Phase IV Ticket Sightings Thread - Part 2

Thanks, Smithfan and others. Then I'm refreshing the correct page. I just wasn't sure.

Pero, no they only let you buy singles OR TST's. Perhaps during last week you could have quickly dumped the singles in another window, have them picked up by someone else immediately, and then you would be cleared. Otherwise you'll get the error message.

I've gotten my brother's info to help with this problem.

 

I have a fast connection

 

Have we finished for the day do you reckon?

Tunisia v. Saudi Arabia was up on the French site.

Has anyone gotten Update Checker to work properly? Mine just goes off all the time, and when I ask it to show me on the page what's changed, there appears to be nothing. Can't believe I was asleep at the switch yesterday when my coveted M49 came up- thought the thread alerts were just more gloating from the resale phase, and I'm sure I'm not the only one worried about keeping their job after the resale phase. Let me know if anyone wants any France or US tix for an M49 or M52 tik.

What's "Update Checker". Is this a reason why I've never been able to get through to any tickets?

 

are you using "Filter 0.3" in the "Checker to use:" dropdown? that helps. i still seem to get a lot of false alarms though.

 

It is a plug-in that alerts the user when something has changed on the site. Can be useful but not necessary. I have gotten a slew of tickets without it.

 

I guess that's it for today!

 

Very impressive. Too bad we can't get RCN here in Florida.

 

whoah!

ok, my connection is not THAT fast...

 

Yes, you'll get in if you continue to refresh and the nubmer of tickets you requested become available...I know this because I forgot that I was on a secure/"red error" message page that I kept refreshing, and then all of the sudden I was entering applicant/guest information, but I had forgotten which tickets I had ordered. So yeah, that is one way to do it, even if it is serendipitous.

 

So wait, lets say i'm refreshing red error message, and then a package becomes available,no matter how many tickets I selected it will take me to login page and I'll have to buy whatever is offered,right?

 

No. I'm pretty sure it'll only offer you the same tickets that you applied for to give you the error page. Anything else will just show up in yellow as normal and you'll have to select it.

If you original choice does come up, it'll just throw you straight into the buying page.

 

step 1:

ticket becomes available. You choose one game and continue...

step 2:

a screen appears where you choose the number of tickets you want to have - let's say 2.

step 3:

robot...

step 4:

either waiting room or directly red error page. Start refreshing the red error page until a login screen appears

step 5:

The login screen leads you to a screen where you can enter all your details - it's the game that you have chosen before! That means - let's say you had chosen Iran-Angola (step 1) and two tickets (step 2) - that you will get exactly these 2 tickets for Iran-Angola.

 

Step 6
List unwanted Iran v Angola tickets on swap thread, ask for any England game or Holl v Arg in exchange. Sit by computer waiting for PM.

Step 7
Silence

 

How very true!

 

wow...what absolute BS (and I dont mean Big Soccer). Look at CAT II. It's BEHIND the goals. Not pleased they charged me more than $200 more for what is basically CAT III and IV seating.

 

You're absolutely right! Those maps are NOTHING like the FIFA ticketing maps, whatsoever! My cat 2's to USA v Italy are where I thought cat 4's were....many of the Cat 1 tickets (in the corners in the Kaisersalutern pdf) are what FIFA had listed as Cat 3....unbelievable (or by FIFA standards....par for the course)

 

Who wants to start the class action ?

 

why dont y'all wait until you see the section # before going crazy... have patience...

 

agreed. I don't believe that this is the real plan. It would be absurd.

 

If it's not real, someone went to a lot of trouble to lay it out. Also, the concept of making 60% of the stadium seats cat 1 sounds right up FIFA's "maximize the revenue stream'" alley. It would also explain wht so many of the tix popping up in phase 4 have been cat 1, there's just SO many of them in the stadium...

 

However, it would net Fifa a lot more cabbage since there would be (from the looks of things) many more CAT I's than any other single CAT. Interesting to note the "subject to change" tag on the map. At the same time, even though anyone with tickets is extremely fortunate to get anything, would you be disappointed if you were low and behind the goal when expecting to be somewhat alongside the pitch?

Did anyone get tickets to Italy v USA in the resale phase? My understanding is that they listed the seat location. We could compare their CAT/location with these maps and see if it matches up?
