text: anyone went to 2006 worldcup game yet? did they check ticket id? i am trying to buy a worldcup ticket. i am just curious if anyone went to 2006 germany worldcup matches and know when you were entering stadium, if fifa checked the ticket id as they said they would. they said they need passport number and name on the ticket of a person who wish to enter. yes, the checked ticket id and matched it w/ a passport number... and this was for a game early on in the tournament - i'm sure they'll continue to check id, especially for the large matches.
