After confusion in Rio supporter withdraws tickets to the Maracanã and celebrates

Adezilton Lima managed nine entries for internet gaming in the city, four on the night of Tuesday. Weather in General Severiano, however, is of frustration                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Long queue, a few tickets and much frustration. This was the atmosphere that fans braved the morning of Wednesday in General Severiano, home of Botafogo, one of the points to purchase and removal of entries for the World Cup 2014. batch extra 180 thousand tickets available from Fifa on the night of Tuesday, about 160,000 had been sold until 6 am - three hours before the physical point of sale in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro start their activities. But not everyone who came along had reason to complain. The teacher Adezilton Cordeiro de Lima, for example, was only joy.

While many viewed the heat and came out empty-handed, he was removing the tickets could buy for the Maracanã. In total, there were nine entries for the Ecuador v France (3), Belgium v ​​Russia (2) and Argentina vs Bosnia (4) matches, valid the group stage. All the entries were purchased by internet, four on the night of Tuesday. These, however, were the ones that Adezilton still could not withdraw because they were bought in the name of his brother.

- Any match at Maracana for me it was a dream come true. Now I can see many star players on the field. I know that I am privileged. I do not know anybody else who has gotten tickets. I lucked out and bought everything online. On the first request ticket I got nothing. On Monday, those who bought withdrew today (Ecuador v France and Belgium v ​​Russia). Already last night (Tuesday), got four more to Argentina vs Bosnia. But I'll still pull these - emphasized the supporter of 29 years.

The routine of most fans who went to General Severiano was very different from Adezilton. Amid the lack of information, many hours were in line while tickets for major games had already exhausted in online sales - which started at midnight this Wednesday. The tour guide Alexandre Barbosa, who was first in line and arrived at 5am last Tuesday, left the site frustrated and even joked FIFA president Sepp Blatter .

Only those who had bought the ticket online and scheduled for removal is that this fourth had quick access to the headquarters of Botafogo. Around 10:30 (GMT), Fifa officials distributed a paper that indicated the availability of tickets remaining, causing even more frustration: there was only first round matches and most no great appeal.
