FIFA 2010 Phase 1 Tickets Application

I don't remember who it was, but somebody mentioned that they had to pay via bank transfer? I eventually got the "pay for these" tab, but the problem was (as suspected) that I was using a VISA debit card... I went for the pay via bank transfer option, but the screen that is supposed to give the bank details came out blank!

Oh no!!!

edit: It was in the other thread on here - my bad.

Email from FIFA last night. 2nd phase excludes Semi & the Final. Not sure who's doing their currency converting, but I do wish it was 7:1 against the dollar!

2nd Ticketing Phase for 2010 FIFA WorldTM Cup starts on 4 May

Be quick and you should be lucky! The 2nd Ticketing Phase for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM will start on Monday, 4 May 2009, at Noon (SA Time). There will be approximately 100,000 tickets made available for this phase, excluding the two Semi-Finals and the Final (matches 61, 62 and 64). From now on, the tickets will be allocated on a “first come, first serve” basis. Applications can be made at FNB branches or via the FIFA website (www.fifa.com).

For South African football fans who wish to apply at FNB Branches, they should bring a valid form of identification. South Africans need to show their ID, while a passport will be required for foreigners. Applicants that wish to make applications for friends or family should have the details of those persons incl. identity numbers, names, dates of birth and nationality ready. Each applicant can apply for up to 4 tickets per match and up to 7 matches in total. Ticket prices start at 20 USD (140 ZAR). Within ten working days you will be notified, if your application is successful (fully or partly) or not.

Tickets will be ready for collection at FIFA Venue Ticketing Centres from May 2010.

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests to the 2010 FIFA World CuptmTM South Africa and hope you enjoy the experience.

Yours sincerely
2010 FIFA World Cup™ Ticketing Centre

Jsut tried applying - servers crashed 2 minutes after the application process went live.

Completely useless website by the way.

I am logged it and I have to log in again to apply for tickets, which is when the server crashes
 
Is it definitely a problem on their side? I'm always scared that it is some stupid SA web problem.
 
So what if I book tickets for me and 3 friends (ID numbers given) and by that stage someone else wants to go with me?

I think that you can change the application to request another ticket.

Not 100% sure though
 
This is really frustrating. By the time I get to book tickets all 100 000 will be sold out. Has anyone got it right yet to book?
 
I'm still waiting for them to clear up some stuff about my payments for my 1st phase tickets...

i.e. Whether I can pay by internet banking, and how will I collect tickets as I'm not using a payment card...
