World Cup tix

Wondering if anyone has bought World Cup tickets through a third party broker. If so which one do you suggest. Seems like buying through ebay or scalpers it is a gamble because FIFA issues the tickets to a certain name and they must match your passport in order to get in.

They have always said in the past they would check id but in pratice when 60-70,000 people try and get in a stadium 30 minutes before kick off stuff like that goes out of the window. Which is why in the past and at this world cup you will see a lot more English fans at our games than the small allocation we have been given.

There is a risk of not getting in but the risk probably isnt as big as Fifa or even the German authorities are making out.
