just wanted to know if socawarriors.com is the "official" supporters group..are we recognized by the relevant authorities?..who going to get the chance to buy tickets allocated to Trinidad & Tobago for Germany?..are the local sponsors going to get a big share for promotions?..we going to be able to buy them cheaper from the TTFA?

i see we are available to buy tickets without our football asscociation on the official world cup site.

Ordering TST series

What is TST series?

A team-specific ticket (TST) enables you to watch a series of matches played by a team you choose in advance. If this team should fail to qualify for the competition (finals), you will be refunded the ticket price minus an administration fee. TST series are only available for countries that can still qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™.

You can select from five different TST types:
• TST-3: You see all three group games played by your team
• TST-4: You see all three group games and one match from the round of sixteen
• TST-5: As TST-3, but with one round of sixteen match and a quarter final
• TST-6: As TST-3, but with one round of sixteen match, a quarter final
and a semi-final
• TST-7: As TST-3, but with one round of sixteen match, a quarter final,
a semi-final and the final.

What happens to my TST if my team is knocked out during the tournament (finals)?

If you have a TST-4 to TST-7 ticket and your selected team doesn't make it past the group phase, the ticket is automatically transferred to the winner of the group in which your selected team originally played. If your team goes out at the knockout stage and your TST is still valid for subsequent games, the ticket is automatically transferred to the winner of the respective knockout match. In other words, you always follow the winner of the round. That means you will definitely see the specified number of matches, no matter when your own team goes out.

Cost of a ticket for all 3 matches in the group phase is bout $350 Euros with shipping and taxes...which is bout $2700TT or $430US.

I know is premature..but it might be worth it to book your tickets early and if the worse thing possible that could happen..happens..then you'll automatically get your refund for the tickets minus a 30 Euros processing fee.

I'll see what travel and visa requirements are needed and I'll post later.

I just wanted to share this useful info with allyuh fellas

good info feliziano, thanks. i dont think we are officially the supporters group tho. but for all this site has done for trinidad football, i think the authorities should treat us as one, when it comes to wc tix.

Just to let you know though if Trinidad dont go through you dont get a full refund, they take a 30 euro admin charge.
Basically its a scam as there are hundreds of thousands of people that bought TST tickets that will not be going and will lose 30 euros.
Ps Does anyone know whether the game on wednesady will be on the net ?

Each Member Association is entitled to commence ticket sales for both Fixed and Conditional tickets immediately upon confirmation of its qualification for the finals of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. Details of the tickets (price, category and number) made available by the Participating Member Association will be made available in due course by the Participating Member Association. The number of Participating Member Associations for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ will be 32. Contact details for each Participating Member Association may be found at www.FIFA.com.

If a Member Association’s team does not progress to all stages of the Second Round, the right to use Conditional Tickets for Second Round matches following the elimination of that Team will be lost and a refund will be provided.

They gave England 8000 tickets, I am sure TTFF will be able to handle all the local applications.

I wouldn't call it a scam, that is just the cost of doing the business.

FIFA makes a good change though because they have your money invested and making profit right through.

All of the $30 is not going to be profit becasue it cots money to process and provide security.

The way I see it an easily accessible WC could be a once in a lifetime thing and $30 is small compared to that, but I could understand if people feel differenlty.

so when our fa gonna make applications accessable? time runnin out

Feliziano · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2005, 07:00:51 PM »

each association is entitled to 8% of the tickets for whichever game they playing in..but they might recieve more after the draw is made..so if yuh check it..its 16% 'official' supporters and then the next 84% could be Germans, promotion winners and whoever happen to get hold of a ticket for the particular match...so in a 50,000 stadium..TTFA will get 4000 per game...which might be good enough..but remember they might give or sell some to sponsors like Carib,KFC and TSTT etc.

not sure where that fella get that 8000 for England.

ah never hear dis site get big up by any one that matters on a large scale im sure that we were mentioned now and again but to say official go be pushing it

fishs · « **Reply #14 on:** October 11, 2005, 02:43:56 AM »

Feli yuh right, is 8% of the tickets per team. I got the 8000 per game from a sksports report on Sunday (like dah reporter related to r mark).
Fifa trying to make sure that only tickets sold from approved sources will be honored (I eh know how dey go fix that).
Anyhow regardless of the venue and sponsors freebees, ttff should have enough for trinis who could afford.
Some of de english I working with order tickets months ago and even arrange to rent mobile homes to save on hotel

i think they going to try a thing by using passport numbers and various ID's..i see they put a cap on English supporters too...25,000..and they not taking any more members tilla fter the World Cup.
Renting an Rv and driving to germany ent such a bad idea noe that i thinking bout it...plus charging men some rent too lol

Feliziano · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2005, 02:17:54 PM »

if some of allyuh seriously interested in going Germany...now would be a good time to start organising yourselves..once we beat Bahrain..them tickets will be going fast.

lizzard1910 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2005, 02:24:38 AM »

the whole ticket procedure is a mess

i personally don't know anybody who was successful when he applied for tix.
most people pepare for watching the matches with thousands of others on giant screens in the cities.
anway, good luck for you guys with the tix!

superoli · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2005, 02:36:23 AM »

The entire ticket process has been a complete fiasco. About 15 of us applied for tickets and one person got a ticket. In addition in the second application phase it was first come first serve I sat down at 11.00am when it started along with others and tried for over 5 hours to get tickets and could not, yet the Germans on their website talked about how smooth it ran. What a load of shit !
In addition if you managed to get tickets for a team they debited the money straight away even though you were'nt sure your team was going until October ? Then if your team doesnt make it it takes 6 weeks to refund your money. If you think about how much money the German FA has sat on for months earning interest and then they have the nerve to charge 30 euros admin fee.
I went to France 98 and and euro 2004 and the ticket situation was no where as chaotic and they took the money off you when your team qualified.
Greman efficency........................what crap !

lizzard1910 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 18, 2005, 03:40:12 AM »

I agree that it's crap and I agree that German tend to make things more complicated than anybody else. Still I assume that this procedure has been figured out by FIFA

I was thinking of bussing it over to Germany as well...but ah fraid the traffic jam at the Turkish border during the summer.

Dk how much cheaper it is either..

Lets keep tabs on this and see if we can network for June.

I already resign myself to taking out a loan when we qualify.

I would actually spend that kinda money if i knew my 3-ticket package would include all the 1st round games that TnT will be playing in, which i am sure will be in 3 different stadiums, as opposed to them giving you 3 tix in one stadium.
I wonder if they would consider another level below Premier...

The head of the organization committee just announced that a webbased swap-market will be installed, in order to get tickets legally...Start will probably be 01 Feb 06. From what I heard it wii be possible to swap or buy tickets that way.
