The Road To Brazil 2014 via Wellington feat. Mexico

I was under the impression that if you bought your season ticket before 31 July you got early access to AWs tickets, but I bought a season ticket yesterday and I've received email confirmation of it but no email about the AWs. Should I phone ticketek and give them a bollocking or give it a few more days?

Anyone have tips on buying football World Cup tickets? Bit of a difficult process, not helped by the first phase starting before draw out. (Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, wasnt sure about starting a new one for it)

Yep. Makes for some tough decisions. Plus have to hope that airfares etc dont skyrocket after getting the tickets (which they will). Also with the first phase being before the draw, you basically just have to take a stab at something and hope you like what you get. The alternative is waiting until the next phase and increasing your chances of missing out. 

Thinking might take a stab at a venue, hope we get tickets and a big game/s end up there. If miss out, go for AWs tickets in 2nd phase if they qualify. If (god forbid) they don't, then it'll be a toss up between going for big countries games and possibly missing out altogether, or just going in for less popular venues. 

I don't know of anyone who had issues getting tickets for the games they wanted in SA.

Yeah we got tickets to everygame we applied to during phase 2 (after the draw was made).

If NZ qualfy then NZF gets an allocated to our games, so unlikely that you will miss out on those.

Take a look at the match schedule. http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/matchschedule.html

Teams are ranked so any team with 1 (i.e. A1 or B1) should be a decent team.

Fat chance of getting tickets to anything in rio though. Better off applying for somewhere that we are a chance at getting tickets and hoping to get a good game or 2 and perhaps a QF. 

No doubt getting AWs tickets would be easy, but don't really want to apply for AW tickets in phase 1 only to miss out if they don't qualify. On the other hand, if we get tickets in phase one to another group...and the all whites do qualify...

No notification but we have confirmed (through the stadium of all sources) that there is a two aisle White Noise zone.  It will be a couple of aisles further around from the Fever Zone.  The other side of the Players tunnel.

So far I've received emails from NZF with one code, my club with the same code, and the Phoenix with another code. No email from Ticketek yet, despite signing up to their waitlist.

If you signed up late as a Phoenix member and haven't got the code I reckon it's just because you didn't get added to the mailing list fast enough. Just email them and ask for it.

It's hardly a big secret. I'd post it here myself but I don't want to suffer the torrent of abuse from those who still believe they are getting some kind of advantage out of it.

Are yellow fever going to purchase a block of seats? Or just each to our own?

Every chance.

I am lead to believe the White Noise Zone will be clearly makred as standing and only adult tickets will be sold in there but as we've had no official contact with ticketek or anyone it's kind of hard to tell anything else.

   @Ticketek_NZ @YellowFever_NZ Can you please advise where in Westpac Stadium the White Noise Zone will be for #AllWhites WC qualifier. Thanks

2. Ticketek New Zealand ?@Ticketek_NZ 16m

   @termy_x @YellowFever_NZ Hold fire - we've just received a map and it is getting built now. Will send you the link as soon as possible.

1. terminator_x ?@termy_x 25m

   @Ticketek_NZ @YellowFever_NZ Please confirm that White Noise Zone for #AllWhites will be clearly marked as standing and adults only. Thanks

2. Ticketek New Zealand ?@Ticketek_NZ 2m

   @termy_x @YellowFever_NZ It will be a section you select when purchasing and will be advertised as standing & not suitable for children.

OK, so termy busted some balls down at Ticketek today and here's your map:

Silver would be the $40 ones? Sitting behind the goals isn't that bad tbh.

Email received from Nix this afternoon with a new code for priority booking. The start date appears to be the same as the NZF one though, so we're not really getting ahead of non season ticket holders 

I don't doubt ill be purchasing a white noise zone ticket, but if I miss the jump then ill be filling up 23 or 24 etc

This whole thing is irrelevant  if we get dicked 3-0 in the first leg.

Why is one end behind the goal silver, and the other end gold?

Gold end is the scoring end, silly.

What happened to the other pricing categories?

• Mint
  
• Choice
  
• Steal/score
  
• Wicked
  
• You wot?

had a bit of small talk with rikki Herbert yesterday . He reckons it might be panama in the playoff and is hoping it wont be mexico .but was not to worried as they are in a bit of a form slump anyway

Maybe he's recalling previous - his debut in All Whites 4-0 victory over Mexico @ Bill McKinley in 1980. Now wouldn't that be nice!!!!!
