Hotel options For Qatar

[Taunton Blue Genie]

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.
