Oooof I was way more successful than I ever thought I would be. All 3 Canada games, 2 England games, and semi-final 102. Credit card is going to get absolutely battered on Monday. Was hoping I'd get one, would have been thrilled with two. Six is a disaster, hahaha. Hopefully resale isn't complete garbage but not confident in that.

Oooh. Jealous about the England games. Struck out on all the random selection draw games that I had bid for.

Can’t complain though as I’ll be going to the Canada games! I wonder when we will get to know our seat assignments. Hopefully Canada goes a couple of rounds deep into the knockout stage. Will definitely be there if they do

Croatia-England in Dallas which I’m over the moon with. Already get chills thinking about it. Two great sides and Croatia support is unbelievable.

Panama-England in New Jersey.

So you guys getting all these tickets are the reason I haven't gotten a successful email from FIFA. Good for you guys! I can't complain, I got a Voyageurs ticket for the Canada vs Qatar match

I think I did Category 2 for all the tickets we got.

Figured 3 and 4 could be really hard to get as the volume seemed more limited and figured it's where most people would try.

Applied for category 2 with downgrade option and all six ended up as category 2.

You guys are so lucky, and will have a great time.
And you'll be mostly in Domes! So envious.

Still no rejection email on my end. The wife got hers so maybe I may still get lucky on the random draw

Nice work! I think you will be able to profit wildly simply by selling your semi-final tickets.

I got Canada - Qatar, Canada - Switzerland and Round of 16 game all at BC Place. I am thrilled. My parents didn't go to any Olympic events in 88, I was too poor to do anything during the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. Finally able to take in a world class sporting event in the city I live in.

And rejected! So now we need to decide do we make a trip to Dallas or just splurge on Canada Switzerland while we are in Vancouver already.
