Family and friends are definitely gonna get the majority of those. As just fans, we will probably have to go through FIFA directly. Again, I'm i am not 100% sure of this, but I recall that the Nationals associations get allocated tickets and the amount is based on whether they're playing in the WC finals. In the past, i seem to recall that Canada got a very tiny portion (something 8K). And that was because we didnt qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJsens1 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 29 minutes ago, Free kick said: it should be much much more that 15K... My reasoning for that arbitrary number was 6 of the 8 stadiums are only 40000 seats (other two are 60 and 80 grand). Assuming the other country gets the same amount, that’s 30 grand of most of the stadiums gone already. You can’t allocate 30000 to a country when 75% of the time, a stadium can only accommodate 40000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yahoo article says this is first application phase running till Feb 8. Cheapest ticket is cat 3 level for US$70. A bit cheaper than Russia. Which other sport org drops their ticket prices for any tiers? Qataris get it cheaper with cat 4 tickets at US$11 - the cheapest since Mexico 86 US$3 local price. Article says low price is to make easier for migrant workers - apparently the 2019 World Track & Field Championship local tickets were $US17 but still didn't sell. 90k in rooms will be made available later this year on a website. Peak rooms needed is estimated to be 128k between Nov 27-28. https://sports.yahoo.com/qatar-world-cup-ticket-sales-220426013.html Winnipeg Fury, EJsens1 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplebanana Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Has there been any discussion on what the costs of accommodation are going to be? I will put my name into this ticket lottery anyway, but if the options are 1) spend $1000 a night for a Holiday Inn or 2) spend $200 a night to sleep in a tent in the desert for 2 weeks with no running water, then I'd probably pass.

DeRo_Is_King Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Just applied. Was pretty straightforward. Asks for a passport number, but I just put TBD and was able to submit the application. Hope it's eligible. My total came close to $10,000 QAR, which is currently about $3,400 CAD. That was for the final and a four-match Canada package in Category 1. So, that's single admission to five different matches. I didn't bother applying for guests, because things are unclear on that front and I would have had to provide their names, etc. Fortunately, there is an option to join groups so that you can be seated with whom you want, as long as they apply, too. Deadline is Feb. 8. Edited January 19, 2022 by DeRo_Is_King johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJsens1 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) So the day is here… https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/tickets Everything you need to apply is above. @DeRo_Is_King applied for the actual final game though in his package in case you’re wondering about why it is that expensive. It is a very easy process, I think. I’ll just get right to point here about ticket prices. The prices are listed. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll apply under the international ticketing process obviously. Couple basic steps through that and you’ll get to this point.. I picked the team specific ticket series. Once you get through that you’ll get this page.. So whatever amount of games you plan to stay for, in this case 4 (through round of 16), I choose the Canada TST4. Once you select that below will be the category of seating you want and the number of people (up to 6) Here is the pricing into Cdn dollars 1 cdn dollar=2.92 qatar rial approximately If you want the Canada TST 3 games Cat 1- 2640 QR=$904 CDN Cat 2- 1980 QR=$678 CDN Cat 3- 825 QR=$282 CDN If you want Canada TST 4 games Cat 1-3740 QR=$1280 CDN Cat 2-2805 QR=$960 CDN Cat 3-1210 QR=$414 CDN Again, these are approximations, but should be pretty close with the exchange rate. I can’t get over how cheap Cat 3 tickets are if you do the 3 game package. When you are filling out all the information from the other people going with you this is the info you will need as a heads up I hope this gives you an idea. There was nothing released on hotels, or whatever accommodations yet unfortunately Edit..upon closer look, you can see the disparity in the number of tickets they have allocated for each Category (category 4 are for the people of Qatar and don’t apply for international supporters) so keep that in mind if/when you apply. Just a couple of examples here.. Edited January 19, 2022 by EJsens1 Shway, dyslexic nam and red card 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What happens if you go the 4 game package and Canada is out in 3? Out of luck, refunded or given another round of 16 match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of luck, refunded or given another round of 16 match? Good question..I couldn’t find the answer to that. My best guess, you are refunded the money. Essentially if Canada doesn’t make it, it would mean another country(and their supporters) obviously would fill that spot. I’m personally not planning to apply until after this deadline (Feb 8th) but that may change. I’ll see if I can get the exact answer for this. There is a FAQ page as well https://fifa.powerappsportals.com/en-US/qatar2022/ Edited January 19, 2022 by EJsens1 CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate all the information. Good timing..just went and saw this. I was wrong. So if you get the 4 game package and Canada doesn’t make it out of the group, you still have the ticket for the game in the round of 16. I suspect you can try to resell it back through the FIFA ticketing portal but I’m not sure. If your intention (flight and hotel already booked anyway) was to stay for Canada, you might as well enjoy the game as disappointing as it will be if Canada were eliminated. That’s my take on it. Yes if Canada doesn’t make it you can get a refund for a small fee (less than $20 cdn) Edited January 19, 2022 by EJsens1 johnyb and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If you are successful in this draw does it preclude you from possibly getting supporter tickets in the next round? I know for Euros the supporter tickets were done through federations (ie I randomly signed up for the Portugal one the day before tickets launched as was able to get for any of their matches that I wanted) but not sure if WC is different.

The first round runs from Monday November 21st through Friday December 2nd. The last possible day Canada would start would be Thursday the 24th of November. Second round goes from Saturday December 3rd through Tuesday December 6th. If they qualify, you’ll obviously be able to piece together when they start and when a possible round of 16 match is exactly and then plan accordingly for flights and accommodations.

I’ve seen that brought up about federations issuing tickets. I just don’t know. I’ll post below what FIFA is saying about ticket purchases. I’m not sure if applying for the Canada TST package puts you in a designated supporters area or randomly in the category section you choose. Sorry I don’t know. There’s also going to be a fan ID card needed within the country. Not much info yet on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the problem. We know when the tournament starts but that's it. And not knowing adds to the costs. We know the group stage lasts two weeks but, you don't need to be there for two full weeks and may not want to. Just knowing that you need to be there 10 or 11 days (for example) versus 14 days is significant. Much wont be known until the draw in April but is it too late to start planning then?

Shway Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Will there be a dedicated supporters section? How can you just pick tickets and then a lot of us are somewhere else. I guess it doesn't hurt to submit? I have no clue how this shit works but I definitely want to be involved and not miss out.

It’s a tough dilemma. That’s the nature when attend a sporting event that is a tournament setting like this. There are 3 different phases for applying. You can wait it out, see where Canada lands and apply in the next phase (phase 2) after the draw in April. Problem with that, from my memory, is that is the phase that has the most applicants. It only makes sense as you can better plan your trip. Phase 3 is later and I believe it’s first come first served for the tickets left. I don’t see Canada being a huge draw but if they get stuck in a group with like England and the Netherlands for example, there will be a lot of demand. It’s not an easy decision to make, especially if you’re going with multiple people and coordinating schedules/vacation time from work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
