Anyone on here going to the World Cup?

[eastlondonseagull]

I might go for a few days for the crack, but not got any tickets.

Anyone been successful on the ticket-front?

 

[Dandyman]

Yes, got a ticket for the "Round of 16". Now just have to explain why I can't go to a wedding.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

I'm going. Got tickets for two matches in the early rounds and a quarter final in Munich. My plan is to spend about 10 days driving around going to as many games as possible. Will buy off touts at the last minute for matches I don't have tickets for.

 

[Eggmundo]

Going for 7 days, unable to get tickets though...

 

[Rowdey]

The Observer had a good feature the other month, which focused on the German's encouraging supporters to come over, even without a ticket.
The 'Supporters viewing Area's' they have planned outside the grounds, are going to be really well organised - huge screens, beer tents, entertainment etc for 1000's of fans. Could be a really great atmosphere i reckon..

Prob gonna steam over in car with couple of tents (again lots of camping area's too) and do it this way.


Just to add that also when will the World Cup be this close next..?
S.Africa in 2010, then surely it's got to go to S.America, Asia and poss Oceania before getting back to Europe..? Makes it about 2026..!!!

 

[McShane79]

Not this time. Went to '98 (Eng v Argentina at St Ettiene) and '02 (Eng v Sweden at Saitama and Eng v Argentina in Sapporo).

Gutted now it's getting closer that I am not going! Let my FA membership expire. What a mug!

 

[scarby]

going the 1st game, for three days.............no tickets thou

got tickets and flights book for the last 16, and quarter final.

anyone who wants to sell a paraguay ticket, i'm willing to pay double

 

[SussexSpur]

Yep, and can't wait. Got media accreditation which, thanks to those lovely Germans, includes not only tickets but free rail travel throughout. Gott bless 'em... Only have to fix up accommodation, but may well be satisfied to sleep in bus shelters and railway waiting rooms if it comes to the worst...
Have applied for a game a day for the first three weeks, should heard specifics soon.
Went to France 1998, and Portugal 2004 - cracking atmosphere throughout, can't be missed... Especially with no World Cup in Europe for another 12 years after this...

 

[butchy]

have the F.A released thier plea to england fans without tickets not to travel yet? as 'there will be regulations in place that prevent you from entering the stadia with a ticket that has been illegally purchased on the black market'

ha! im expecting the announcement to be released about 6 weeks before the start of the tornament.

wont stop 80% of the stadium to be filled with england fans when england are playing.....

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Yup. England vs. Paraguay for certain, plus the possibility of any knock-out games.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Going for the whole of the group stages and the flying in and out for the knockouts. Had no chance of tickets because I also didn't bother with englandfans this time, but none of my mates who are members got tickets anyway. I'm confident i'll get to see all the england games except for sweden, where the swedes will be after tickets as well.
Good news on the ticket front yesterday with ebay now banned from selling them. Hopefully this will mean that there will be more out in germany, which in turn will push down prices. I wonder when the Fa will start telling us that we won't get in without our names on tickets

 

[coventrygull]

My Mrs Has a chance of winning an all expenses paid trip plus executive box if she keeps her sells up. Its only for one. So hope she fucks up big time

 

[NewtownRoad]

Be rude not to.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I am going...Have tickets for every England game upto and including the final (if we get that far). Going out for the group games initially and then back-and-forth between England and German as and when we progress.

Look out for the flag.

Albion & England forever.

That's similar to what a mate of mine's doing too, except he's timing it to go out and come back between each group game too - to cut down on time off work. Seems fair enough... if you can manage it...

He's also taking along a flag... wouldn't like to be stuck under this one throughout the game...! :

So your mate is responsible for that flag is he?...He had a lot of people on the englandfans website contribute towards that.

[Mr Blobby]

I will be out in Germany for all the England games. Popping out and back for group games (to save holiday) and will then go out for knock out stages until England get knocked out. Have slight problem (same as Dandyman) that a mate is getting married on the 24th June. Hope the England game is the 25th so we can get to the wedding then fly back to Germany for the match.

The ticket for the final (only get one if England in it) is £150, is that good value or not? Some people think its a rip off, I think its good value if England are in the final - how much would you be prepared to pay (Its a Category 3 ticket - 4 is the lowest , 1 the most expensive)?

[Stumpy Tim]

Got tickets for all England group games. We'll have an Albion flag too

 

[le fabue]

Won tickets for England v Trinidad. Still costing over £700 for 2 nights accomodation and travel!
