bea_7 you have made some excellant points....I was in Germany for the last WC and the fanzones were amazing....my mates and I quite often spent all afternoon and night in these zones, plenty of alcohol and food available, security were not to in your face which was great and generally speaking the crowds were well behaved a little drunk but in good spirits and not causing a scene. I know Qatar in their bid have allowed for fan zones but honestly I don't expect them to be half as good as Germany, and you'll be lucky to get 2 zones for the whole of Qatar.....and if they can't get a simple process right like this ticketing issue which happens time and time again them I'm sorry Qatar you don't deserve to hold it....and what a stupid comment from security " a ticket doesn't guareentee you entry"..that is exactly what a ticket does guarentee, does their stupidity know no bounds!
