FIFA Stealing World Cup Tickets

By Jonny Blair


This might come as a shock to some, but then again not to others. With the world's biggest tournament, the football World Cup currently taking place during June and July 2014, everyone's eyes will be watching on cheering their respective teams. But even better than watching it on TV, is being there.

However sadly for some crazy football fans, corruption from FIFA has led to the deliberate theft of their own customers World Cup tickets. What's happening is FIFA staff are stealing World Cup tickets in the offices as soon as they have printed them.

1. FIFA claiming customers will get their tickets and they just need to wait (this was told on the phone to one customer just FOUR days before the match they had a ticket four, and two days before the flight.

They will wait until the customers contact them worried about the whereabouts of their tickets. For some, it was just a week before the World Cup when the fans started to get suspicious and ask "where are my tickets?".

3. FIFA refusing point blank to give their customers their seat numbers over the phone (the reason they hide this information is because they know full well that the tickets with those seats are already stolen and are being sold on the black market and they will have to be forced to give the customers an alternative seat number)

The most sought after tickets in the World Cup are for the Opening game, the Brazil v. Mexico game, the Spain v. Netherlands game and the Semi Finals and Final. FIFA staff make it their priority to find out which customers have ordered these tickets. Then instead of posting them to customers, FIFA print them, steal them and sell them on.

FIFA staff based in England, Switzerland and Italy have access to the databases of World Cup ticket holders. Some of these staff are responsible for printing and putting the tickets into envelopes for posting to customers have ben stealing these tickets. The tickets all have names on them and though FIFA claim that these people are the ones that have to go, that's another lie - anyone can use these tickets.

This site is the one blaming FIFA, I have a sister site blaming DHL as right now, nobody knows which of the two companies is to blame.

So to be in Brazil this June-July will be an experience never to be forgotten for football fans from all around the world, regardless of whether they have tickets for the games. It's really all about taking in the atmosphere.
