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

Thanks for the heads up! Looking to pick up a couple as souvenirs.

 

I might, depending on where Portugal ends up. I might have an extra set of Match 62 to swap for match 61.

 

Quick question.. what are the places to visit before games.. corniche, souq waqif… what else.. and what order just in case i dont get to all of them i leave the worst for last, thanks

 

FWIW, I tested myself for Covid and came up negative. If anyone is looking for a rapid test, lmk. I’ve plenty to share if anyone wants some peace of mind.

 

A friend went to the pearl and he loved it…says that it reminded him of Venice. Lusail Blvd is nice, too. I’ve not been to any museums but the museum of Islamic art looks nice.

 

Yes, it definitely seems that back-to-back matches at 18.00 and then at 22.00 are totally doable. I arrived to Qatar today and did the Khalifa to Al Thumama route with time to go to my hotel. I left at the 86th minute of Senegal- Ecuador out of caution, but I think I could have waited till the end. I got at Al Thumama around 21.35, and was at my seat just before kickoff.

Except for tomorrow, I will continue doing it back-to-back matches. Al Thumama to Al Bayt seems to be the most challenging. I'll do it on Sunday.

 

Katara and Lusail Bldv are definitely a must.

 

Hey all - arriving in Qatar Thursday!

Wondering how you experienced folks rate my chances of getting from Ghana Uruguay to Brazil Cameroon - Al Janoub to Lusail? Shuttle bus? Uber? Any experiences?

Also still looking for M50 in the off chance anyone knows of anything...

 

Thanks.. im staying at the pearl so lusail blvd will be first one, thanks

 

Hi folks. Just landed in Doha me and wify.
Any budget place to sleep in Doha? My original accomodation booking starts in few days and i landed bit earlier

 

I’m toying with this but does seem tight, especially if 18:00 game goes to extra time. Think will only do it if ends up being France Argentina and even then, as an Englsnd fan, will have to be prepared to miss it if goes to extra time

 

Anyone willing to trade a pair of M39 (POL ARG) seats that are next to each other for three tickets of the same match? My three tickets are bought in resale, last row seats in different blocks but it's a very small stadium with great views from everywhere. Please send me a DM. Thanks.

 

How is the Metro getting out of Khalifa? The bus hub is a schlep so I’m thinking I may try metro next time if there’s not a likelihood of ending up in a 3 hour line

 

it’s terrible. Looking at a 1+ hour line just to get onto the metro even 1 hour after the game. Advice is leave a bit early or plan to hang out at the mall for 1+ hours or take Uber/unofficial Uber home.

I’ll swap with you if Australia finish 2nd in the group… picked up extra m61 thinking no way they advance, now I might be stuck with extra m61 and no m62 if Denmark doesn’t win. Would love to get m62 and offload my m61 extras!

 

Visited the coke booths and they handed it over to us. Had lots of it there

 

So no drop this morning?

 

Arriving early M51. Let me know if you have extra M52's (Cat 3) they want to get rid off? Can take 3 of them. Also posted in forum for ticket sales.

 

Anyone doing M37 - M39 combo today? I haven't done many combos, and still sticking to one match a day. But haven't visited Al Janoub yet for the world cup, and games are running out, there so planning to do this.

 

Totally doable if you leave before the herd or you take a taxi

 

Drop in resale. But they took me off the queue, hahaha, sons of b*tches!

 

Would love to add a M39 to my M38 but I doubt I’ll be able to add it.

 

Been to

Urgh. Me too. Got logged out

 

Same here. I’m not going to bother with it anymore.
