Hotel options For Qatar

[Bruce Parry]

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?

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.
