ticket transfer success rate thread

Yes, you can. Or at least it gives you the option to transfer each individual ticket.

 

anyone know whether you can transfer single tickets in a TST and keep the rest?

and anyone had any problems with the transfer process so far, FIFA asking for documentation or declining to transfer?

thanks.

 

I tried this, and you can't. At least, not automatically..it's possible you can email them through the self service center and ask them, but thats not a risk I'm willing to take.

You are correct. I have a family member who cannot go and has a USA TST 3 but is not able to transfer it to me because I have single tickets to 2 games. The games I have are on different dates than the USA games but the system is obviously programmed to not allow this even though the total number of tickets I would have in my name is only 5 .

What sucks is she cannot go for a very legitimate reason which is she broke her back last autumn and must have a second operation in late May. As a result she is unable to travel to Germany in June (not to mention attend WC games with manical soccer fans from all corners of the globe).

She is going to send FIFA an email to see if there is some way they can make an exception. It is risky but there is no other alternative. I hope that whoever is making the decision in the ticket office actually reads the email and can comprehend the situation. If they reply with a "canned" answer stating that single ticket holders cannot have a TST transferred to them it will be very disapointing.

I wonder if I release the tickets that I have purchased will I then be allowed to have the tickets transferred to me?

 

I have a question. Under the transfer screen, you put in a credit card to pay for the exchange. It says it needs to be the same as the applicant. Is that the original owner? Also then how does the new ticket holder pay for the tickets? Do they have to send you the money?

 

Has anyone successfully transferred tickets to a family member with a different last name? If so, did you have to provide documentation?

 

So, I did it with 2 tickets:

The first ticket should be transfered from the name of my father to me - and it worked.

the 2nd ticket should be transfered from my sister to her boyfriend - and it DID NOT work. Although it says "transfered" in the Customer self service, FIFA sent a mail to my sister, saying that her reason was not a case of hardship. They wrote that they will transfer the 10 € back in the next week. damn

 

my transfer failed also

so i dont know if we should attempt it again by saying one of the guests is sick.
its a tough call.

 

I would have thought that that is one of the hardest things to prove/disprove - what are you meant to do, send your family tree? Therefore it might be the best tactic.

 

Have you received email telling you that this transfer has been accepted?
thx

 

So for those transfers that failed - they didn't even give you a chance to submit supporting documentation? How did you find out that it failed - did they email you?

 

no. However all of my friends and my family members got emails if FIFA said "no" so they definitely checked it and mine apparently worked.

 

I applied for the transfer of 4 tickets on Sunday.
Not heard anything back at all yet - either by email or through Customer Services (Still says 'entered for transfer') despite the website saying that this would be processed within 24hrs.
Not sure if no news is good or bad?

 

I have transferred one ticket a week ago and havent heard from Fifa yet, so hopefully everything will be fine.

 

What does the status say in customer services?

 

TST-5 XXX paid
Original guest New guest
XXXX XXXX
Transfer status
transferred
Transfer fee: 10,00 EUR

So Im hoping that it will go through

 

Seems promising!

How quickly did your status change to 'transfered'? And what 'reason' did you select?

My problem is that I seem to be stuck on 'entered for transfer' - nearly 3 days after applying. Don't want to enquire with FIFA as don't want to draw unneccessary attention to my application but just would like to see some progress!

 

Mine had status Transferred 24 hours later or so. For a reason I wrote a short paragraph.( medical reason)

 

I have the same problem - transferring from my mum to me - same name different address , and from my partner's sister - all different names but same address as me . I can't see how they can prove that they are or aren't sisters . Nearly 4 days stuck on 'entered for transfer' with to e-mail acknowledgement at all

 

Are they by any chance resale tickets? I have the same problem transferring one resale ticket.

The standard answer FIFA gives upon rejection of a transfer states that one can resort to the resale section on the website to get rid of the ticket. This obviously doens't apply to tickets that were acquired through resale.

I suspect they will handle those cases later. Maybe they will be more lenient towards transfers of resale tickets because a resale option is not available anymore.

With a good reason not to go, it would be quite harsh not having either an option to transfer or resell.

BTW. What i understand from the forum on tooor.de there's a court case April 20th about the whole issue.
