Hopefully one of them is England. If you are being serious... Get in touch when you're here! I'm hosting/transporting a few Villa fans... and Scouse fans as well. Can probably organise something with the local lions as well. Edited November 17, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted November 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2022 It’s hard to guess attendances. I was trying to buy a ticket so that I could get a Hayya card required to enter Qatar during nov and dec. I eventually succeeded on the resale platform but it was harder than getting glastonbury tickets. Not actually entering now, decided to stay in the airport all day (today - Friday) instead. Sold my ticket now but I still have an entry permit, so It’s possible that resale tickets are just circulating round people who want to visit Qatar during this time since there are no exceptions for usual business travellers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the fan park outside which can serve it but not the ground itself, dont know about their 0% stuff Been said before it's a multi tournament deal, they'll lose out here but no doubt get a huge windfall in 4 years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Now FIFA appear to be angry that they're not allowed to sell alcohol outside stadiums. TBH FIFA, you can't have it both ways. You took cash and had the most corrupt process bar maybe South Africa to get it there, and now you're complaining about the consequences of handing a World Cup to a nation with no interest in football culture, no interest in Western values and no interest in doing anything except for using your tournament in their sportswashing attempt.

With a huge percentage of the population being football fans. Aside from even that, alot of people will have bought tickets just purely for the experience of the mega event in a small country. Add to that... The expatriates from all the neighbouring countries. This is without considering anyone coming from the West. They genuinely won't have a problem filling stadiums and events ... Most of us here are actually dreading the place being over packed... And it's started already. Even locals are finding it near impossible to access tickets.

Yeah from my experience of the resale platform all games will be sold out. It was genuinely difficult to buy tickets, I eventually managed to get 1 for Ecuador vs Senegal after a few hours of persistence and learning how the system worked over a few different sessions.
