[saeed_noro]

ma ham Hamid karo mikonim pas... wann ist dein Rückflug? und welchen Zug (Uhrzeit) hast du für Rückfahrt ausgewählt? ich habe den aller letzten genommen...am besten du auch diesen wegen evtl feiern

[saeed_noro]

I'm in moscow the day before and the day after. Might do the train at night (sleep in the train), get to Saransk in the morning, hang out all day, go to the game at night, then get the 2am train back to Moscow, and sleep in the train again. Leave my luggage in my hotel in Moscow and just bring a backpack for the 36 hour trip. Could work out great or be a disaster lol. Anyone know the rules on whether you can bring a backpack into the stadium?

same here. we will all do it this way, they also do not want you to stay in saransk. therefore they did the train solution over night. we will do it all together this way, I choose the last train, probably making some shulugh pulugh whatever result we get there, qualification or elimination, no difference

I have been to Kazan before and it's a beautiful city. They are Tatar so about half the population is Muslim but the good normal kind and they love Iranian Culture. In fact Rostam is one their most popular names

I will be basing myself there and probably taking the train to St Petersburg and Saransk if my tickets go through.

Hi all, Long time no see!

I am having some questions and hoping someone being able to help out.

1. How will I in fact know that I will be placed with other Iranians / Iranian fans given that I do get hold of a ticket(s)?

2. Is there a way that you can be seated next to somebody if the other person would on a later stage apply for tickets? In other words, if I would apply on my own now, and friends apply later and we all get tickets is there anyway to sit next to each other? Or is that more or less only possible if you apply for tickets in the same request?

3. Is it possible to e.g. "I am willing to pay up to a Category 1 in order to have a better chance of getting a ticket" But preferred option would be Category 3, and then 2 before 1? If so, how is that done?

4. I am noticing some links that can be used to apply from Iran? Is that something you guys would rather recommend to do? Should we then only rely on the Iranian apply process or rather try to apply via the Iranian end as well as Fifa? Or would that e.g. risk that you need to pay double? What are the conditions for the "Iranian end"? to more or less have a Iranian passport? But still OK that the passport might say something about residence Sweden?

Thanks.

[Sepandiiiiiiiii]

Yes no hotels in Saransk. My group is taking the train from Moscow to Saransk then back to noscow 2 hours after the match. This is everyones most ideal thing to do rn. However, we are not sure if we can get cabins in the train or not like beds etc..

[tiesto]

Hey guys

So do you guys know any trains from Saransk to St. petersburg right after the game? I can't find any ... flights are all out of Saransk at 6 am. Would be brutal to stay in the airport from after the game until the flight ...

[DJPedram]

anyone is solo traveler here?

[DJPedram]

Is it better to get category 1 ticket or category 2 or category 3 tickets?
I looked at Iran Football Federation, they are saying Iran is alloctaed with 2700 tickets. The stadium is fitting 50,000 people. if 20% goes away that means 40,000 tickets can be sold.
Are there more chances with Category 1 or 2 or 3?

Got an email from FIFA today:
New Seating Group functionality now available
Dear -----
Until 31st January 2018, the FIFA World Cup Ticketing Centre (“FWCTC”) is providing all Ticket Applicants with successful Ticket Applications from Sales Phase (1) and/or with pending Ticket Applications from the current Random Selection Draw Sales Period of Sales Phase (2) with the opportunity to submit a request to be allocated seats next to the seats of other Ticket Applicants and Guests from other Ticket Applications.
To use this functionality, please access your Ticketing Account and choose one of the alternatives below:
- Create a new Seating Group:
When creating a new Seating Group, you are provided with a unique Seating Group Reference Number, which other Ticket Applicants that would like to be seated next to you should enter within their Ticketing Accounts.
- Join an existing Seating Group:
You can join an existing Seating Group by entering its unique Seating Group Reference Number within your Ticketing Account.
Please note that precondition to be seated together is that Ticket Applications contain the same Ticket products in the same Ticket categories. Ticket Applications containing incompatible Ticket products/categories will not be seated together, for example: Team Specific Ticket Series (“TST”) Tickets for different teams, Supporter Tickets (“ST”) or Conditional Supporter Tickets (“CST”) for different teams, or any Ticket products of different Ticket categories.
Please note that this functionality is not guaranteed as it may not be possible to provide adjacent seats to all Ticket Applications. Wherever possible, the FWCTC will seat the Ticket Applicants and Guests within the same Seating Group next to each other, but this is not guaranteed, and, in any case, a specific seating order cannot be guaranteed by FIFA.
If you have applied for Tickets during the current Random Selection Draw Sales Period of Sales Phase (2), please note that creating or joining a Seating Group will NOT change the status of your Ticket Application. This means that this Ticket Application will remain pending until the FWCTC notifies you following the conclusion of the Random Selection Draw Sales Period.
If you would like to create a Seating Group, please follow the steps below:
1. Click on “My Requests” at the bottom of this communication;
2. Log-in to your Ticketing Account;
3. Select “My Requests” from the Top menu of the Ticketing page;
4. Within the section “Seating Group”, select “Create Group”;
5. A unique Seating Group Reference Number will be automatically generated and shown within your Ticketing Account. Please inform other Ticket Applicants who would like to be seated next to you of this unique reference.
If you would like to join an existing Seating Group, please follow the steps below:
1. Click on “My Requests” at the bottom of this communication;
2. Log-in to your Ticketing Account;
3. Select “My Requests” from the Top menu of the Ticketing page;
4. Within the section “Seating Group”, enter the unique Seating Group Reference Number of the Seating Group that you would like to join, and select “Join Group”.
Please note that, by creating or joining a Seating Group, all of your Ticket Applications will become part of the respective group. If other Ticket Applicants join the same group, the FWCTC will attempt to assign adjacent seats to compatible Tickets, i.e. Tickets of the same Ticket product and Ticket category, contained in such Ticket Applications.
The Seating Group functionality is available until 31st January 2018. After 31st January 2018 at 10H CET/12H Moscow Time, the Seating Group functionality will no longer be available, and it will not be possible for Ticket Applicants to request to be seated next to other Ticket Applicants and Guests from different Ticket Applications.
To view the status and details of your Ticket Application at any time, log into your Ticketing Account by following the steps below:
1. Click on “My Requests” at the bottom of this communication;
2. Log-in to your Ticketing Account;
3. Select “My Requests” from the Top menu of the Ticketing page.
If you have any queries regarding your Ticket Application please refer initially to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) that are available at www.FIFA.com/tickets, or by clicking on the link at the bottom of this communication. Customers wishing to contact us with ticketing enquiries may do so by clicking “Contact Us” at the bottom of this communication or by phone on 8 495 787 2018 for Russian residents, or + 41 44 563 2018 for international customers.

[Mr.Click]

what would happen if one gets to purchase tickets but ends up not using them, what would be the options?

[DJPedram]

Seems like you can resell them.

I want to know what do you see the chances of being able to get a world cup ticket?

For those who haven't been to Kazan before but are heading there, I hope you find this guide I wrote helpful
