Does anyone know how to view the details of the applicant and the guests on the succesful phase one ticket applications? How many TST series can you order in one phase of ticket sales? I know for an individual match, you can order up to 7 matches with 4 tickets per match, but for TST, when I tried to apply one, I can only select 1 TST series (although it allows me to order up to 4 tickets). How come? Thanks.
phase 2 may 4 to nov 16 100,000 tickets to be sold, does it take that long to sell?? unless they sell 10,000 ticket a month????
they do also say they'll be at ticket collection centres (including some at airports). I don't think it's a big stretch to assume these will be manned centres. aaarggh! One thing I have just seen in that pdf - "Cat 2 tickets will be next to the Cat 1 tickets in the corners. Cat 3 will be behind the goal". So Cat 3 tickets actually offer a better view than Cat 2 tickets!
Well its a bit of a guessing game, no-one knows exactly how it will work. My guess would be that the CC can be used to print tickets but that there will be support on hand should we need it.

No. No email or SMS received. I emailed them about this and all I got (after a one week wait) was an automated reply suggesting I check the FIFA website for the standing of my application. Without an application number (which is not available for posted/faxed orders) this is impossible. So I might have been allocated tickets (even the final!) which I was prepared to pay for but they are now going to be thrown into the second phase of sales. Extremely bloody frustrating.
Were on the same boat i guess. I also sent an email and also received the exact same email back. very annoying indeed. I have a feeling that everyone who faxed/mailed their application are in the same situation.
Yes. I've lost track of why this discussion came about exactly, but I think we're agreed that: The expected existence of machines means that all you *should* need in order to pick up tickets is the card used to pay for them, no other ID. On the other hand, if you are in some kind of difficulty, there will be ticketing staff to talk to, somewhere. They're very likely to want to see ID.
Dear people, since so many days ive been reading that ur application statuses hv changes to paid and i was wondering why mine was still 'pending to pay'. I luckily saw my application again and read 'payment required' and the link to pay. I had used my grandma's card but now I have mine....just got it yesterday and transferred money in the account. I paid and it gave me a message that payment has been accepted! now the status shows, "paid". so now i can be sure i got them tickets right? even though its the 3rd of may and phase 2 begins tomrw?
Does ayone know if you will have to collect ALL your tickets at the same time? We have TST7s and we're probably going to be in SA for 3 weeks or a month (depending on the draw). I'd be keen not to be carrying our Semi-final and Final tickets around with us....
Assuming it will work as in 2006, you will pick your 3 group game tickets at the beginning of the tournament. The 4 knock-out round tickets will be available for you only after the group phase. This is because as long the group phase is still on, you don't know if your TST7 is for the group winner or runner-up. I'm not sure you will have an option to collect only one or two tickets at a time, but in 2006 (I had TST6) I got all my 3 knock rounds tickets at once. Anyway, since in this WC its machines it might be possible. I also have TST7 for this WC (hopefully... Paraguay) and it's a good question.
New to all of this and in particular this brilliant website for soccer fans and geniune ones at that. I hope to go for the later stages of the world cup next year say from the quarter finals onwards. my question is do you think they will sell tickets for the later stages again in the later phases of the sales or will it be possible to get tickets over there off people who will not rip you off. I have really enjoyed all the e-mails and comments and I wish everyone best of luck and good wishes for their own world cup dreams.
I would like to see england play in wc10 if u are a betting man which group would u think they will place??
hard to know where they would place england. usually they don't make it easy for english fans and so they could be anywhere but how about Durban or Cape town
I think their will be plenty of tickets floating around for games in the later stages including the Final. The draw will also deternine if a large supply of tickets are available for certain games. Can't see many people based in Johanesburg traveling to Cape Town for a single game. The rigours of traveling around SA for a month will have worn off near the end of the tournament for many people who have TST tickets. Once their teams are out of the tournament I can see lots of these tickets being available for sale. The price will depend on supply and demand but I can't see many people travelling to South Africa without tickets so hopefully the price won't be to prohibitive.
thanks for that I will try to get some tickets before going and then hopefully pick up some tickets while i am there.
Phase 2 will not include Semis and Final. Later phases might, since people who got semis and final in phase 1 and didn't pay for them for one reason or another, I think those tickets might get sent back to the pool. As for getting tickets overthere, I was in Germany 2006, I went to 7 matches, R16,QFs,SFs and in all of them I saw people selling tickets outside the stadium and it was very reasonable compared to internet prices. However, going to a city, getting into a hotel, preparing to go to a game not even knowing if you have ticket, is not my cup of tea. I'd rather overpay a little and have the peace of mind of planning my trip. Im hoping to score a Final ticket over there as well... we'll see Good luck
thanks for that and I hope to get at least some tickets beforehand as you say not much fun trying to get tickets when you are there much better to have them in your back pocket ok front pocket. enjoy your world cup and how are haiti doing in the world cup
all depends whose playing... very early to make the assumption that there will be plenty of tickets knocking about for that one. This second sale will be interesting, not gonna bother myself as i have final tickets & with loyalty points to get england tickets from the FA. I wonder if people will get excited and the whole lot will sell out or if a number of games will be unsold until the draw is made.
Re: "Pay for these tickets" Was partially successful in the first phase but FIFA do not seem to have attempted to charge my credit card. I emailed them and they responded that "you will need to log back into your account, click on "Pay for these Tickets" and follow the on screen instructions" . I don't see a "Pay for these tickets" button- wondering if anyone else had this issue?
We have not made it since 74, already eliminated for 2010 and I think 2014 too. Social, economics and political environments reflects on our football. They are passionate about football here... but the football federation only care about their back pockets or front pockets as you put it Their policy " One step forward, 3 steps backwards" 2007 digicel carribean cup champions, they even beat trinidad, now we cant beat panama and martinique... Dont get me started lol They have brazil though as their NT so.... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8UMcujrHpo"]YouTube - Brazil playing in Haiti[/ame]
