Most tickets for the Football World Cup in Brazil are already sold out. For shortdecided fans of the national team, it is high time. We’ll tell you how you can still get tickets now.

And, you feel’s it? The unrest shortly before the tournament start? Long it was no problem to keep from World Cup fever unimpressed – Brazil was far away, the summer of 2014 a vague idea. But now approaching the day of the opening game, and many fans are faced with the question: Should we perhaps still spontaneously to Brazil?

Clear: It would have been better to take care of cards several months ago, not to mention flights and hotel beds. But even now there are still ways to find tickets. Even at that for England group games.

Because something is : Fifa.com About 2.7 million World Cup tickets of football ‘s world governing body has been brought to the people , and still you can get on the Fifa website Tickets: Uruguay beat Costa Rica for example, or for Russia against South Korea. More attractive games are sold out , however – or, as spokeswoman Delia Fischer puts it, ” currently unavailable” . Sporadic namely coming back cards back on the market; For example, if an owner uses the ticket resale function of the Fifa website. Until the end of the tournament such a lucky hit will be theoretically possible.

In practice, it ‘s mostly lost their timing. Remaining tickets go on sale without prior notice , at times also in the middle of the night. “You have to know when tickets appear on the platform ,” says Frank Twents , founder of ” tooor.de ” , an online forum for hunters cards . Before the World Cup 2006, the Firefox addon made ​​” Ormustool ” Furore – a user of the portal had programmed the helpers with which the Fifa Cards Shop was clear as efficient as legal. Also in 2014 there was again a software that help ticket buyers, says Twents . ” Dropper Tool ” is the program : ” The Fifa scans the page and immediately sounds an alarm when a ticket is available. ”

This is also expensive : hospitality tickets Nearly 300,000 World Cup tickets , according to Fifa landed not in the card shop for the average consumer , but as a so-called hospitality tickets for a licensee . This in turn distributes the cards as VIP packages with the appropriate charge. The target group are actually companies. But even private individuals have access to the Hospitality packages according to the German distribution partner UFA Sports – if they can not be put off by the prices.

Advantage of the matter : there are cards in this way still plentiful and quite officially , also for Germany and finals . Without wishing to be involved with bootleggers or doubtful third party must , you can buy over ” hospitality.fifa.com ” relaxed tickets. 1150 Euro there costs at the time the cheapest offer for the German preliminary round games ( per piece , mind you) . But then you get access to a VIP tent at the stadium and a seat of the ( best ) Category 1

Still goes: sweepstakes  No joke: For ticket aspirants also contests are an option. “Games should not be underestimated,” says Twents. “These are the sponsors of the World Cup, which get their own card quotas -., And they cut in contests out!” In fact, there is an enormous mass of tickets that was brought in recent months by lottery among the people. 212,000 pieces, the sponsors get loud Fifa, more than 80 percent of which are passed through promotions. There are also contests from companies that do not act as sponsors. For most although there are no tickets, but flights and hotel packages.

Stupidly, the deadline is in most World Cup sweepstakes is now over. You can try your luck, you still with this tire manufacturers and this brewery.

Not the point: third-party  Relatively straightforward, so it seems to be World Cup tickets sold through suppliers such as Viagogo or Ticketbis – even though the Fifa strictly regulated the dissemination of personalized cards. According to tight-lipped spokeswoman Delia Fischer’s Association. “Unfortunately, there are many illegal ticketing pages that try to abuse fans. We caution,” she says. Explicitly only on Fifa.com the sale is legal.

Also tooor.de man Twents discourages sites like Viagogo. “Unless money is a matter,” he says. In fact, the company is again under criticism, mainly because of the high processing fees. Tickets for the World Cup final as you get there from 4300 euros, in addition wants Viagogo 645 € “booking fee”. In addition – by the way, as well as on Ebay – the risk of not being allowed into the stadium at the end anyway. “The card does not even have indeed a forgery,” says Twents. Is also possible that the Fifa have the ticket is locked. “Then you stand in front of the inlet vending, wants in – and can not.”

Since some goes : Brazil Rise without tickets in the plane to Rio and on the spot to try his luck – who gets involved it , the rest has gone. Nevertheless, the task is not as hopeless as it might seem . First of all, the FIFA ticketing center operates at the venues . From June 1, these sales offices are open ; possible remaining tickets go there directly over the counter.

And even if there were to get nothing through official channels – as a last option remains the black market outside the stadium . Although the is considered illegal , but probably has legal consequences to be feared only the seller in doubt. Ticket Expert Twents would be even more involved in his own words on private providers at the stadium than on those on Ebay . One can finally act on site – and at the same time minimize the risk of getting turned on an invalid card. ” Seller I can say namely : . . You’re coming with And wait until I ‘m in ”
