    Its just a general seating guideline and wont reflect the end reality. They wont assign seats for another 6 months so the Seattle map is just a general guideline. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

    If/when you win the lottery, how many tickets can you buy with your window that they give you? I know you can buy up to four tickets per game

    Does anyone know?

    After you buy tickets for any amount (even under 40 tickets), can you go back in and make another purchase or one total purchase?

    You can purchase up to 40 tickets during your allotted time slot. For example when your window opens up you can buy 8 tickets total for 2 games (4 tickets per game) and then that evening purchase more tickets. The risk in this scenario is that there won't be tickets for the games you want the longer you wait.

    There's only 1 problem with the 40 ticket cap. You have to get a freaking time slot in the first place.....LOL

    I'm also in the England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) since they are one of my backup teams due to my heritage (also Norway, Ukraine, and Scotland...just need Ukraine to make it for a 4 for 4!).

    They have been given way more info than us US Soccer Insiders on details about getting supporters tickets to the 26 World Cup. Here's a graphic showing one member's best estimate at the process laid out on a calendar. Most of this is still up in the air, but at least it might help us guess how US Tickets might be handled.

    Thanks good stuff and is in line with the tiny pieces we've heard (and similar to Qatar process as well). I expect/hope communications from the Fed will happen soon, definitely been a tad quiet.

    Love it. But knowing FIFA they'd be 50 single tickets spread out across the stadium.

    I believe we have a decent group who will be there. Mostly NY based folks. I believe that some of the supporters will be on stage toward end of the program leading a chant so that should be pretty cringe-worthy

    I guess we have to get details on the USSF lottery this week, presumably tomorrow or Tuesday? The only group game I'm missing right now is M4 because that price is just insane. Unfortunately the guy in the main ticketing thread who's been leaking prices said there were no changes for any group games. I'd be surprised if the fed is able to sell out their allocation at that price.

    Doesn't sound like many other Feds have any specifics either but they seem to be at least communicating something. My guess is Fifa hasn't given the feds all the details.

    Issues that I want answers on:

    - will Fed allocation be for all Cats like in the past. X amount in Cat1, x in Cat2. Etc.

    - where will the traditional "supporters" be.. behind the goal but what Cat is that.

    - Fed saying top tier will have access to Cat 2. What if we want Cat 3..

    - what if we already have tix in our account (from resale/rtb/presale) for some of the US games. Will that limit our Fed lottery amount we can get.

    Seriously.. if I have 4 random tix already for M4 and I "win" the Fed lottery will I be able to buy my Fed allocation? My guess is no.

    FIFA has given direction, we just haven't heard it yet. Know for certain for instance that Australia is opening their window for applications on Thursday/Friday. Have friends who have opened up accounts in 6-7 countries federations to apply to get tickets that way.

    I guess I should not count on getting any tickets through the fed though, right? I am sure my insider level is too pathetic. Still, I would like to see an email or something.

    Nobody on here knows for certain what the actual set up is going to be for US Soccer ticket allocations yet until they announce it. I've heard many discussions from people I trust about what's going to happen but not comfortable sharing it because it's just speculation.

    From US Soccer emails, seems like there will be a mixture of things in consideration: What spend level you are on, and longevity of being an Insider. What that combination will be is anyone's guess though right now.

    Yup even the highest levels haven't gotten anything in writing, just verbal agreements on what to expect

    Eagleman posted this from Ned fed. This should confirm/give hope that they'll definitely have supporters section behind the goal.

    Never doubted it as they've always done it this way but damn the silence creates unknown.
