Why do sponsors get so many world cup tickets?

Because the World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime event to see.  They only have it once every four years and it probably won't be in your country but once in your lifetime.  The passion and intensity is something that is rarely seen in all of sports (except the Olympics) and to see the amount of pride that the players take in their respective nations is astounding.  If only us Americans appreciated soccer more instead of sports like the thuggish NBA or "put me to sleep" MLB that we watch.

Other than the trophy, every member of the squad and coaching staff get medals.\n\nFIFA also award money to the teams who participate in the World Cup. The further you get the more money you receive, with obviously the winner getting the most.

Well, to through a light. Adidas is the main sponsor for FIFA world cup, but all the players form different coutnry have their own logos' such as PUMA, NIke, etc. AMbush Marketing?

I've been to two Wolrd Cup Finals ('94 and '02) so, as far as tickets, they usually sell them through FIFA's site from Feb. the year before. You won't know which teams are playing where but we were able to get all matches in Miyagi that way and later on at further selling points throughout the year snagged tix. It's also fairly easy to buy off scalpers and this whole "name printed on the ticket" is not checked at all. \n\nI was not checked once in Japan or Korea in '02 and a good friend of mine in Germany right now said he bought a tix for swiss-Korea off a scalper at face value and got in. Of course, it had another person's name on it.\n\nIf you are serious about going, e-mail me and I can tell you much more.

It seemed to me like it was nothing but hot air once again from FIFA. They messed up the allocation as well. Apparantly a figure of around 10% per game is all the actual supporting fans of their respective teams allocation while the rest of the tickets have all gone to corporate sponsors and German nationals.\nThe idea of having personal information and proof on each ticket was an attempt to cut out the black market trade in the tickets but they are not enforcing the idea at all making the whole thing look like a joke. Well done FIFA!

Sponsorship in sports affect our livestyle greatly as we often buy products from the companies sponsoring our favourite sports team. \n\nE.g. for me, I support Arsenal so whenever I want to buy handphones, I would buy the mobile phone sponsor supporting Arsenal-02. \n\nFor many people supporting say Man U, they would buy vodafone handphones instead of O2. Hence all these sponsors advertising on the sports stadiums or jersies of sports team can influence fans to buy and use their goods whether they are good and hence play a vital role in our lifestyle.

This is a FIFA promotion that allows children to meet the stars of the World Cup.\nThe Children had to enter a competition and the best were chosen. They are only allowed to meet a team once.\nI think it's a great way to get young children involved with the sport

www.fifaworldcup.com  -go to-Tickets -to- Ticket Shop-Order tickets Now- Single tickets. This is supposed to be the only place to officially purchase World Cup tickets, besides from national teams that were allocated tickets, which the US is sold out already. Ebay is selling tickets but there is always the possibility that the seller does not have tickets. Prices are going anywhere from 3 up to 10 times their original price. If you don't mind spending a lot of money on tickets there is ticket availability on the website :\nhttp://www.premium-football.com/en/en_index.htm\nThese are premium hospitality tickets but you will pay around $1200 to $2700 for a single ticket. You can find this at the fifa website, too. A lot of diferent websites offer World Cup tickets 3 to 5 times the value but again there is no certainty they have the tickets. Also, I learned through online searches if you have tickets and are interested in trading with other ticket holders this may be worth checking out. swapscout@ticketswapshop.com Good luck!

Good question, but easy answere. The clubs get huge amounts of money every day from people buying the replica kits, people buying tickets, and any official merchandice of the club. Sponsers also pay the club for advertising agreements. Football clubs get loads of money from such companies and Sky Sports and FIFA PS2 Games, FIFA has to pay each club to use there name if it is copyrighted and it is very rare to find a club whos name is copyrighted these days. Heehee. =)

The World Cup is the largest sporting event besides the Olympics, where 32 nations compete in the game of football (soccer according to Americans) in order to determine the world cup champion.

They usually have tickets set aside for people specifically from certain countries. PLus I heard they have lots of tickets left so u should be in luck. Also look for games that will not be in the main venue. Most of those have been sold already. U can go online to get ticks but hurry some people are starting to buy tics for any match now not just for their teams.

they are organised by different ppl ... so they don't care if it's on the same date as anything else.\n\nMy Advice - Watch the World Cup since it happens once in four yrs, wheras Wimbeldon happens every year!
