2006 World Cup Ticket pre-sales...
A little heads up how the ticketing is going to happen for 2006 GermanyQuote:
ussoccerfan.com member -
As a valued member of the U.S. Soccer family, we are pleased to offer you the advanced opportunity to purchase tickets to the U.S. Men's National Team matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany this June. Although this exclusive ussoccerfan.com pre-sale will not begin until Monday, December 12 at 12 noon CT, we would like to provide some insight to this much anticipated event.
Ticket Order Process
- FIFA will allocate 8% of their ticket allotment for each U.S. match to U.S. Soccer. U.S. Soccer will only be allocated, and make available for sale, tickets for matches in which the U.S. will compete. Information on how to purchase tickets for non-U.S. matches can be found on the FIFA website at www.fifaworldcup.com.
- On Monday, December 12, 2005 at 12 noon CT, a PDF version of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Ticket Order Form will be sent directly to your registered e-mail address. This e-mail will also include an exclusive one-time-only password to be used on the order form confirming your status as an ussoccerfan.com member. Only one order will be processed per password. The password you provide on the order form must match the corresponding e-mail address on record with U.S. Soccer to be processed. We will "freeze" our member list on November 20 to allow us to process the member list and prepare the mailing.
- Properly completed order forms with appropriate methods of payment, valid U.S. Passport Numbers, and/or U.S. mailing address will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. U.S. Soccer recommends submitting your order via a method with delivery confirmation (i.e. fax, DHL, Certified Mail, FedEx, etc.). Due to the anticipated amount of orders, U.S. Soccer will not be able to give immediate confirmation of receipt, however, confirmation will be sent to this e-mail address within two (2) business days of receipt at U.S. Soccer.
- The pre-sale will end on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, at 5 p.m. CT. Any tickets still available after the private pre-sale will be made available to the general public on Friday, January 6, 2006, at 9 a.m. CT. All ticket orders are subject to U.S. Soccer and FIFA's Terms and Conditions and members with order forms that cannot be filled (i.e. insufficient information, payment issues, etc.) will be notified before tickets are released to the public. Orders received after the U.S. Soccer allotment is sold will be placed on a waiting list with U.S. Soccer until all preceding orders are confirmed.
Ticket Prices
FIFA, in conjunction with the German Organizing Committee, has set the following ticket prices. Each ticket price is displayed in Euros and includes an additional 10% handling charge.

When planning your order, please keep in mind the following ticket guidelines that have been set and will be enforced by FIFA and U.S. Soccer:

- The maximum order quantity per household for tickets in price category IV is two (2) tickets for up to three (3) U.S. matches.
Ticket Order Payment
MASTERCARD and VISA credit or debit cards with expiration dates after January 2006 will be the only accepted methods of payment. Payments will be processed in Euros and are subject to applicable fees. Billing and delivery addresses must be identical in order for payment to be processed. If the U.S. does not advance to a match requiring Conditional tickets, refunds will be applied to the same credit or debit card, less a handling fee of five (5) Euros.
Ticket Delivery
