Fuck! Did anyone else get lucky? Looks like I'll be waiting for the next round of tickets to be released to try my luck... or for tickets to fall from the sky... I wonder which gives me better odds ;-)

The e-mail bearer of bad news:

"Dear Mr. Jason Rossiter,

Due to the high demand for tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM), the ticket applications correctly processed and accepted had to be entered into a draw.

Unfortunately, you have not been allocated any tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (TM). You may of course reapply for tickets in one of the subsequent sales phases.

Kind regards,

Your 2006 FIFA World Cup (TM) Ticketing Center"

Screw you FIFA World Cup Ticketing Center, I never really loved you anyways!!
