    No issues mate. The word is being loosely used with -ve connotation and that just seems unfair.
    As you said, a misunderstanding that shouldn't be dwelt upon.

    I meant activated. I see the ticket but it's not activated. Does it have to be activated before I can transfer it ?

    The activation only comes on matchday when you get close to the stadium, you can transfer them before that

    And 105 section, Row J for England-France gone in the blink of an eye. I don't need any tix for myself anymore but was hoping to cart for others. Can't be done though. It's the way it goes.

    It was quite a big drop. Saw many pages, tried to cart a cat 2 lower block and couldn't cart. Went back. Skipped a couple of pages choose a random cat 3 and got carted :D then I checked and it's a lower level, so happy.

    Only chance versus the bots is when drop happens for 5-10 mins at a stretch, and u keep trying to select, buy, get msg that it is unavailable, and refresh again and again..i got lucky doing this for England Senegal last week..only other thing I have noticed basis the telegram notification is that if at all there is a time over last week that decent drops have happened has been between 1130 am to noon Qatar time, and during the 6 pm game..(tickets drop for the 10pm game)

    I think it's easy to blame bots, but there's literally thousands of people all trying for the same tickets. It's unlike any previous World Cup where you can attend any and every game with just an hrs notice. Previously you'd only be fighting with those already in your city, here you're fighting with every attendee and local here.

    I've actually made it a game to spot others on the portal – since my time here I've probably seen 30+ people ranging from someone working the Bein stall in a shopping mall to a group of 4 Polish guys (each with 2 phones!) in front of me at a the Ghana Portugal game.

    I remember being at the Brazil game and there were 2 local Qatari boys letting me and 2 guys in front know that there was a drop. They had notifications set-up from a Twitter bot.

    I used to think the same but know I have no doubt it’s the bots

    How come then you have people on the WhatsApp groups offering tens of tickets at the same time? Same guy the other day posted 25 for a single game

    Australia TST7 was seating there for at least 5 days on first Fcfs. Argentina was gone if few hours and they ended up being the same. Learnings...

    Thats odd though cause it shouldnt be the same as France advanced as winners of their group. Poland TST7, Mexico TST7 (as hard as ARG) and KSA TST7 should have yielded you the same path as the ARG TST7.

    But without trying to be too smart here...you are absolutely right, other teams TST7s that were cartable for many hours would have been the way to go, especially since you were able to give tickets back to resale also. Easiest path (if you can afford it) to get M64 tickets.

    Conscious everyone's probably sorted already but have a two bedroom apartment available between tomorrow and 11th at Al Mansoura (max 4 people).

    Staying somewhere else now, so happy to transfer it at 50% of the booking price, or even for free if you're looking (since it'll go to waste otherwise) - leave it to anyone interested to decide what theyre comfortable with.

    Separately, has anyone been able to go to a game with multiple people where all tickets are in the name of one person (within the group going)?

    No issues in having many tickets in 1 device. Did it more than once.
