Ironicly, the other match I got that was non-us is in Kaiserslauten a few days later. I guess I should have consulted my calendar before posting!

The BBC will also have live coverage of England's first knockout clash - possibly against hosts Germany or Poland - if they qualify with ITV taking picks two and three. The remaining games will be split between the two broadcasters on a one-by-one basis.

First choice of quarter-final also goes to the BBC, which would again be England if they make the last eight. BBC will take first and fourth pick of quarter final games, with ITV taking picks two and three

And any England semi-final or final appearance would also be on the BBC as well as ITV...

Anyone else heard of anything like this??

Played 5-a-side with a colleague last night, he'd religiously followed the application rules to the extent of getting a new Mastercard especially for World Cup tickets.

Last Thursday, the card issuer contacted him to ask for approval for an "unusual transaction" - an "out of character" request for payment. The request was from FIFA to debit around 500 quid.

Of course he said yes yes yes, pay it now!!!! He was told there should be no implications - this was a "referral" not a "refusal". He waited in excitement to see what matches he'd got.

He got the standard email from FIFA on Saturday saying his application for tickets had not been successful in the draw.

And the card in question - with a 2 grand limit - has not been debited.

So FIFA appoint Mastercard as a key sponsor, then they collude to set up a system where you can't use VISA or AMEX to pay for tickets ... and then, when you've been allocated some tickets on your new Mastercard, M/C won't pay FIFA because it's an "unusual transaction" so the ticket application is rejected?!??!??!?

There must be other cases like Steve's - and this smacks of a football + money cock up that's just taken the p*ss a little bit too far.

BACK ON TOPIC,i see england sunday school club have been allocated 5,000 extra tickets for the 3 group games

[all you need is duff]

The fourth sales period opens on a "first come, first served" basis on Wednesday at Midday CET. Am i right in thinking that means it opens at 11am GMT?

[waggy]

good news the tickets are going down in price on e-bay £222 for 1 england v paraguay ticket

[Will]

As expensive as that is, that is below the going rate on the streets.

I know people that have paid on average £250 a ticket for any of the group games.

[waggy]

[gazsimm]

I've had the tickets page on "refresh" for last couple of days whenever I've been at my PC but I've never even seen a glimpse of yellow.

[all you need is duff]

All of a sudden some action: tickets available for Sweden Vs Paraguay, Germany Vs Costa Rica and Togo Vs Korea Republic

Edit: In fact, throughout the last 15minutes, 8 or 9 games have suddenly had a few obstricted view tickets availabe. None of them were ones I was interested in though.

[bellamy11]

There were loads of yellows yesterday and even a green (category 1 Ukraine Vs Tunisia IIRC) but an no point was I allowed past that stage due to the amount of traffic on the ticket shop.

[Will]

Yeh, Same here.

Im after a couple of tickets for the Last 16 game at Kaiserslautern.

No chance of getting any on there I'm afraid.

Did anyone succeed in Phase 4? I stayed up from 10pm (when the tickets went on sale) to 1.30am before the site updated to German text and was all red, in other words all sold out.

Does anyone know if there are going to be any more tickets released. Apparently there were some more released last night too?

I'm looking for tickets to any games in Munich, and also any Australia games if you know anyone looking to offload any?!?!

[waggy]

i think tickets will go on sale when they are returned from fa,s sponsers etc,a mate off mine got a 1st game ticket that involves germany,so i expect some tickets for all teams to appear.it will stop the english fa from not selling the returned tickets like they did for the croatia match in lisbon.the fa bought them but refused to put them on sale as they said all england fans had tickets what they really meant was all englandfans that pay £70 to be menbers off the sunday school club had tickets,and all the rest can buy off touts

[Will]

I've been checking on there every few hours or so.

Some tickets come on, then go off, to get hold of some is close to impossible. You would have to be on the site refreshing constantly to view them.
