Where do I get my ticket from?

Tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ can be purchased by members of the general public from two primary sources. Firstly, the 2006 FIFA World Cup Ticketing Center (FWCTC), based in Frankfurt, Germany, which operates as the principal seller of tickets to the general public worldwide. For an overview of the manner in which the FWCTC will sell tickets, including details of sales phases, prices and sales conditions, please refer to the details outlined below under "Ticket Overview - FWCTC Sales". In addition to the tickets offered for sale to the general public by the FWCTC, there is another potential source of general public tickets. For those who are unsuccessful in acquiring tickets from the FWCTC, FIFA has allocated to each of those of its Member Associations whose teams have qualified to participate in final competition of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ (“Participating Member Associations”) a number of tickets for their matches which may be sold to the general public. Details of the Participating Member Association general public ticket sales activities are outlined below under the question "How will Participating Member Association Ticket Sales Work?”
