Al"

    I think upper level in the 6 smaller 40k stadiums can be just fine. I am in the 3rd row of Ahmad Bin Ali for USA v Wales and I think those seats will be just fine. If I was all the way back in the very last rows then not so good, but the front part of the upper sections are OK to me.

    Thanks for your input. I do think the 4pm and 10pm ones will be better matches, but have some Spaniards in the group and would like to for the most part stick together. Will likely go from Spain vs Costa Rica to Canada vs Belgium then.

    I’ve sold 2 out of 3. I’m nervous about selling rd16 because it’s just going to be a couple days in between when the game is known and when it’s played. Plus for me, depending how Korea does, it may end up being an unattractive match.
