Re: Hotel options For Qatar

Last update I read in April said 800,000 sold and 23.5 million applications went in. I wouldn’t bank on it but hopefully we can get more than 2k out there.

Id be stunned if anyone wanting a ticket for Wales v Iran or USA didnt get one.

Im hoping to see loads of empty seats. Should never be held there.

Watch it on TV in the pub in Wales or at home or join BLUETIT in an Irish Bar in Tenerife.😂😂

That’s the figure I saw, 800k sold out of 1.3 million on general sale

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?

I was a bit irked at the Euros in France: I decided to watch a game down in Bordeaux between the two Wales games down there and forked out about 100 Euros by buying a ticket through the portal. On the way to the ground people were selling them for a tenth of that price.

Between Austria and Hungary, that is.

The Empire derby?

I sat with an Hungarian on my left side and with whom I spoke English and an Austrian on my right side with whom I spoke German. It was amusing when, at certain times in the match, one of them was getting out of his seat in excitement when the other was looking nervous and vice versa.

Basically you are coming out as a non Hungarian speaker? I long suspected this was the case.

Yes although I did attend City's second leg play-off game against Bristol City away when I couldn't get a ticket on the away end: I thought I would make out that I was Hungarian if challenged (although I can only remember one word of that language).
My logic was that unless anyone there actually spoke Hungarian (which is descended from Mongolian) I wouldn't be tested.
As it happened, my seat was covered by tarpaulin to separate the fans and I had to grunt to several stewards in faux-Hungarian.
