I just hope their lottery system has a way to minimize large ticket resellers from scooping up tons of tickets

Has anyone gotten in. I've been in the waiting room for an hour

Just now got a 20 minute countdown after having it open for an hour.

Been waiting an hour on my end

Just got a 29 minute countdown lol

Did y'all have the browser up the whole time, or in the background? I know you can't refresh, but tired of making sure my phone screen is on

I've had it up in its own window while I use other tabs or programs on my computer

Who's going to rent a TexAgs WC party bus. Road trip!

Dallas has games for group F, J & L. Houston has games for group E, F, H, & K. Both host 5 group matches

Then Houston has 1 Ro32 & 1 Ro16.

Dallas has 2 Ro32, 1 Ro16 & 1 SF. Very curious to see what that SF match costs

Got the countdown finally

got in but only to a certain point. single game tickets $1400 (roughly). Multi-game ticket package for one location roughly $8500. Can't get past that page to actually try and pick a game or site though.

Those are the hospitality package tickets. Kinda like VIP.

The actual match tickets aren't on sale yet. The entry today is to enter a drawing for the chance to buy single game tickets. They stated earlier that the cheapest group stage tickets will be around $60-70 and then obviously it goes up from there.

Got it. Looks like I'm in a hospitality section and a single game draw section. 2 different parts. thanks for clarifying cuz this FIFA thing is confusing AF

I'm confused.

I thought you'd get notified by email about the lottery if you had previously registered your interest (and then actually won a spot).

That didn't happen for me.

I think I'm successfully in the draw. What a confusing ass system

Man this sucks. I "registered my interest" months ago and have been getting emails from them from time to time. Got one last week reminding about the draw, and telling me to "stay tuned for more details on how to enter" and that's the last email I got from them.

So this is where we enter the draw, but it doesn't actually happen until Sept 29, right?

If so, I'm gonna stop waiting and get back to work and try again after the surge.

same, I guess maybe this means we're double-entered, but who knows...or else it just evolved into today's draw

correct...sept 29 at the latest. so vague haha

It is vague. They do say "earliest" not "latest" though, so we know it's not happening tomorrow.

Reading again, the email said the entry phase runs until Sept 19.

I'm gonna get back to work and try again later.

Countdown timer at 8 minutes

This should be early access for VISA cardholders. I think the other interest gets you into the main draw later, but who knows.

Yeah I'm gonna do this one because why not. But I'm not gonna kill myself to register today.

Also - gotta love FIFA - I just got the email about this event 15 mins ago despite the fact that it was well underway.

I'm just getting 'bad request" after I enter everything

yeah I just received the stupid email

countdown at 49 mins


this might be the most poorly set up website since al gore invented the internet

You'd think they'd at least be smart and put some ads on the screen if they're gonna make people wait.

Don't give them ideas

aaaanddddd....after countdown ended got "Service unavailable" and it kicked me back to the tickets & hospitality screen


just freaking fantastic FIFA

oh wow

I logged in again and it took me to the screen

Entry completed!

Zero wait today. I got right in.

Y'all have until Sept 19 at 10AM central time to register.

Yep, much easier to do today. Entry completed, but my expectation is about as high as with Masters tickets...

Well, there is another avenue for ticket purchases, and I'm now the guinea pig.

You can buy a Right to Buy for a specific city from that gimmicky, yet legit FIFA Collect site that we discussed a long time ago. The emails from FIFA about this kept taunting me, and I decided this is a bucket list thing, so why not just do it.

Last time I looked they were completely out, but they had another drop today I think. Houston and Dallas were $300, which was the lowest cost amongst all the venues I saw. The big downside is that you don't know what game you're gonna get at that site - and - if you get a group stage you get a right to buy 2 tickets, but if you get knockouts, you only get 1.

I was really really hoping to just get Group stage, for price and the 2nd ticket, but 1 is the loneliest number for me. I got Round of 16, game M90 in Houston!
