Do you hold tickets for match numbers 49 through to 62? Which teams will you be watching in Germany?
The knock-out stage ticket dilemma If you hold tickets for the later stages of the World Cup then you will not know which teams they relate to until just days before the game. Like most people, you have probably analyzed the draw, studied the groups, and arrived at a best guess as to whom you will be watching at your allocated game. What if the group results do not go as planned? The World Cup is renowned for upsets, and quite often teams end up in unexpected legs of the knock-out stage. Or even worse, your tickets may relate to winners / runners up etc from groups or matches that have no chance of featuring your team of choice due to the pre-defined draw. What are my options? Once in Germany, and with the FIFA ticket transfer allocation already over-subscribed, you may not have a lot of options apart from attending your appointed game, or if you are brave you could always run the risk selling and re-buying on the black market whilst at the World Cup. The sensible approach We want to help you watch the game of your choice. We can do this by acting as a central control point for all word cup goers with knockout stage tickets. As soon as the group phase games are over , and the teams qualifying for the further rounds decided, the identity of the teams that your tickets relate to will be known. At this point, if your tickets do not correspond to your first choice team then we will put you in direct contact with other ticket holders already in Germany who are in the same situation so that you can arrange a direct swap. In other words, you have the tickets they want, and they have the tickets you want, making the ideal like-for-like exchange partnership. How does it work? The service is fully automated and is SMS (mobile text message) based. We register your preferences before you go to Germany, and add them to our extensive database of people in the same situation. When results are known, and team identities revealed, we text you the details of those fellow ticket holders in Germany who would be willing to discuss an exchange. If however results go right for you and your existing tickets allow you to watch your team of choice then we do not text you. Its as simple as that.
