Sep Blatter has said that he is going to ensure the rotation of world cup from continent to continent... so Africa 2010, S.America in 2014 - prob Brazil (expensive flight), N.America 2018 maybe Mexico (fairly expensive flight), Asia 2022 maybe China (expensive flight), Europe 2026 (cheap flights but im 20 years older).
You'ill be 20 years older and 20 years crazier and that'il be pretty crazy I reckon.

I've gone for tickets all the way to the final. Do you think that IF we don't go all the way, that i will still get final tickets? :confused:
If you are successful for a TST-7 you are guaranteed a ticket for the Final even if Ireland get knocked out berforehand. Though they do have to qualify!!

Could take 24 hours apparently. Won't know until next week.
For Euro2004 the rejections went out first - a colleague thought they had tickets for 3 days until they checked their junk mail folder.
I believe the odds in getting tickets are roughly 1 in 16 - probably not even that good for Ireland - assume we'll be 3rd after Germany and England in applications and probably higher than both per capita.

Draw kicked-off this morning at 09:00. Successful applicants will be notified via email on 22nd April (Next Friday)
Read More Here (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/050415/1/3ho0.html)
It says this on that site Dawn_Run put up:
"A total of 812,000 tickets were available in the first sales phase: 665,000 individual tickets and 147,000 Team-Specific Tickets (TSTs)........
The original order figure ran to 12.3 million tickets and was thus reduced to 7 million individual tickets and 1.7 million TSTs."
147,000 TST's mean an avaerage of only 4593 TST's for each of the 32 qualifiers!!!! With the possible exception of Germany do you think we can presume its going to the be the same number of TST's available per qualifier?
Most of the individual tickets I reckon were bid for by Germans hoping to see a game at their local ground.

There are more TST's going on sale in phase 2, along with single tickets. In Phase 3 (which i think gets going in the last quarter of this year) you will be only able to order TST's, no single match tickets will be on sale from this date on. So it looks like they want to push TST's all the way. Should demand for TST's remain up they might allocate more per qualifier. Depends on the stadia aswell like. And with the likes of France and Switzerland not qualifying, that leaes more for us :D :p

I think it is safe to assume that we will be way oversubscribed for TSTs and it is down to the luck of the draw.

Based on past experience there won't be another chance to buy TSTs for Germany, England and most importantly ourselves.
Probably the best chance of anyone wanting to go to the world cup is to buy a TST for the likes of Costa Rica or Ivory Coast which won't sellout.
Further sales now will be based on countries not taking up their allocations and TSTs not selling out.
Despite sharing a border with Germany I doubt if France or Switzerland would travel in huge numbers if they qualify. Switzerland brought 33 to Tel Aviv and according to my mates at the French game last month they didn't even bring half that. Obviously a lot more will travel to Germany but the Dutch, england and ourselves as well a sDenamrk if we all qualify would have far better support.

Illegal ticket plan uncovered
FRANKFURT, April 15 (Reuters) - Prospective 2006 World Cup fans will have a slightly better chance of success in Friday's ticket draw after organisers uncovered attempts to buy millions of tickets using automatic ordering.
The 812,000 tickets on offer in the first two-month sales window were massively oversubscribed, with more than a million people around the world placing orders for 12.3 million tickets.
Illegal orders for several million tickets were detected, however, and those were all weeded out before the draw was started by the click of a mouse at 0800 GMT on Friday.
Organisers said one scam operated from the United States used a computer ordering system to try to buy over two million tickets.
'We were able to detect an obvious attempt at manipulation,' said World Cup organising committee vice-president Horst R. Schmidt.
A total of 900,000 orders for 8.7 million tickets were included in Friday's draw.
Fans will discover on April 22 whether their applications have been successful.
Organisers will put a further 300,000 tickets on the market to fans during subsequent sales windows.

The Olympic Stadium in Munich is closing.It will not be used for the World Cup as Far as I know. The capacity of the new stadium is approximately 5,000 fewer than the existing stadium. Not good.

You will have ticked 'Bank Transfer' as your method of payment.
If you are sucessful they will give you details of how and where to transfer the money.
Nothing farcial about it, I think it was pretty easy to apply and please god I'll be successful!!

He is definitely telling the truth and it is unliekly albeit possible he is mistaken. He was charged for 2 tickets having applied for 8 (2 tickets for 4 different games).
The odds on getting tickets are not good anyway particularly on Irish TSTs which is what I and presumably most on here will want.
It is still possible that we may get tickets and not all cards are charged at the same time

This Friday, exactly one week after the ballot for the first contingent of 2006 FIFA World Cup™ match tickets, applicants who ordered through the internet will receive an e-mail from the Organising Committee congratulating the lucky winners and commiserating with those who missed out. A total of 652,521 individual tickets as well as team specific series tickets and wheelchair users' places were allocated in the ballot.
The eagerly-awaited ballot took place at FIFA World Cup Ticketing Center headquarters on 15 April 2005, some 420 days before the Opening Match in 2006. The huge volume of data to be processed called for some 1,000 individual draw procedures, but the task was still completed within ten hours. 208,455 of around 900,000 applicants were allocated tickets, equivalent to a 1 in 4.3 chance of success in the first sales phase. The internet accounted for 95% of the applications received.
A clear majority of the applicants hailed from Germany, but thirteen team specific quotas available in the first phase were taken up in their entirety, namely Argentina, Brazil, England, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, USA, and the host nation.
Ranked by number of applications, Germany headed the list followed by Great Britain, USA, Japan and Switzerland. Some 6.25 million (72 percent) of the 8.7 million valid applications originated in Germany.
All the tickets made available in the first sales phase for all 64 matches have been allocated, with "highlight" matches such as fixtures involving Germany, the semi-finals and the Final as much as 39 times overbooked.
Applicants who missed out in the first phase should try again when the second phase opens on 2 May 2005, offering exclusively team specific tickets through official website www.FIFAworldcup.com. In a significant departure from the first phase, the point at which applications are received assumes critical importance as 'first come, first served' applies from 2 May.

We've done ourselves proud yet again as an island of 4.5M heads, takin' our full TST allocation along with the likes of Argentina, Brazil and Italy etc. Hope my Inbox will be kind on Friday !!

Just out of curiosity does every country get allocated the same amount of TST tickets or do they take into account the population of each country? I suppose that would hardly make sense as just because you are a well populated country that does not mean that a lot of people from your country will necessarily travel.

I disagree here and there have been attempts to make the draw fair. With the internet this is too much of a risk and leaves Mastercard and the organisers open to bad press.
The same number of TST tickets is available for each nation.
If you just want to go to the world cup then I'd advise logging on early on May 2nd and booking a TST for a country you believe will qualify that hasn't sold out. I need to study the groups but Iran and Ivory Coast look good. There is a very good chance you'll get a big gun too.

Good point re the Iranian support they will have big support in Germany. however according to www.fifaworldcup.com 13 TSTs have sold out namely
Argentina, Brazil, England, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, USA, and the host nation. So anyone that applied for an Iranian TST (and ticked the box to accept other categories) will get them.
The Africans will be easier but Iran games will be great and I'm tempted myself to book them.
