Every ticket is unique. Lost tickets can therefore be blocked for stadium access. Chips allow precise allocation of tickets to shipments. Every customer is guaranteed their seat in the stadium as the tickets are forge proof.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">What happens if I lose my ticket? What can the finder do with the chip? Can my ticket be misused?</span><br /> <br />No, never. Even if a finder would read out chip data they would be of no use. As no private data is stored, no access to the ticket database is possible.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">How and when do I get the tickets?</span><br /> <br />The tickets will be posted six to eight weeks before the start of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM), to the address (applicant's) provided by you.<br />Therefore please ensure that the 2006 FIFA World Cup (TM) Ticketing Center is kept up to date with your current delivery address.<br /><br />TST series for matches after the group stage will only be available at pick-up stations near the respective venues upon presentation of a certificate and proper identification. You will receive detailed information on this along with the delivery of your tickets for the group matches.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">How are TST Series delivered?</span><br /> <br />The tickets for the preliminary matches will be posted six to eight weeks prior to the start of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM). Tickets will be posted to the address indicated by the applicant. Please ensure that the 2006 FIFA World Cup (TM) Ticketing Center is always informed of your up-to-date delivery address.<br /><br />The tickets for the matches taking place after the round matches will be available, upon presentation of a certificate and an identity card or passport at Venue Ticketing Processing Centres (VTPCs) which are located close to each of the venues.<br /><br />Further information on this will be sent to you together with your tickets for the preliminary matches.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14804757-114504417644806851?l=www.fazfolio.com%2Ftravel%2Fworldcup%2Findex.htm'/></div>fazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765578769288559064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14804757.post-1141786227033698442006-03-07T21:47:00.000-05:002006-03-07T21:50:27.043-05:00lets watch some US gameshere are the friendlies coming up:<br />22-Mar-06 GER:USA <br />11-Apr-06 USA:JAM <br />12-Apr-06 USA:JAM<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14804757-114178622703369844?l=www.fazfolio.com%2Ftravel%2Fworldcup%2Findex.htm'/></div>fazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765578769288559064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14804757.post-1137698189951206842006-01-19T14:13:00.000-05:002006-01-19T14:16:29.963-05:003rd lotterySome highlights from the confirmation I got after entering the latest drawing for more tickets...<br /><br />"The allocation of tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM) for the third sales phase will take place on the 31 of January 2006. As the number of tickets offered does not cover the amount of applications received, the allocation will be based on a draw. At the beginning of February we will confirm per e-mail if you have been allocated tickets."<br /><br />The Customer Self Service area will be closed during the draw and the preparation period, as well as during the confirmation and payment period. Between the 22nd of January 2006 at 18:00 and the 13th of February 2006 at 9:00, you won’t be able to make any changes in your data."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14804757-113769818995120684?l=www.fazfolio.com%2Ftravel%2Fworldcup%2Findex.htm'/></div>fazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765578769288559064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14804757.post-1136233464594964172006-01-02T15:21:00.000-05:002006-01-02T15:29:45.850-05:00Yahoo! does trip planningTime will tell if this is a great tool or not.

Actually I had some really strong german beer yesterday; kicked my ass real good.<br /><br />Allen send me a couple of links today which made me think: we need to have a central spot to capture this stuff... and so the World Cup 2006 blog was born!<br />Please use this for the gathering & passive sharing of useful -- or completely useless -- facts about our trip. For now, I'm using my website's template. I'll change the look once I have a little more time.<br /><br />Folks, this blog won't write itself. So start your banter.<br />Cheers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14804757-112233078186043566?l=www.fazfolio.com%2Ftravel%2Fworldcup%2Findex.htm'/></div>fazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765578769288559064noreply@blogger.com1
