Having Trouble Getting World Cup Tickets?…

…You’re not the only one.

Tickets are harder to come by than some priceless gems. In Australia, fans crashed an online site selling tickets to the Socceroos games. In England, tickets for the opening game against Paraguay are going for 1600% above face value. And teams from Africa will use their entire ticket allocations.

Nothing beats being in a stadium watching history happen, but the real question is how much are you willing to pay for this experience? Is it worth it to pay more than 500 pounds to see England play Paraguay when you can watch it for free on the telly?

We’ll get the answers to these questions this summer as we see to what lengths and at what costs people will go to be a part of World Cup 2006.
