i think it's counter-productive to book a flight when you do not know which city your team will play in.

or am i totally off base?

Well it depends on how expensive local flights are.

Congrats to the OP, and enjoy Salvador Bahia, particularly if you're single. It's a black city with a lot of history and beautiful people.

Regardless... You will need to fly into one of the major cities (Rio, São Paulo etc) and then connect to the city where your team is based. Better to buy your first flight into Brazil now. Already applied for Nigeria group stage tickets too.

Are you saying I should not wait for the draw and schedule? Someone told me not to worry about flights into Brazil, because there will always be flights to neighbouring countries. From which i can take other means of transport to the city where Naija will be playing. Don't know if I should take this seriously.

Security midget, I go report you o! You know say na ten bucks an hour dem dey pay you, where you get money from? Does CBC know you are supplementing your income by selling fake Super Eagle shirt from under your desk?

Wow .. no tickets available on FIFA.com. How are you guys working around this?

We bought tickets early. Was encouraged to do this by a Manure (spit!) fan in my office. They have to be good for something.

Will the price be the same? Or we dey look 200% hike.

Someone mentioned a virtual first come first serve line, but how do u get on it?

The fifa.com website appears not to let you pay if no ticket available. So is it possible to get on the line still?

I am sure there are tickets on fifa site.

Remember that the ticket buying page refreshes every 5 mins or so.

Did not get Ghana tickets on 1st try, then the page refreshed and it worked
(but you have 12 mins during which to fill in your personal information - passport etc - before you get kicked out)

[Heliopolis]

Can you guys (ohsee and tfco) keep me posted when you come across airline deals to Brazil. I am willing to spare no expense to go but I'm also on the lookout for flight deals. As it stands now the average round trip flight to Brazil from Toronto is almost $2000. I have a friend that booked her flight for $1200 but this was months ago.

[Cmoke]

Thanks.

Today I received confirmation from FIFA on tickets for a second round game in Salvador. I didn't get the group game in Salvador but will try again in the next sales phase.

Flights - sorted.
Accommodation - sorted.

I've been to three World Cups (France, Japan, and Germany) and this'll be the last in a long while - I ain't going to Russia nor Qatar - so I'm going to enjoy myself in Brazil whatever happens

Hurray for me.

Who else is going?

What is wrong with Qatar?
Anyway, what do accommodation prices look like?

Prices are reasonable - I'm staying at three different places - paying at most £40. But I found good deals and you really have to look around. Expedia, Home&Away, etc.

Qatar - nah.

Thanks. There is still time. What I am trying to do is organize group travel because I don't want to be wandering around all alone for 3 weeks when I don't speak Portuguese.

As for tickets for Nigerian matches, I think they will become available after the draw (unless we are drawn against Brazil). The question is whether they will be available online or via trustworthy agencies.

I think Qatar and even Russia will be fine. If you knew nothing about Africa and listened to all that negativity before the 2010 World Cup, you would not have gone to South Africa even if you could... What I have found out is that countries are always on their best behaviors during these events.

Wow, three weeks? That's a grand effort - it'll be very expensive if you're there for that long. Not too late to pick up some Portuguese phrases, you might even get by on some Spanish.
