WC - Who is going?

[aka Dus]

Will take in Sweden's two non-Ingerlund group games. Based in Berlin from 9-17 June. Will try get to USA!USA!USA! v Czechies in Arena auf Schalke or Brazil-Croatia same day, maybe spin down to Frankfurt to see friends and Togo - South Korea etc etc

 

By planning early we can get good deals and have enough money to get to Paris for a few days in May.

 

Anyone else thinking of travelling? Rushian?

[Rushian]

There were plans to travel with the usual crowd but we got totally knocked back for tickets in the draw (we applied for 7 games). In fact almost everyone on RAWK who applied got knocked back or just managed a pair of tickets to one game. So at the moment, no ...

[John am Rhein]

I'll be there sure as Eier kleine Eier sind!

 

Be steering well clear of Frankfurt on June 10th though - unless they allow me to be a volunteer Polizei for the day, of course

 

Italy - Evil Empire in Kaiserslautern on June 17th looks promising though. Chance to support Italy (as will be mandatory) and hurl abuse at the Great Satan rolled into one.

yep spotted that after posting - wouldn't be going anywhere near the England games in any case, tend to be far more "cosmopolitan" in game choice.

Reassuring to know. wouldn't the other RAWK lads fancy seeing England?

 

Anyway, it's a lottery open from tomorrw Monday to Jan 15th or something. Makes no difference how early you apply once you do before the closure of the application period. They'll draw who gets the tickets Jan 31st.

Aye, i'm going. Me and a mate are going to be sorted for England games through knowing the right person luckily. Just looking at some hotels etc now.

Me too. Good luck. I have a feeling based on my previous (and a lot of other English fans) application we'll be getting precisely 0 tickets. And I'm trying to keep away from Ingerlund, would rather see anyone else TBH.

[RP]

Haven't applied for any England games - unless they get to the Semi and/or Final.

 

Gone for the Final, both Semis, Aus v Brazil, Holland v Argentina, Last 16 game that should be Brazil and the Quarter that should be Brazil.

Brazil fan eh?!

 

I applied in the last window, would have got Czech v Italy, the France quarter (assuming they get through etc etc), Sitzerland - Korea, and Czechs v Poland. Bit gutted, would have been fine with those choices.

[smicer07]

I'd go, but I wouldn't go to watch England.

Just like football - and I reckon Brazil are pretty good at it.

Meh, they're OK, I guess

[fyds]

Might go to two/three qualifiers and two later rounds if lucky - dependent on various things - mostly other people and timing.

[Guest TanMan]

I'm banking on winning a radio or tv compo to get tickets :yes:

[aka Dus]

Quick question - If I apply in my own name and include 3 mates, does that preclude them from applying themselves or does it preclude them and me from being listed on someone else's application?

 

By including Passport Numbers FIFA make it easy for themselves to check double applicants.

 

I think this states that joint applicants can't apply again. Can some other less tired brain shed any light?

 

Cheers

5. What is the maximum number of tickets per person household? Are tickets transferable?

Individual tickets are on offer in four price categories. Per household, you may apply for a maximum of four individual tickets for up to seven matches in categories 1-3. In category 4, the cheapest category, the maximum is two individual tickets for up to three matches per household. In the TST category, you may apply for up to four TST series per household. A "household" is defined as one surname at one delivery address.

 

Each household may only apply for one price category per match. This price category also applies to all joint applicants named on the application form. You may not apply for tickets to more than one game scheduled for the same day. Only one application per household is permitted per order period. A "joint applicant" is defined as a person listed by the applicant by name on the application form.

 

No-one is permitted to re-sell or re-allocate any ticket allocated to him/her, without the approval of the Organisation Committee of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany . The right purchased with the ticket to attend a particular match is invested in the person of the applicant or joint applicant and is non-variable and non-transferable, but with the approval of the Organisation Committee of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany . Any attempt to re-sell tickets without the approval of the Organisation Committee of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany will be deemed ticket touting / black market trading and will result in cancellation of the ticket.

 

Any kind of ticket lottery organized by organisations that are no Official Partner or Supplier of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany? is excluded.

Sat 10 June (1400): England v Paraguay (Gp B)

Tue 13 June (1400): South Korea v Togo (Gp G)

Sat 17 June (1400): Portugal v Iran (Gp D)

Wed 21 June (2000): Holland v Argentina (Gp C)

Sat 1 July (2000): Quarter-final

 

Apart from the first one, it's looking good.

 

Bear in mind that Cologne, Kaiserslautern and, at a push, Nurnberg are all within reasonable travelling distance.

Honestly Paul, I studied this for a couple hours on Saturday and it still doesn't make proper sense.

 

To cut a long story short, I've decided to apply for Cat 3 tickets as I can get more of them and it's just f cking easier.

 

But regarding Cat 4, this is what I THINK are the basic most important rules...

 

Your application is sorted by 'household'. A "household" is defined as one surname at one delivery address. So aka Dus from 23 Anfield Road can apply while aka Dusette from 23 Anfield Road can also apply.

 

The key passage on FIFA.com is ""For price category 4 single match tickets may be ordered for a maximum of up to 3 games per person and one additional "guest". This means 2 tickets per game for up to 3 games...... The applicable criterion is the sum of applications in which persons appear as applicants and applications where persons appear as visitors on other applicants' applications."

 

I THINK what it means is that if your name appears on an application for Category 4 tickets to more than THREE games, they can kick you out of the draw. So, make sure that if you apply in your own name for Category 4 tickets, you apply for no more than 3 games in the first phase. And make sure your name isn't on anyone else's applications.

 

So for example, I can apply for 2 Category 4 tickets for each of Swe-T&T, Swe-Par and Swe-Eng and name aka Dusette on my application. But that means neither her name nor mine can appear on any other application for a Category 4 ticket for a game in the first phase.

 

Obviously, only one application per household is permitted for this phase of sales, so no multiple entries.
