    There are presumably thousands of Japanese fans looking to offload tickets to QF2. Anyone know where on the internet they may be found? Because it's certainly not on the english language Ticket Exchange Facebook page.

    Seemingly the scalpers are out on viagogo.

    Disgraceful carry-on.

    Lads on here waxed lyrical about An Solas.#


    ACE Sports Bar in Asakusa is a tiny little gem.

    I'd head up to the Stadium and soak up the craic tbh.

    I'd imagine some fans will put tickets back on the official resale platform .
    Others may try to swap tickets but that could be difficult with the language barrier.
    Could be alot of fake e-tickets in circulation too so people should be careful.

    Has anyone already brought tickets from the official resale site before and if so could you let me know if it's face value only, if the seller has bought physicals tickets can they be issued to purchaser in email instead?

    Its face value only yes and the resale site only issue e-tickets so if the original buyer bought paper tickets the new buyer gets e tickets.

    And the original buyer has to post the physical tickets back to get their refund.

    I had thought this would be the case.

    Trying to buy tickets for it but not looking promising at all.

    If you don't post back you'll get the refund after the match anyway.

    Heading out on Friday can't wait. Any advice on the weather conditions over there. What would a man need to be bringing clothing wise as it seems to be roasting at most of the matches?

    It has cooled somewhat

    Still low 20s in daytime but sunset by 6 and is cooler at night

    Need a light jacket or hoodie for night time basically

    Next week forecast for some rain but I just have cheap ponchos in case of need

    16 days, not 6 weeks.

    My SF2 tickets sold within four minutes of going live. It's not worth €20 in registered post to get my money a week or two early. I'll just wait.

    Anyone had any luck this world cup with trying to get tickets outside the stadium?

    My semifinal 2 tickets sold on the official re-sale site within minutes. Has anybody had any luck for semi 1 on official site within last few hours? People need to be careful now. Even printed official tickets, that look genuine, may have been cancelled? Very difficult to buy tickets legitimately outside the ground. Never mind all the home printed tickets.

    As with all other Irish fans heading out, I'll be looking for swaps if anyone hears of an opportunity (2x Cat C and 2x Cat D tickets - same end of ground).

    Apparently the Japanese love the All Blacks and/or have tickets to both Quarter Finals, so it may be more challenging than expected to do a trade.

    🤪

    There's barely a peep of any tickets online. Seems to be so many Irish people in the same boat that it's like every 2nd person has ones to sell or swap but all for Japan SA. Was hoping SA or Japanese fans would have some to swap but apparently not too many do.

    Going to have to take the chance on resale I think

    €603 for a Cat C, not including Viagogo's €130 or so fees!

    Not saying they are cheap but the thoughts of having flown half way around the world and not go to the match would stay with me for a long time!

    I’ve been refreshing g the resale site all day, with no joy! Caught a few games in the Yokohama fanzone a few weeks ago and it’s a pretty good set up, If all else fails! I’ll be going along to the Japan game either way, it’s going to be a serious spectacle!
