[QUOTE="redmanpe, post: 794608, member: 73972"] This will be my 5th WC in a row, and I've never used an agency. Here are some tips: [LIST] [*]Sign up for ticket updates as soon as you can. [*]As soon as the schedule is announced, try and come up with a plan of what matches/cities you want to visit. [*]Book hotels (cancellable reservations, obviously) for cities where you want to see matches, way before you get tickets. Even double book if there are two matches in a day and you can't decide which you want. Hotel prices jump up but most will allow booking 12-18mths in advance before they've adjusted their rates! Even if you haven't got tickets yet, book hotels anyway! [*]Same with flights. As soon as you know your dates, 330 days before most flights go on sale so get those booked. If you're after saving money, but have the extra time, play around with routes and stopovers. Chances are, booking early, you'll get a decent option on a direct flight for a decent price [*]Apply for tickets for more matches than you want. If you get them all, great - you can always put some back on re-sale through the official websites. If you don't, you'll at least have some. I've never had issues getting tickets. I bought a ticket for Eng v Georgia in Dunedin the day before the match and the SF between NZ and SA I bought on the Thursday before. There is always availability. [/LIST] Good luck to all :D [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Accessible and fun, definitely, but I wouldn't say cheap! Everything there is so well organised and convenient though, and the people are some of the friendliest I've ever met! [/QUOTE]
