I'm off to Salvador, Brazil...
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.

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?

Re: I'm off to Salvador, Brazil...
I was just gonna start a thread on this. My application to see the QFs, semis and final was unsuccessful. I feel gutted right now
For the sales window opening up on Monday, matches to the final and semis wont be available. I might make an application for a QF match again but thats it. Otherwise I'll just wait until the groups are announced and try my luck then. I dont think I'll be able to get tickets for the semis or final so I'll just go for tickets involving big teams in Rio and Sao Paolo. FIFA is useless

Yes, keep trying. Tickets for the semis and final were always going to be hard to snag. There'll be another sales phase next year so expect more tickets to become available. I'd like to see Nigeria but I'm really not all that fussed. I'm happy to see just about any team.Heliopolis wrote:I was just gonna start a thread on this.

I'd be going for sure. Unfortunately, no tickets yet, so I plan to carry transistor radio just incase.

i am willing to bet that you will get plenty of tickets infront of the stadium which wont't be that expensive (obviously not for semis,.final or brazil games)

But there is a chance of them inflating those tickets as well.

Re: I'm off to Salvador, Brazil...
Most definitely. They will inflate it but I doubt if it's going to be much higher than the international price - the profit margin is high enough though it's extremely difficult for even the locals to get multiple tickets from what I heard from those on ground.metalalloy wrote:But there is a chance of them inflating those tickets as well.

It just seemed the best option, I didn't want to go to Rio and Sao Paulo due to expense and the number of people I expect to be there. I did extensive research and Salvador seemed like it'd be the most fun and it's also a location where I can catch a group game and a knock out game.
