Why is it so difficult to get World Cup tickets, and at a reasonable price? I finally have the opportunity to go to a World Cup match that isn't on the other side of the world, but I haven't got any tickets!!! HELP!!!!!

Depends on which team you want to see, for many of the group games involving 2 of the lesser supported nations you may be able to get tickets.  \n\nYou may even be able to get them on the black market at a reasonable price (possibly face value) if you turn up to the game and hang around outside the ground until the last minute.  Don't worry about the fact that they have said that they will be cross checking passport ID with the name on the tickets, there is no way that this will happen.\n\nIf you want tickets for games involving England then you have no chance!

Them winning the Euro was certainly the biggest upset I have witness in Sports, I still have trouble believing it as the Euro is the toughest tournament ... now how can you win it and not be able to qualify for the world cup? I don't kow,I'm not surprised but it does not make a lot of sense either. http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/q-groups/index.html their group did not include any past winner or runner up of the WC but ......

Yes, I would like to see the world cup, up close and in person. It would be the best feeling of the world. Because setting in front of the TV, will not give you that same feels.

The ticket prices matter to me. I can get a ticket for $10.00 (sure they're nosebleed seats but hey, you have a hell of a view) People will probably buy tickets if you have a winning team...you see it all the time...a losing team won't generate the sales that a winning team would, no matter how much T&A the losing team's cheerleaders have....etc.

Three nations can never play AGAINST each other in a soccer world cup match match!!!\nIn the Serbia & Montenegro vs. Holland match,3  nations were playing but Serbia & Montenegro were playing WITH each other!!!\nGood question,seems to have tricked a lot of people!!!

It's just luck.  To many combinations to even think of having a 'strategy'.  I only play a dollar.  Hey, that's all it takes.  I don't have enough money to spend on trying to increase my chances of winning by buying more tickets.  A dollar and a dream.  Sadly, I think I'll run out of 'dollars' before I see my 'dream' come true!

It seemed to me like it was nothing but hot air once again from FIFA. They messed up the allocation as well. Apparantly a figure of around 10% per game is all the actual supporting fans of their respective teams allocation while the rest of the tickets have all gone to corporate sponsors and German nationals.\nThe idea of having personal information and proof on each ticket was an attempt to cut out the black market trade in the tickets but they are not enforcing the idea at all making the whole thing look like a joke. Well done FIFA!

Go to www.ticketmaster.com...also, in my town, you can buy them at Kroger. They have access to ticketmaster, and can give you the tickets right there.

Yes, World cup.. how will xxx team do, how will xxx continent do, how will hosts do, how will players do.\n\nBARF\n\nI can't believe that the same gets asked (and answered) other than to recall that someone gets a best answer vote and (hopefully) a entry to win a trip to said world cup (and if they have to ask the questions like they are, then they don't deserve to be going, do they?)\n\nThe other ones I'm personally sick of is these knuckleheads who ask how to get in touch with or for the phone number or email address of xxx player... whether it be for someone off a 3rd division English side or Ronaldinho, odds are if you have to ask how to contact the guy, he isn't gonna reply.

The official Fifa site is your best option: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/tickets/leipzig.html\nI hope you're flexible, I don't see June 9th in the list.\n\n"Tickets for the FIFA World Cup will go on sale again on 12 December 2005. Individual tickets can be ordered for all games except the Opening Match. Team-based tickets are also no longer available. The third sales period begins on Monday 12 December 2005 at 12 noon and ends on Sunday 15 January 2006 at midnight."

Well, I don't know where you live, but online is terrible for me when I want good tickets (I live in Chicago).  The best experience I have had is actually going to a store with a tickmaster outlet (in my area, Carson Pririe Scott or Dominick's--a local grocery store).  We got tickets on the floor for one of the hardest concerts to get tickets for (a local radio stations Christmas show--Blink 182 was the headliner)  It can be luck of the draw, but if you are there early enough, some places are first come, first dibs, but then others raffle off the spots in line.  Online at ticketmaster just gets too busy when a hot ticket goes on sale, and the phone is impossible.  Good luck, I hope you can get what you want.

With the amount of questions asked each day, I would say the odds are not that good to win. They are only giving away one trip a week with the grand prize trip at the end of the contest (14 total). Most likely most posters do not even realize they are automatically being entered for a trip they most likely don't even want, or cannot go to because they do not have a passport. The FIFA World Cup is coming right up, and it takes time to get a passport. I think any time a sponsor is giving away a prize, and you are entered without your knowing it by performing an every day function, they should give away a more universal prize...like cash.

Ironically enough, you are on one of them.  \n\nyahoo is giving away 13 trips (I think) to the World Cup.  Entries are based on you getting people to sign up for their IM, or you getting a certain number of 'best answers' on this part of their site.\n\nJust hit the link below and go to their info page... \n\nCourse, you need to be answering questions, not asking them.\n\nAnd, as we roll on here, I bet the number of corporate sweepstakes and promotions should begin to go at a feverish pace... watch the big companies for things like this - Budweiser, Master Card/Visa, big liquor companies, and the like.  I don't see professional companies like Siemens and IBM handing any of their corporate sponsor tickets out, not would those big wigs who work for FA's be giving them away....  you'll just need to keep an eye out.
