I got some good news in my email last week, and I forgot to tell you guys:
In the lottery for World Cup 2006 tickets, I got an allocation!
So S and I have two tickets (100 Euros each) to the June 22nd game between the U.S. and Ghana, in Nuremberg.
I think I got pretty lucky - according to this press release, 300,000 tickets were available. 677,900 applicants requested 6,000,000 tickets in total. So the demand was twenty times the supply! Even if each applicant had requested only 1 ticket, an applicant had only a 44.25% chance of getting an allocation.
So like I said, I got lucky!
The next sales phase, which is "first come, first served" unlike the last one, a lottery, begins on February 15, so fire up your MasterCards and Internet browsers so you guys can meet us in Nuremberg!
