The first batch of tickets for World Cup 2010 are now on sale. FIFA are offering an initial 743,965 tickets to be allocated by ballot on 15 Arpil. Applicants will be able to apply throught the FIFA website, fifa.com until 31 March. Ticket prices range from £55 to £627 and fans can apply for up to four tickets each per match for up to seven matches.
This is the first of five sale period. Tickets will next be available between 4 May and 16 November.
I just heard from the Scotland Supporters Club the other day. They are offering a chance to get hold of tickets to the Holland v Scotland tickets that will be open to anyone with no points.
Part of me is gutted. I have no points, which hinders me massively towards getting an away ticket. No points equals nigh on no chance of being allocated a ticket, leaving me still with no points – a very annoying cycle. Now that I have a chance to break this cycle and go see the Dutch game I am not going to be able to go. Not that I expect too much pity, but I will be in the US that weekend. Anyway, the long and short of it is that I am a wee bit miffed at this lost chance.
In case you didn’t receive the email, details are being sent out by email next week. Good luck everyone.
BTW, if anyone knows of a Scottish ex-pat group in Atlanta or somewhere there that I can watch the game it would be most appreciated. Thanks.
