cheers, yeah I applied for a fair few tickets via UEFA/FIFA before and never got anywhere (eg Champions League finals of 2002,03 and 04 and UEFA Cup final of 04), so im very happy to finally have something out of one of these ticket draws.
If you havent got one yet, then I wouldnt give up hope coz there may be a few who have tickets but dont sort their funds out in early May so there could be a re-draw.
Fair play to you cfdh_edmundo..You don't want to sell them do you???.Did you say that you did'nt have a Mastercard? How did you manage to apply?
Got 2 rejection emails but not worried. Had no tickets for Japan either!!
KOH
Missed out aswell on TST tickets, the only comfort is that there is a long way to go yet!!
No I think I'll keep them thanksFair play to you cfdh_edmundo..You don't want to sell them do you???. I applied for them using the Bank Transfer option, FIFA will send me an email in May now, which tell me the proceedure, I then go to my Bank and tell them to wire the money to FIFA... I assume FIFA wire back the money (less a service charge) if we dont qualify.
I've a feeling that only applying for one ticket (ie as opposed to a pair) for the TST matches, might have helped, as in all other FIFA/UEFA ticket sales processes I'd applied for 2 tickets and got rejected.
So where to now? What are our options?
- Apply for single match tickets in Phase 2?
- Apply for a TST for a different country?
- Is there much chance of picking up a ticket through unofficial channels or has this been ruled out with the whole passport id thing?
- Will block bookers have a chance of a ticket from FAIreland?
Resign, now!
Still waiting for the email. Less and less likely. Worst part is all my mates got them. I should feel happy but now I have to watch the games in the pub alone. alone and sad.....
hehe
You could be in worse places!!! Myself and my mates are on about travelling out to Germany whether we get tickets or not, the craic should be 90 when we qualify!!
"BTW I have had a lot of Iranian friends say they got rejected….
I will find out when I get home"
gspain, my mate sent me this, are you sure that the iranian one didnt sell out????
ya we are planning on doing that as well.You could be in worse places!!! Myself and my mates are on about travelling out to Germany whether we get tickets or not, the craic should be 90 when we qualify!!
I'd apply for single matches if I were you, pick big stadiums (as in Euro 2004 they switched high profile fixutres to big stadiums), you might get lucky and one of them could be an Ireland game, if not well having tickets for any game is useful. I'd pick 2-3 locations that are near each other (eg Nürnberg, Munich and Stuttgart, or Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund) as both of those will give you 2 big stadiums and distance-wise they'll all be close. eg Munich - Nürnberg is about 1h30 on the train and all are within 100miles of each other. Cologne/Gelsenkirchen/Dortmund are all really close its all one big industrial city. Dortmund to Gelsenkirchen = 20 miles, Gelsenkirchen to Cologne = 40 miles, the whole thing can be done on suburban rail (S-Bahn) and shouldnt take more than 30 mins.
The FAI will still get a sizable number of tickets so block bookers will have a chance.
Unofficial is a risk, they've said ID checks at games before and they've not checked people, but they might introduce it this time.
Edit: also if you end up trying unofficial watch out. Some Chelsea fans brought tickets for their Bayern game from a tout, he then gave them 7 forged 50 Euro notes as part of the change, they used one to buy a hotdog, the hotdog vendor called the police and the Chelsea fans are (or where when I read the article on Tuesday) still being held on conspiracy to commit fraud.

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.
So everybody on their computers at 12.01 on 2nd May then...... "gentlemen, start your keyboards".
I must get working on my typing skills, few dry runs, that kind of thing
According to the website though the Ireland TST's sold out??

Beforehand type all your details (name/passport number/Dob etc) into notepad and then use CTRL+C (copy), ALT+TAB (switches from notepad to the website), CTRL+V (pastes in the text)... you can fill forms in much quicker that way.
Yep, we're doing that also, when we know where we are gonna be based we should arrange a meet-up place for the games for those that are travelling without tickets. Kind of a foot.ie goes to stuttgart.
Now i'm confused again, gspain, didnt you say that all irish tst's were gone?? This above statement seems to suggest that TST's are on offer again this time round. I know that phase 3 is single tickets only, will there be single tickets on offer in Phase 2? given that - (second phase opens on 2 May 2005, offering exclusively team specific tickets)
Resign, now!
According to the website they didn't sellout however they could have sold out in Category 3 and they may have only applied for one category and not accepted higher priced tickets if they missed out.
so have we a chance for more tst or not??
