    What a load of rubbish that is. Off to World Cup with people who have been to other touraments and they say this every time but never happened.

    Anyone on here have tickets for any of the England matches?

    Got tickets for Trinidad and have got one for the final too.

    As mentioned, inspections have been mentioned happening in previous world cups BUT it's more likely to happen this year. They do have procedures put in place for this to happen, but will take time.

    Got any spares? Let me know </p>

    If he's got them via the FIFA site he can do a name change on the self service portal.</p>

    Always going to be able to get the tickets from touts, etc but not sure if it is worth the risk this year...... Paying £400 + for a ticket and getting knocked back at the turnstiles!!!

    Well in Portugal..

    There were loads floating about in Portugal and I reckon there will be plenty in Germany.</p>

    The German FA have invested a lot of money in being able to check IDs at all the stadia (to the the point where FIFA have criticised them over this). There will be some checking of names v tickets. I can't see FIFA being very happy if there are half empty stadia because people are getting turned away because the ticket they have bears someone elses name... </p>

    It's a gamble that I'm going to take wherever i haven't got tickets. </p>

    From what I understood, you will be security checked at the games and it may be a long process, therefore if you turn up at the first check point (security) 10 minutes before kick off you may well miss the game. The Police and security are recommending 3 hours before, inside this security zoe will be bars, food and entertainment so you do not need to go inside the ground straight away. I got the impression the peak activity would be between 1-2 hours before the game starts.

    Also you have to carry your passport at all times, especially for security checks so it is recommended to take a photocopy and keep it locked safe in your room.
