    Went to the Al Bidda one last night and walked in around 9pm. No issues on the capacity and walk in.

    My friend had his name as just "k" and didn't have an issue passing the immigration here. Just as long as you get on the flight, you should be fine here

    My first attempt on doing the 6 to 10pm combo today. Got a different name on my first game (Belgium vs Croatia) at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium. Noticed that they scan the hayya and your tickets. Will there be a problem getting in?

    They never checked my name in any of the matches I went to.

    We’re at match 41! Names on tickets don’t matter. The first few games they may have been checks by inexperienced security. But I’ve been going in as Mickey Mouse to all my games. Today will be game 17. Just get in the stadium!

    Thanks @Cuenca for helping me out with Match#
    That brief unfinished message above enabled me to have spare tickets for M39. All credit to @Cuenca for buying me a pair of M39 tickets, whilst we were going from one stadium to another and he had briefly stepped out of Doha, a couple of days back. With his awesome iMacros, I had even basketed 3 M39 tickets last week, but couldn't complete the purchase due to network issues on my phone here.
    Besides, the account which I gave to Fede, had M1 in it's username, as I was looking for M1 tickets from home for Cuenca, who was in Doha at the time. I wasn't able to basket from that FCFS drop though, but have used that dom account since.
    My plan was to purchase the ticket and provide the login details onwards, just like how a certain someone called @herewegoagain had done for me many years ago. We can only pay it forward, I suppose.
    It was awesome to get to know @Fedechat & @negrogp and what an entertaining evening it was! I look forward to meeting Cuenca tomorrow :thumbsup:

    Keep an eye on this forum. @wixson7 updates meet-up and stadium march info, prior to each game.

    Here is the pic of the menu from MSC Poesia's sushi bar. Should give you an indication of the price ranges. Booze is available, but is quite expensive. IMAGE 2022-12-01 09:43:17.jpg

    Definitely agree with the everyone that paying it forward is the way to go. We are all football fans at the end of the day.

    Was really hurt to watch M24 from home knowing I had a ticket to the game but was happy someone else got the experience. Really needed M39 after that and it was so, so awesome!

    Thanks to @costasp for giving me a ticket at FV. Such a down to earth guy, really enjoyed watching the game with him!

    So many here have been very kind, I hope to meet so many more of you. Glad I was able to help someone else before getting helped myself and will continue to do so!

    Not for the entry permit, but for the match day voucher I have the same problem…everywhere else on my Hayya portal I can see my full name. Including my entry permit. Haven’t entered Qatar yet though so I’m not sure if this will be a problem or not

    Question to who are using shuttle flights...
    Can I take a new Ooredoo Sim Card each time that I go to Doha?

    How early do you guys start the fcfs or resale site login for the 10am qatar time drop? I started at 9am but just passed halfway and now looks likely I'm miss the drop. I'm also in US and had stayed awake for this! Would know better for the future though. Seems 8:30am was the way to go.

    This should not be an issue, if the game gets over without going into extratime and penalties. In that case, you can watch the full game without skipping anything at all.
    I have been doing atleast two matches everyday and in recent days, I have started to use the S2S buses. I was at Education City for the France game yesterday and took a S2S shuttle after the game got over; arrived at Stadium 974 with about 40 minutes to kick-off.

    For peace of mind, I sugegst you walk to the Taxi stand and get onto an Uber.

    I will be doing double header R16s and will stick to S2S for normal time finishes and cab for extra time/penalties. R52 & R51 will certainly need an Uber.

    So for anyone doing the M53-M54 combo, its quite an easy one. I did not do much Double headers due to getting the Flu at the beginning of the tournament and having work commitments.

    Yesterday i did the 37 -39 pair, i even went home freshened up , grabbed something to eat and even with a 30 min walk from parking in 974, still made it to seat at 9:15. So even if the first match goes to extra time, take an uber or those illegal taxi drivers who are there in front of every stadium and they will drop you closer to 974.

    Even though i have tickets, i will not be doing it, but for those that are going to, it is still a very doable combo.

    From Lusail it took me like 45 minutes to find the shuttle buses (they are behind the tall towers) and another 45 minutes to Souq Waqif. I don't know how much time you need to go to Al Janoub from the souq.
