    Just arrived, TST7 USA Tier 2, pair.
    Only one voucher, which is good on through the tourney.
    Makes transfering PART of my TST7 impossible.

    just got mine as well. it's great to go home for lunch and have the DHL truck meet you there.

    looks like we're neighbors in the CAT III stands (all these blocks look to be in the upper deck).
    i've got a pair of seats located in:
    for G'ken: Yellow: Block 69 Row 13
    for K-Town: Blue: Block 19.4 Row 69
    for berg: Green: Block 24 Row 27

    ordered through Fifa on 8/24/05

    HELL YES!

    Czech: Block 69, row 9, seat 25
    Italy: Block 19.4, row 70, seat 37
    Ghana: Block 24, row 26, seat 36

    (Remains to be seen if the Luchador got put in adjacent seats--our ticket orders went through separately, but were to the same household. He left for work about twenty minutes before the DHL guy came by, and I don't want to open his box for him)

    Are these the tickets from the FIFA lottery or the ones from US Soccer?

    Evidently, mine have been delivered. I'm not at home to verify. DHL website shows delivery to Landover, MD (even though my address is a house in Bowie) and signed for by "CHASE". That ain't me. Perhaps Chase is a neigbor? Does DHL usually drop stuff next door?

    I called their offices, and they're getting in touch with the driver to sort it out.

    FIFA lottery, 2nd sales stage I believe.

    Got mine just about 25 minutes ago, although they were delivered next door by mistake.

    I have:

    Czech: Block 69, row 11
    Italy: Block 19.4, row 70
    Ghana: Block 24, row 27

    Very, very happy! :)

    I got tickets in the phase 1 allocation way back last April...still no email and no tickets. They said they will have them out by May 5th so obviously there are a lot more that have to go out.

    I'm just guessing that they sent out the nosebleeds first and are working their way down to my prime category III tix about 15-20 rows from the pitch (yeah right!):rolleyes:

    The wife just called, DHL showed up and made the delivery.

    We got ours in the first Fifa phase lottery and got three TST-6 USA tickets Cat 3.

    We sent a letter about 3 weeks ago with a change in my sister's passport number due to her renewal. But all appears well with the change.

    I was telecommuting today to go to a brief morning doctor's appointment, and DHL showed up an hour after I returned home, a convergence I was hoping for when my FIFA e-mail arrived on Thursday. I was asked my name, but no ID requested. The DHL guy had no idea it was World Cup tickets, but was happy for me and wished me and our team well when I told him what the package was for :)

    I purchased Cat. 1 TST-3's last August through FIFA, on that one day when there were turned-back/not-paid-for initial lottery tickets. I initially tried for Cat. 3's TST-4's and failed last April, and when I went to the web page in August the Cat. 1's were the best of the few options available for me, so I took it.

    USA-CZE Block 57 Row 9 Seat 10
    USA-ITA Block 22.1 Row 16 Seat 14
    USA-GHA Block 20 Row 12 Seat 26

    From a strictly view of the game opinion, I'm decently satisfied with the CZE & GHA tix, although they are somewhat high and not too close to center. The ITA tix are low in the corner and could be quite poor, certainly worse than the less expensive seats right behind the goal. Fritz-Walder-Stadion has very few seats on the two sidelines, with one sideline seemingly devoted to club boxes, so it's not that surprising even the Cat 1's are behind or near the goal line.

    But that's all nit-picking, my tix are in hand :)

    Me three.

    I think we can take comfort in each other's ticketless state as that means there is still hope.

    I did send FIFA a "are-my-tickets coming-yet, I think-you can-understand-my-apprehension-this-email-was-written-mostly-for-my-own-peace-of-mind-so-you-can-reassure-me" email

    I ordered mine from ussoccer, still not here... but I don't think they're going to be sent out 'til the end of the week. So i'm not going to worry until sometime next week, at least not publicly... at least not after this... starting now.

    This thread should have been called "My FIFA Lottery tickets came today". Every time I see there is a new message I wonder if someone has got their USSF tickets yet. But I got my train tickets today for our side trip to Normandy so that will occupy my mind for a little while:)
