Out of pig iorn i just logged onto site and ordered a ticket and then gave Ireland as a delivery address and it still let me and asked for crdit card details. Don't know if after accepting your money under EU law would they be allowed cancel the tickets, I doubt it.

Can you think of why they wouldn't be here yet if I got a delivery dispatch so long ago? Would the DHL office number in Dublin be any use for deliveries on the continent?

You could ring either German or Irish branch of DHL with tracking number. I would imagine the Irish would be easier to deal with.

Wir haben heute Ihre Bestellung Nr. XXXXXXX per Versandart : World versandt.

Is that the tracking number? Joxer, is your number the company or DHL?

I popped the number into their site and it didn't do anything. I think the number I have is only my order with that company and not DHL.

I rang them. Missed their opening hours.

I managed to check the status of my order on the site, it is listed as dispatched. Either there's a problem with DHL or I am just impatient.

Did you get the second e-mail titled "eventim.de - Versandbenachrichtigung - Ihre Bestellung Nr. xxxxx"? That's the dispatch one.

where abouts on the site did you do that? tried to find it but me german ain't good!

**Poor Student** · 21/06/2006, 4:09 PM

Ok, go to the main page http://www.eventim.de/cgi-bin/TINFO....O_SESSION&fun= . On the very top line of options on the home page the last option is "Meine Daten" which means "My Data". Log in with your username and password (hopefully you remember them). Then click on "Meine Daten" written in blue. Then click on the yellow "Ihre bestellungen" in big bold yellow capitals. In there you'll get your order details. If your status is "Versendet" I think that means dispatched.

Could you find it for me then?

**rodoman** · 21/06/2006, 5:40 PM

I booked mine on the 20th, after reading this ye all have the head vibed off me. I've checked the status, and it says:
In Bearbeitung = In treatment (whatever that means)

however see that they were fairly swift in taking the spon off me credit card

(fingers crossed)

You'll be grand, mine came within 24hrs of ordering

just looked at that site again mostly yellow and red sections on the stadium plan for tickets!!

Well done to all who got tickets. I suspect there will still be time to order tickets for those "German" fans living outside of Ireland.

I was at the WC game last Friday in Stuttgart high up behind the goal. You are a long long way from the action but a good view.

I don't believe there is an "over the counter way" to order these tickets but I will be back in Germany and happy to take orders if there is.

**Jon'o** · 21/06/2006, 6:33 PM

some friendly german lad is selling tickets for the game on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Tickets-Germ...QQcmdZViewItem

think he has a couple of pairs of tickets one of which is going for $20 for the pair at the mo

Prehaps, if the german fa get the ar$e with sending us tickets this lad could come in quite handy for sourcing tickets prehaps?

I got mine in a shop in Dusseldorf last week, so it is worth looking around the cities for ticketmaster-style shops and save the cost of delivery for german beer!
