Salam bacheha, long time no see 
Glad to see that so many "old" members are still around.
I also managed to get my wc tickets (me +2) but it was quite a challenge… Logged in long before it started with a very fast internet connection and I was barely able to secure some tickets… took me more than 40 minutes and I was completely exhausted after that. I thought it would be way easier to get those Iran tickets. I was always able to select them but not able to put them in my basket… I originally aimed for Iran TST3 but got TST5 which was the only available one at that moment. 3x TST5 for three people cost me more than 4k
After having those struggles to buy my tickets I was told by my Swiss friends that they created accounts for each friend that is going and they simultaneously tried to secure tickets. I didn't think of that but it seems to be a good strategy.
Btw thank you Kamran jan for your input regarding the credit card companies. I contacted mine and made sure that it was booked correctly.
Also everyone please don't forget the register for your Fan-ID! Our three requests have already been granted. As Saeed said: apart from the fact that you need the ID to have access to the stadiums, you'll also be able to travel for free with certain trains (the site appeared after I submitted my ID-request) and you won't need a visa for Russia (until a few days before and after the wc).
A lot of questions have been asked here that are very well answered on the fifa page. Please make sure to go there to read up for the next phase.
Also Saeed jan thank you for trying to organize the trip. I will let you know as soon as I have more details regarding our plans.
