No idea if Operation Wife-Bribe will be successful but this is a necessary precondition. I think many of us will be in the same boat. My wife's opposition has started to show some cracks, but I don't know how this will turn out. Could be a lot of middle aged men as single travelers out there. If that ends up being the case, we should all try to meet up in Qatar. You bring your lucky shirt, I'll eat the poutine, and we'll give Canada maximum juju.

I assume when you tier, you mean category, so how did you get 4? The category 4 is supposed to only be for people in Qatar. I’m pretty sure on that. sorry - yes, categories not tiers And I meant Cat 3 not 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver Fan Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 5 hours ago, dyslexic nam said: So out of curiosity are folks applying for Tier 1, 2 or 3. It looks like you can amend your application up to the deadline but wondering if people tried to maximize their chances (tier 1?) or minimize costs (tier 3). I went Category 2 myself.

Neil R. Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 5 hours ago, Joe1973 said: I might be naïve here but if 1/3 of stadium is allocated to the national team fans, I doubt there will be 10-15k Canadian fans applying in this first window. So odds of applicants like us getting seats will be pretty high, no? So I think all of us should be ok. If they're approving so many applications from each country (which is what I hope they're doing in this phase), then that's my gut feeling as well. I think our chances are excellent. If it's a true random draw out of all the applications, then that's a different story. Hopefully the random draw part only comes in if the number of applications from a country exceed the number of tickets they've allocated for that country.

Approve My Account Pls Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Does anyone know if there's been any numbers published per category? I'd obviously prefer to go Cat 3 for financial reasons, but if my odds are much higher at Cat 2 then it's worth forking over the money in my eyes.

From my experience attending previous Euros, Cat 3 tickets are the highest demand and it's honestly because they aren't bad tickets. You could be sitting next to a Cat 2 ticket paying half what they paid. Some Cat 1 tickets are near the corner flag. Imagine shelling out that dough to sit in the corner and not even have the entire view of the pitch. Cat 2 will definitely have less demand than 3. If you apply for Cat 1 I'd say your chances of being successful are very high. Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything on how many tickets are available in each category. I think all we have are the stadium diagrams to get a rough idea of how much space each category takes up. https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/news/ticket-categories-fwc22 Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images of the stadiums seemed to show far more Cat 2 than Cat 3 in terms of actual seats I see..I’m not sure. I have pics of each stadium seating chart in a sense to give you an idea how the categories are broken down, but not specifics. Like I’ve said before, there’s one stadium at 80 grand, one at 60grans and the other six at 40 grand. If you want me to send you a pm with all those pics to give you an idea, let me know.

B_Leaf Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) So if we faced a top ten team in the world what would be your starting eleven? You have Borjan in goal I tend to think Johnstone Vitoria and Adekugbe are locks on the back line. Eustaquio is a lock in the mid field. Buchanon on the wing. Davies is a lock, but where do you play him? I think that is an important decision. Could he play in the center of the pitch more? does it depend on the opponent? I think you have David and Larin up front, but you let both drop back to help defending. Larin is excellent defending set pieces. Who fills out the other spots?

Please don’t take this personally, but it would be good if we could limit the posts in this thread to info about travel and ticket logistics. We have so many off-topic discussions in other parts of the forum that it sometimes makes it hard to find info - and this thread is focused on pretty important and useful info for people planning or considering traveling to Qatar. Really not trying to be a dick - I just think it would be cool to keep this one focused. Plus there are spots (Road to Qatar?) where this would be more on-topic.

Like you can’t go or weren’t able to get accommodations? We just don’t know what the accommodations will be like at this point. FIFA/Qatar have been pretty vague with that. Some rumours floating around but nothing definitive. If you are fortunate enough to get tickets through the lottery and then payment is processed, there are no refunds. FIFA hasn’t released details on its resale ticket portal process yet. In the past, the person who submitted the ticket application can sell tickets back to FIFA for each game respectively. We did that for one game in ‘14. I can’t recall if you sell it back, do they automatically buy it or do they go into the resale portal and you aren’t refunded the money until they are sold to someone else.
