Will I get tickets to Australia’s games?
The FFA allocation (8% of each stadium) via the FIFA Ticket Ballot (Sales Phase 2- Random Selection Draw) met the needs of all Socceroos fans in 2010 & 2014. In fact, in 2010 and 2014, the FFA allocation was not exhausted and a surplus was handed back for last minute public sales. This is why we can offer our Match Ticket Guarantee. At 2014 Brazil over 500 Australians travelled with us, and not one person missed out on a ticket to any of Australia’s games. In the unlikely situation that you aren’t successful in obtaining tickets in the FIFA ballot, then we will help you to obtain tickets in the following ways:
- We will operate a Ticket Exchange Platform for 2018 Russia connecting guests who have excess tickets for some games with guests who require tickets for those games. We operated a Ticket Exchange Platform for 2014 Brazil which was very successful
- If you still haven’t obtained tickets, we will introduce you to ticket sources within our network.

We have operated tours to the past 2 World Cups and we have never had a guest miss out securing tickets. The vast majority of tickets will be available to Australian fans during Sales Phase 2, which commences after the final draw on 5 December 2017. We are so confident that our tour guests will obtain tickets that we are offering this exclusive Match Ticket Guarantee for guests who book their Green & Gold Army package by 31 December 2017:
If you fail to obtain tickets via the FIFA Ballot to at least two Socceroos Group Stage fixtures and the GGArmy is not able to source tickets for you through our Buy, Swap & Sell Platform by no later than 31 March 2018, then we will refund the ground portion of your Green & Gold Army Package in full if you choose not to travel.*
