LucaAltieri Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Been using it in Argentina since I was there 4 years ago, seems daft that it hasn't been made universal. All of South America has used it for over a decade I think. In fairness, though, you ARE a bunch of cheating bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Going to book my flights today. Good idea. Got any tickets for the matches? Only just decided to do in the last week or so, so no, not yet but I'll be trying to get tickets for the following: Nigeria v Argentina, Estadio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre, 17:00 South Korea v Algeria, Estadio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre, 20:00 Winner Group G v Runner-up Group H, Estadio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre, 21:00 The plan is to fly into Sao Paulo on 18 June, so if I could somehow get a ticket for the England game that would be amazing. Then fly to Porto Alegre on 20 June to stay with a friend and his family for two weeks, including spending some time up at his small holding about 90 miles away. Then head up to Rio for the last week and then fly home the day after the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Did it cost considerably more than it usually would? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Did it cost considerably more than it usually would? I have no idea what the usual price is, flights cost me just over £1k. Still need to sort two internal flights and somewhere to stop in Rio for a few nights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 They reckon with what hotels are charging the only option available is to get locked up. Not sure i'd fancy that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 They reckon with what hotels are charging the only option available is to get locked up. Not sure i'd fancy that much. Thankfully I only need a hotel for a few days in Rio due to staying with friends when in Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre, also popping over to Ubatuba for a bit as I've got a friend there.

Rio is charging a fortune for hotels already. If anyone is looking for a much cheaper option but still possibly rather expensive contact me through PM for Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and I could try and help out.

You're staying there for the whole WC? You've got tickets? Not quite the whole WC, arrive a week in. No tickets yet. We shall see what we get out of the ballot but even without tickets it will be great to stay with friends we've not seen for a very long time and to explore the country.
