Not surprising having just looked at those Ticket prices.. over 100 us dollars for the cheapest ticket..
Fleecing fans.


I doubt many locals would have that kind of spare money

There is a separate local sale where the tickets have been offered at a lot cheaper prices.
Obviously, none of the locals will be buying those tickets at low prices in order to sell them on at higher prices during the tournament !

Significant drop in the first phase on Brazil.  However demand is still double that of South Africa in 2010.

Locals can apply for the $20 cat 4 tickets. 

The match tickets include free long distance trains.  They aren't cheap but hardly extortionate.

'Select' long distance trains GS which I was told would be "dry" trains LOL
 
Actually had a 5min 'discussion' with few folk involved with the organisation of the tournament that the trains will never be "dry" trains but they were having none of it and my ribs were getting sore from laughing at them insisting they will be.

Remember the trains in plenty of instances involve more than one overnight, so they represent a fairly significant saving on accommodation.

The average train time between venues is 24 hours.

And you definitely don't want to be in F3: Nizhny Novgorod, Sochi and Yeketerinburg then possibly St Petersburg in the last 16. It's basically a two day journey from each place to the next.

I'd bite your hand off right now for F3. It would be amazing to qualify and sorting out the logistics would be a great problem to have.

The prices are so high it's not worth taking the chance. If you get stuck with it nobody's gonna buy a €150 ticket off ya.

Anyone know if news about tickets is supposed to trickle out, or are we notified mid November?

The first thing you will see if you get tickets is a pending credit card charge.  Then an actual charge and then 2-3 days later an email.  Best guess is the end of the month for the pending charges.  I'd be surprised if the emails weren't out before the playoffs begin.

By 15 November.

Incidentally, if you applied for a category that was green for high availability at the end of the sales phase, then you should get tickets as they weren't oversubscribed. Yellow ones were slightly oversubscribed so you might be okay with them.

I can't see the link to see what demand was like now. I think they've taken it down but I recall the following:

TST 3
Cat 1 Low Cat 2 Med Cat 3 High

TST 4
Cat 1 Low Cat 2 Med Cat 3 Med

TST 5
Cat 1 Low Cat 2 Low Cat 3 ???

TST 6
Cat 1 Low Cat 2 Low Cat 3 Low

TST 7
Cat 1 Low Cat 2 ??? Cat 3 ???

  I just received this email. I thought that they would have waited until playoff, considering I applied for Team Specific Tickets

This email is to inform you that starting on the 26th October 2017 the FIFA World Cup Ticketing Centre (“FWCTC”) will be attempting to take payment for the Tickets, which are allocated during the Random Selection Draw process. 

In accordance with the Ticket Sales Regulations, the FWCTC will conduct, or has already conducted, the Random Selection Draw process for the Ticket Applications with Tickets that were over-subscribed. If Tickets are allocated to you, the FWCTC will try to take payment for those Tickets without prior notification.We strongly recommend that you notify your bank of the possible transaction, ensure that your payment card is valid and enabled for online transactions. Please also ensure that the payment card is not restricted by 3D secure requirements and that sufficient funds are available within your payment card limit.

€1,854.97 taken from my account.

Visa Europe says $2,180 = €1,854.97 yesterday.

$2,180 = 4 x Cat2 TST3.

Superb.
