The second sales period for 2006 FIFA World Cup™ match tickets has now commenced. Tickets will be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis, i.e. applications will be processed in the order they are received. The second period features exclusively TST (Team Specific Ticket) series, available to order through the official FIFA website, www.FIFAworldcup.com. A total of 147,000 TST series initially went on sale in the first period from 1 February to 31 March 2005. This form of ticket is already sold out for the following nations: Germany, Argentina, Brazil, England, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the USA. The second sales period ends when all TST series tickets have been taken up, or on 15 November at the latest. Team tickets ordered and confirmed as reserved by the OC only become binding if the team in question successfully qualifies for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. With worldwide qualifying still in progress, the possibility remains that a favourite team might not qualify. In this case, the reservation will be cancelled and the applicant will receive a refund minus a processing fee. Team series holders can follow their favourite team for a specified number of matches, dependent upon results in the tournament. TST 3 covers all three group matches, TST 4 includes the round of sixteen, TST 5 the quarter-finals, TST 6 the semi-finals, and TST 7 represents the very best case, covering every game including the Final. TST series are sold in three price categories. The invoice total comprises the sum of all the individual match tickets plus a processing fee. If the selected team fails to survive the group stage, the ticket is automatically transferred to the group winner. Should the team be knocked out at a later stage and the TST series remains valid for subsequent rounds, the ticket transfers to the nation which eliminated the selected team. Up to four TST series may be ordered per household. However, applicants allocated individual tickets in the first sales period are not permitted to apply for TST series, as the terms and conditions only permit applications for one form of ticket. The third sales period begins in December 2005 when up to 300,000 individual tickets will be released for sale.
