    But it's not supposed to open in any browser! It's a stand-alone application. It does rely on your internet explorer settings but it does all the browsing on its own. It won't open any external browser. There is a tab in the application that says 'browser' where it will take you to fifa ticketing page automatically when tickets become available for any match that you are scanning.

    Re: v3.3 - Match 64 scanning!

    haha! Thanks Miguel. In case you guys are wondering why Miguel decided to say that, it's because he was in the testing team and had the full version of the application which helped him get those final tickets yesterday. I think 3 out of 5 of us were close to our computers. Our total tally was 8 tickets. I wonder how many fifa actually released yesterday.

    If FIFA keeps releasing such a low number of tickets, I think someone who is not using the scanner will have a zero chance of getting those final tickets now cuz quite a few number of people will be buying through the scanner. As TheBigKuba said yesterday, by the time he saw the yellow box on fifa site, the tickets were gone. He got lucky by persisting with F5 and I think he was able to buy a seat. I think that was most probably one of the seats that I had to let go when fifa showed me that "You have exceeded the number of attempts" message.

    Good luck guys. I really hope the scanner helps you in getting those tickets.

    Current dowload count of v3.3: 41 people

    I will keep posting daily count here just so you guys know the odds you are against.

    I must say that the cat3 final tickets we got yesterday were really cat4 seats..
    So i doubt fifa will release cat4 final tickets..(they know they can sell the same seats at a higher cost)

    Thanks Again to Scorpyn!! i would never have these tickets if it were not for his scanner..

    Also i reckon that the people from this forum were the only to get tickets..
    We pretty much had them all before it went yellow. And i think someone here got 1 without the program but because of the scanner he knew it was coming..

    I rate there is no way a random guy, with no idea, managed to get. Hence our ticket count of 8?? was all that fifa released..

    What is the message you are getting? Can you copy/paste the messages from the bottom of the scanner application on this forum?

    I think there were a few more cuz I was running four scanners at work as well and when I came back today, all four of them had managed to reserve 1 seat each. So I am thinking maybe around 15 tickets. Still very few compared to the demand! I wonder how the scanner is going to do now that around 40 people are scanning for multiple tickets.

    I think the FifaUsername must be an email address. It's what you use to login to the Fifa website...

    Re: v3.3 - Match 64 scanning!

    Download and install .net 3.5 service pack 1. Then restart your pc and run the scanner again.

    .net 3.5 service pack 1:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en

    Lemme know if this fixes the issue.

    Re: v3.3 - Match 64 scanning!

    Did you install it from this link or some other link? This is a service pack that goes on top of the original .net 3.5 framework installation. I suggest you uninstall it now and reinstall it. Same link:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en

    Make sure you restart your pc after this.

    This issue was faced by others as well and it got fixed once they installed this service pack.

    Re: v3.3 - Match 64 scanning!


    This is correct.

    Sorry for the confusion Scorp. Last night I realised the problem was that my username was my email address (not my username :eek:)

    It's working fine now. Scorp is a genius.

    If I get final tickets I will drool on your feet :eek:

    The golden rule if you get unintelligible errors is to install .net 3.5 service pack 1, see Scorpyn's link a few posts ago.

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en

    If you installed it before, try uninstalling it and reinstalling from this link. Then restart ur pc and run the scanner. It should work.
