Re: Hotel options For Qatar

I can never understand this lark of going to a foreign country and then heading for the nearest Irish bar.

If you want an Irish bar, go to f***ing Ireland

Was an Irish bar mentioned?

Hard to think of a worse place to have a World Cup to be honest….

Yes too true. Such a shame.

Re: Hotel options For Qatar

Paul Corky, from the fans federation, was just on Sky Sports, saying exactly this.

Don’t attempt to book travel or accommodation without getting your match ticket first

Then the FAW need to get ticket allocation for us sorted with FIFA asap Tone. What an expensive ball ache it is going to be. As today has progressed with me looking at travel and accommodation options the less excited i have become. Millionaires World Cup. There seems to be no cheap option, unless we are allowed to pitch a tent up near the stadiums.

Ha - very true!. Exactly what my son said to me coming away from the match - let's make sure we are in Wales to watch the matches.

Be great if the civic powers of cities and towns could create communal venues up and down the country. Not sure how outdoor fan parks/zones would work in November but there should be number of indoor/covered zones organised, you’d like to think?

Lanzarote for me, I think. I'll go to my usual resort of Costa Teguise. There are some cracking Scots and Irish bars who won't be supporting England out there.

Risky in the current climate, imagine you could be on the plane and they say sorry the pilots done his hours we are cancelling the flight, we will try and find another for next week!

Re: Hotel options For Qatar

We have 2,600 members who qualified for Poland and Netherlands away. Allocation per game should be 2,300. We’ve missed out on the ballots that were massively over subscribed. No chance of tickets unless you go away regular.

With not being able to enter the country, I can’t see many actually being able to go. I hope everyone kept their cool and hasn’t already spent close to a grand on flights with little hope of entry to Qatar.

Does anyone know how ticket sales have gone for the World Cup generally?

I remember in South Africa, there were some games with perhaps 10,000 empty seats. It's far poorer than Qatar of course, but with a much greater population and more of a football country.

Are games selling out? Is it not possible that for many games we will see official allocations for each team significantly increase? I can see how Iran, USA and England are probably three of the more interesting teams to Qataris, but are they really going to turn out in their tens of thousands for all these games?

Re: Hotel options For Qatar

Official allocation around 2,300 per game. FIFA sales currently closed but last minute phase yet to be opened. I read that sales so far between 40-70% depending on which game, with midweek games down as low as 25% because the locals have to work.
