Got WC '06 USA Tickets!!!

There were allocations available for the first phase, just like there are allocations available in the later phases.

 

That's strange, it's hard to reconcile this:

with this:

seeing as how the US sold out their TST allocation in Phase 1. I guess it'll take a little less than a week to determine whether there are indeed leftovers, and how many there are.

Thanks very much for the info.

 

I got tickets too and I'm buggin out as to where I will be staying etc. 1st round of the USA in Germany 2006 baby!

 

I am in the same place as you are. As I was reading it - I was like oh crap, no USA TSTs but then they said USA TSTs should be available. I guess we will find out very shortly.

 

I will trade you dilemmas. You worry about getting tickets and I will worry about where to stay!

 

Again, thanks for the info. The bottom line is we try again on round 2.

 

And so what do we do if we dont get tickets on round 2???

 

round 3?

 

I think I'll purchase them (albeit 10x higher) from a separate website. It will help me sleep better at night.

 

Seriously, don't panic yet. There are several more rounds to go! Give it a shot.

 

Question?
I was not picked in the first round.
Second round is a free for all on line...What time (PST) will they go on sale on Tue. May 2?

 

Yeah I was thinking about it after I posted. It's not like I could book lodging until December anyways. Unless I did the Berlin-centric planning that Mikeymike is doing.

 

i think 2nd round is if you are trying to get TST (team specific tickets) round 3 is a random draw again...

 

Add me to the list of those who received a rejection letter in the first round.

 

My understanding is that it will be midnight German time. Right now Germany is 6 hours ahead of East Coast time, or 9 hours ahead of PST. However, you should be checking this page from the FIFA World Cup Site:

As of today, there isn't anything posted there.

 

I just got back from vacation and checked my email and I got my 3 TST-6 USA tickets. Fantastic, now the 5 years of planning will not be for naught. We'll be using friends in Munich as our base of operations.

Any idea of the best way to get a few group stage tickets that won't interfere with the USA games? Will I need to wait for the draw and then hope?

 

Worst case, when you get to Germany, find matches with Asian and/or African teams and go get them day of, there should be a few in the south. I've done this in the past.

 

Anyone else getting the feeling that there is something wrong with ticket sales? I mean the second phase starts in less than five days and the message on the website still says check back in late April. I don't have much hope for Phase 2 right now

 

has anyone who paid for the tickets via mastercard, seen the charge on their bill yet? i will feel alot more comfortable once i see it on my bill, and then pay that bill...

jeez... cant believe im HOPING for a credit card bill

 

Got my TST-7's Cat-1.
Bank transfer confirmed by my bank. I expect to see the result from the WC site tomorrow. Best part is I ain't paying interest on some mastercard I don't need. Well, that and I am going to the freaking world cup......YAAAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

congrats.... but use the Mastercard, wait 30 days to pay it off.. and that way you use THEIR money for 30 days, rather than it transferring out of your account today...

but to each his own... i got my MC specifically for WC06... i will use it in germany etc...

 

anyone coordinated plane tix yet.... i think we are going via british airways... 1200 for detroit/London then london/frankfort and return

 

$890 Washington - Frankfort

 

Free!!!!!!

oh wait, I work for an airline!

 

which airline? a solvent one i hope..

on a serious note... is my $1250 out of line, considering we are flying out of detroit, and changing planes at heathrow?
