Fancy a World Cup Ticket? Go Ahead and Sell your Spleen

   

How far would you go to secure a ticket to the World Cup? According to a survey conducted by Braun, 10 percent of men said they would sell an internal organ for a seat in Germany. With the exception of my liver, which would be useless on the open market anyway, I could probably be talked into this as well. Unfortunately I haven’t come across any companies offering such an exchange, but there are still four days before the first match and surely someone with a ticket could use my battered, yet functioning gall bladder.

A third of the men surveyed also said they would sell their partner’s shoes for a ticket, while nearly half said they would give up sex.

So let’s get this straight. These men would rather keep their partner’s shoes than have sex with them. Very interesting lives some people lead. Of course if you sold her shoes you probably would be sleeping on the couch anyway…

For those who aren’t so desperate, the ticket touts still are willing to sell you’re a spot in Germany for a steep price. You can thank Paraguay and other crooks for that.

    Is it just me or can anyone go online and get some tickets for matches at higher prices? I hope so because I just bought 8 of them for the USA v Ghana match on June 22nd.

    I’ve got an extra lung if you have a ticket to the final.

    They show finals tickets available, at stupid prices, but available non-the-less.

    Sure I would give up a jug of
    Munich lager if Luthansa or one
    of those German Airlines could fly me there for a $1 ticket.

    Look…

    OK! I would give up a toe to watch
    Calypso boys humiliate England live
    or Ivory Coast trash their next
    opponent.
