    For People doing back to back matches for QF, I have timed my metro journey for you. It took me 1 hour 18 Minutes. I have attached a screen shot with various lap times.

    Since I wanted to watch penalties and soak up the atmosphere I left my seat after a 5 min celebration, took some videos and jumped around with the Moroccans, if I left at the whistle, I would have saved 5-7 minutes plus the Lap 1 and lap 2 times.

    Lap 1: 9 Minutes. The time it took me to exit my seat and reach the metro security check block. In education city they stop you nearer to the metro gates and do not let everyone go in. This lap I actually ran, because from experience I knew this is make or break for rest of the journey, that is why time is only 9 minutes, previous games it took me 20 min casual walk.

    Lap 2: 10 min, it took them to gradually let every one into the metro and get on the train. ( This will vary depending on how fast you do the lap 1, reach early this time will be less.

    Lap 3 : 17 min, time it took to Al Bidda, I did not get down in Al bida as someone metioned. Was a mistake, I just lost 3 min 30 seconds, Get down in musherib.

    Lap 4: time it took me not getting down in Al Bidda station , going to Musherib and then coming back to al bidda , Could have saved this time if got down in Musherib.

    Lap 5: 24 min , metro ride to Lusial.

    Lap 6: 15 min, Exit metro to seat on level 5. (I jogged a little but mostly was brisk walk).


    I reached at 10:10 . If I did not wait for celebration and got down in musherib, I would have made it by 10 for the whistle.


    Once the first game goes to penalties, then we need to rush. If no extra time, this is a breeze. I know someone made it before 10 with S2S, but the problem is there are others who reached at half time. S2S can have problems like getting in traffic or driver taking a wrong turn. If we do lap 1 fast and get into the metro station, remaining times are constant so we approx. know when we can reach Lusail.

    After last night’s games, this World Cup is a wrap for me. Writing this from my transit airport. Now time to go back and watch it on television with some Peter Drury commentary.

    I don’t have any previous World Cup experience to compare this to but Qatar was an unforgettable experience for me. I got to see why the World Cup is called the biggest festival in the world and it’s not even an exaggeration. Coming back from games at 2-3 AM, then playing 5v5s in the clusters with people from all over till 5-6 in the morning, surviving on 4-5 hours sleep, living on Shwarmas and Karaks, meeting and talking with new people everyday, it was just insane. Loved every bit of it.

    I would have laughed at anyone if they had ever said I would get to go to and watch 20 World Cup games live just 7 months back, but this community and the WhatsApp groups etc made it possible.

    Grateful to be here and being a part of this community.

    I hope you get tickets you need and wish all the best to the Nations you’re rooting for.

    Cheerios!

    Aagh, I had both M55 and M56 and had planned to attend both. However, it was my last day so had to do some shopping for my wife (who I didn't bring along) so reluctantly had to give M55 away. Looks like I missed a cracking atmosphere.

    On my recent check in for a different room, I personally saw 2 different people extended their booking in my 10 minutes being there. Previously, they said go through QAA etc. But I saw them do it without any restrictions just 2 days ago

    Good morning
    Anyone know how much you can move around in Lusail and Al Bayt stadiums? I mean can you move between levels or sides of a stadium to meet friends at half time or sit with a friend in another section or level if there are spare seats/at least take a picture together inside, that kind of thing.
    Thanks

    If you're on the same level yes easy, but other levels is not possible because you scan straight into stairs that go to your level

    I did snag a nice England - France. Maybe they did something about bots? Was that voice captcha for resale? I also saw some Morocco portugal tickets. Not sure how easy they were to cart.

    Yup, it was for resale. Not sure if it's the same for you but for some reason my England - France resale page doesn't show the actual tickets. Just has a drop down like FCFS

    it’s a bug. it sometimes reloads the page as FCFS. You need to reload the resale link. Try these. First one is international and second for domestic if you have an account.

    Am doing the same dates for my second trip. Not much available at all seemingly; thought some hotels would free up with teams/media going home as countries got eliminated. FIFA have also helpfully removed all of the Barwa Al Janoub clusters from the QAA, no chance that they're really fully booked.
