I know it's little early but I just noticed that the official ticket sale will begin first quarter of 2005. That's before any of the qualifiers are decided and teams grouped and assigned base cities. So how do you buy tickets to Korea matches, or any other specific matches you want to go to. Anyway...anyone on this board planning to go?
i'm definetely planning on going. damn cousin better let me stay him for like two weeks...heheh... i think you just gotta wait i think til you buy tickets for specific teams. anyways, there's always scalping tickets and i think that it's legal over there to do so.
I am plannig to go if Iran qualifies. My dad's best friend lives in Germany so we don't have to stay at a hotel.
Id go just to see what hardcore hooligans look like... [Germany]...on second thought. jk Germany sounds like total blast. Beer and hotdogs...yummo
We are going.... flying into Frankfort, staying with relatives in some lil town called Zweibrucken.... hopefully get tix to a game or 2 in Frankfort....
ich spreche deutsch auch aber ich kann nicht nach Deutschland gehen!!! (I speak German too but I can't go to Germany) I'll be enjoying peeling potatos. lol.
Unfortunately I'll either be attending summer school or going to officer training in 2006, meaning that i could miss the entire world cup! BLOODY HELL !
I have family by Munich and they'll love to have me I'm sure. Can I "base" myself in Munich and try to catch the games?
By then, my PhD program would be over, but hopefully I can get a job lecturing here in London. If so, I'll definitely be getting myself to Germany. If not, my ass will be back in California, or somewhere in the states. If S. Korea makes it, maybe people from the forum can meet for the first time, face-to-face.
My son had been approached about participating in a youth tournament as a guest player with a US club team in Germany during the World Cup. The players would be staying with host families. I am still waiting to hear if the host families will accept fathers too.
Did you mean "when S. Korea makes it ...?" Actually, some of us can meet face-to-face for any of the 3 matches Korea plays in US early next year. Many posters here reside in West Coast, USA. I am surprised noone started to organize it yet.
I'd really only consider it if Korea makes it to the tournament. I know that it's great to catch the atmosphere even if your team isn't there, but it's that more special if they are. Also, the future Missus would have to agree but the fact she caught onto the joys of supporting the national team from the last World Cup plus it would mean seeing Germany will make persuasion somewhat easier. Again, it depends on whether Korea makes it to the tournament. I think my persuasion power would be weakened if I had to convince her that watching any other side is equally fun (plus convincing myself).
You can buy tickets to follow a specific team, or to a specific venue. Go do it as soon as tickets are available to the public. Just make sure you have a Valid Passport first, as FIFA requires that in order to have your application accepted.
I remember purchasing my tickets in Korea for the 2002 WC. I was visiting Seoul, and I stopped by a post office near the Kyobo building. They asked me for a Korean national identity card, which I don't have. So a friend of mine had to get the tickets for me.
