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

I made it to the 8 stadiums already. It was easier than expected. Stadium 974 my favorite

 

Took me about two hours total I’d say. Already inside watching Netherlands/Ecuador on the stage screen. We’re all going to be deaf after this right?

 

Guys, does anyone know how Viagogo or Stubhub are sending tickets?

 

974 is the only one I’ve yet to visit. Brazil vs Switzerland on Monday will make it a full 8.

 

Seller will just transfer the tickets to you and then you accept them in the app, with the same email that's tied to a FIFA account. Very smooth process. However, the app has been getting annihilated and lots of tickets are stuck in limbo... some user reported it took an hour just for the recipient to get their tickets on match day!

 

There's a McDonalds as well as Lamzani which sells kebabs

 

Also done all 8, favourite is Al Bayt with Al Thumama in 2nd.

Definitely recommend the McDonalds at Al Bayt, quick and efficient but check out the aesthetic, nice touch.

 

What’s the process looking like for unsold tickets last minute? Looking for 1 extra for M22 tomorrow for a friend living in Doha to attend with us and have seen the stadiums being somewhat empty for some games on tv

 

With all due respect, locals just don’t know how to behave when hopping into a metro station or waiting in lines. I’ve been to plenty of events around North America and Europe and I’ve never seen anything like this. Just brutal.

The organizers clearly were not prepared for crowd control. Volunteers (or voluntolds) are very poorly trained and do little in the way of organizing the crowds. This place is just overwhelmed with the people that are here.

 

Downgraded from cat 1 to cat 2 for Eng USA and ended up in the 300 level right in front of the uk studio team.

 

I'm looking for match 34 - Iran vs USA. In case anyone has it, I'm already in Doha.

 

Express busses are clearly the way to go to get home. Nobody is using them when there is a metro option. Left 5 minutes after the final whistle and watched 95% of the people leaving Al Bayt walk to the metro shuttle to Lusail. I went to the bus hub and was on a bus to West Bay with zero wait. We’re currently cruising with no traffic back to Doha

 

Can I send my CAT 4 ticket to my friend in UK or do they have to be residents?

 

Me too. Going to go to that match instead of England vs Wales

 

Al Bayt is my favorite Stadium so far because the bus hub is so damn close to the stadium. Also it’s a nice walk through a park to get there

 

There were lots of CAT 3 tickets for match 24 in Intl Resale about an hr ago. I was checking while at AL Bayt.

 

Is 115 to 120 Argetina side?

 

If anyone has M41 (Belgium/Croatia) and/or M46 (Portugal/Korea), please reach out!! Thank you

 

There is no restriction when sending tickets

 

Dont take uber on the way back in Al Bayt. Been in the parking lot for +40min.

On the way to Al Bayt uber wasn’t that bad.

 

I’m on the bus back to Al Janoub. Was like a 10 min walk to get to the hub and 5 mins to get on the bus and go

 

Well done.
Regret my decision

 

Has the Discord stopped working? Totally missed on that.

 

M34 is available in international FCFS. I just carted one.

 

Does anyone have current information about going from Dubai to Doha by private bus or rental car? I know this is a controversial topic, but just curious if anyone has made the trip already so we can have real information.
