No time like the present, I suppose.  I love the bit about payment methods btw - the 1st option, Visa cards is relatively clear cut, but then you have 'other payment methods'...???  Care to expand on that please, FIFA?  ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

They'll refund minus the handling fee of $10. Supporter Tickets (ST) and Conditional Supporter Tickets (CST): National team supporters can apply for Supporter Tickets for the Group Stage Matches played by the national team between Match 1 and Match 48; national team supporters can also apply for the Conditional Supporter Tickets which are the Tickets available for the four Second Round matches that could potentially be played by the national team in the Round of 16, the Quarter-Finals, the Semi-Finals, the 3rd Place Match and the Final. All Conditional Supporter Tickets are conditional upon the national team qualifying for the respective match. If your team is eliminated, your right to be provided with, and use, the ordered Conditional Supporter Ticket(s) for such Second Round Match(es) will automatically cease to exist. In such cases you will be refunded for any Second Round Match Ticket(s) purchased by you and not played by your team due to elimination, minus a handling charge deducted by FIFA equivalent to 10.00 US Dollars per customer/guest (up to a maximum of US Dollars 40.00 per order) or the equivalent in Russian Roubles, regardless of the number of Second Round Matches you may have covered through your request. |

Agree with Larry Duff, they stung me in 2010 for a good bit of handling and admin fee's. It will be like the euros, zero point applying for FMT tickets unless you have a terrible record, you'll just make your usual application through the fai I assume so if applying for tickets now I'd just be planning which cities you want to visit and when and make the application based on that and if by some miracle we make a play off and qualify then apply through the fai for Ireland tournament tickets and save yourself the fkn admin fee's ------------- 1312 |

So once you apply for the tickets you have to put the passport numbers of you and your friends who are going with you in. Does this exclude me applying for tickets and entering my girlfriend as the one who will go with me and then her doing the same thing? Do they run a search by passport number and exclude duplicates?

Your match ticket gets you a FAN ID which gives you your entry visa into Russia and your free travel between host cities so to answer your question I'd say yes. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

Yes they will definitely check for duplicate passport numbers. Of course you could apply with a different guest. She could also apply with a different guest and you could still bring each other to the games. However you need a ticket in your own name from FIFA to get a Fan ID. You will need a valid Fan ID to get into the country and to attend games. For the Confederations Cup the Fan ID did not need to match the name on the ticket according to an Irish friend of mine and some German ground-hoppers.

Yes I'll be there for the group stage come what may. If we don't make it I will stay in Moscow and do a few day trips if I can find cheap trains/flights. Currently flights to Moscow are great value, hotels are great value and tickets should be easy enough to source. Only limited internal flight are available and the free trains won't suit if trying to do a lot of games.

You should be able to get tickets in this phase. Pick a schedule that suits you and target a few games. You could double your chances if you and your girlfriend apply separately. It should be possible to sell unwanted tickets back to FIFA. It could be the easiest and cheapest World Cup to attend for many years. Great value hotels available in most places on free cancellation. Cheap flights to Russia although internal flights still not sorted out. |
Posted By: cildaratown
Date Posted: 23 Sep 2017 at 10:00pm
Can we apply separately? Or will FIFA run a search on passport numbers and see that we've each applied for more than 7 matches (the 7 I apply for with her passport number as my guest and the 7 she applies for with my passport as the guest). |
Posted By: gspain
Date Posted: 24 Sep 2017 at 1:35pm
They do check for duplicate applications. They will find duplicate passport numbers. To put it simply you have 2 options 1) You apply for up to 7 games with all your correct details naming your girlfriend with all her correct details as your guest. You get 2 Fan IDs from this account. OR 2) You apply with all your correct details naming your girlfriend with an incorrect date of birth, incorrect passport id etc. From a separate computer using a different address and credit card your girlfriend applies (using all her correct details) naming you with an incorrect DOB and passport id. You get your Fan ID from your account and she gets hers from her account (so you both provide the correct details to the Russian authorities). You could with option 2 apply for more than 7 games or double up on some games. Many games outside Moscow will be easy enough. You can see the current demand when you apply. You could wait until after the Wales game or even change after the Wales game.

Smart - it's the same name so it would match the fan id, but it's a different number and such. Appreciate it. Edit: Ony question is do they scan the fan id at immigration to make sure this doesn't happen (e.g. If your fan id that corresponds to the tickets wasn't scanned your ticket won't work at the gate). |

They will check your Fan ID at immigration with your passport. Those details must match. FIFA have no access to your passport details. It doesn't really matter what you tell them. For the Confederations Cup they apparently scanned your Fan ID and then in a separate process scanned your ticket.

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. -------------

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 ??? -------------

It's the 2% each way the bank charge me that'll be the pain. That's 4% of $2,180, or $71.20. Add on the $10 fee and it's $81.20. That'll be about €70.... if Ireland don't qualify, I'll have lost about €70 on absolutely nothing. I doubt the other three lads will pay it. Then again, for the peace of mind of having tickets now, I'll deal with it. I'm not even going to ask the other lads for it, be grand. Once the €/$ exchange rate doesn't change much the wrong way over the next month and cost me more than that, I won't mind too much. -------------

Brazil was an amazing location. Demand for Russia is still double that for South Africa at this stage. Now they had to sell any ticket they could at cat 4 and let locals in for free to make the stadiums look kind of full. I'm not convinced most games will sellout. Moscow and Saint Petersburg will be full no matter who plays. The likes of Saransk etc will be a tough sell for the likes of Portugal v Nigeria.

Do we honestly think we will bring huge numbers to Russia if we get there? A lot of people are fearful (Not me) and are saying they will avoid it.

Its quite hard to say really. I'll put it this way, there won't be the same amount of people doing 3 games and travelling around the cpuntry as the number who did 3 games in France, I'd be reasonably confident of that. But if we were drawn in Moscow or St Petersburg in one game, there would be a huge amount at that particular game as it wouldn't require another flight or train once yer that far. Due to the nature of the country, ie alleged threat of hooligans, accommodation difficult in some places, the distance between some venues, you will see a spectacular return to form by the package operators. Just say there is a game on in Sochi or whatever, some firms will have a 2 or 3 night deal, € 800 or € 1000 or whatever it may be, and the likes of these offers will prove very popular, especially for those concerned about a safety element, they will be flown there, brought to hotel, bussed to game, brought back to hotel & fly home again and not really come in to much contact with locals at all. So while Irish attendances might not be significantly down too much on game days, the amount of lads knocking around Russia between games certainly will be, that's my guess anyway. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Just got an email saying I was successful for the opening game but the debit failed. Makes no sense. I even called boi to warn them. Email says I've 5 days to fix it..I used a Visa Debit. Has that worked for anyone so far? Went for the final too but doubt they'll give the 5 days to sort that.. |

| Strangely, I go into FIFA a/c and it says pending for all, I went for both semis and the final as a maybe last chance. They took visa debit for the confed..bank holiday call to the robots..:) |

| €91 taken from FIFA earlier today. Thats one of the games I applied for in Moscow. So that’s the entry visa sorted. Ha! |

| Yeah, once you have a ticket, you can get the fanid for the duration and use it for free travel. If you have the time youd be mad not to take this chance. |

I got the same email, using a visa debit also. They say they will make further attempts to take payment, and if they fail there will be an online portal where you can manually enter payment information.

Everybody's account will be pending for a few more days. It seems emails came approx a week after pending credit card transactions for Brazil. Somebody on another forum took the time to check. I can't recall for sure. It may be possible to login and see what tickets you have in a couple of days. Anyway if you have a pending credit card charge you are guaranteed your tickets. This is the first time FIFA or UEFA have offered a 2nd chance. The Irish banks are pretty good in this scenario. Irish Visa debit does work definitely. Chase in then U.S. seem to have rejected most transactions probably deciding FIFA are some dodgy foreign organisation whereas in truth...oh ............. |

| I had €800 odd gone from my account yesterday but when I login today the transaction is gone completely and the €800 returned. I logged into BOI365 on the desktop now as app doesn't show pendings transactions clearly. No sign pending there either. Like others have said request status is pending on FIFA account and I've got no email either. Don't know what to make of the money going back to a/c and transaction disappearing altogether? |

call your credit card company. Ask them did they refuse the transaction. You won't get an email for a few days etc.

That happened me last time. However, the following day, the money was actually gone and showing up. The way it seemed to work was that the authorisation lasted for like three days but the money only left my account on the fifth day, which was a bit odd. Still, though, I'd phone the bank. -------------

Do you think there is any point ringing BOI on the weekend? Or will it only be worth my while contacting them Tues?? |
