Arab Games Opening Ceremony
By ricky_2005 •
I bought tickets online from Virgin megastores website for the Opening Ceremony of the Arab Games .
Can someone advise the Number to call to collect the actual tickets or do they have a callcenter to check ?
I would seriously get to the stadium early!!! History indicates that the authorities will busload hundrds of labourers into the stadium for the usual reason and if you are not in your paid for seat by say 5pm then.................. deja vu!!!!! - Asian Cup Final!!! Remember, event management in Qatar is currently an art that eludes the authorities. I genuinely thought about buying tickets for the famly for the opening ceremony but you just KNOW its going to be farcical in its management - it always is and nothing has changed!! It'll look great on the television for sure but BEING THERE is going to be fraught with problems and it will ALL end in tears!!!
Don't expect a call from them.
I called them up this morning and the guy on phone asked me to bring the print outs of the online tickets and they'd give us the original tickets on the spot.
Call up this number and check for yourself.
Virgin Megastore Villagio mall
Villagio mall
Tel: +974 4413 5824
You will need to wait for an email, a phone call or text msg from the location to collect the ticket if they don't phone you till Wednesday, you can walk down and collect with the printed receipt.
On 7th (Wednesday) is the dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony. You should get the ticket by Wednesday as I predict.
All the best
I did select Villagio Virgin as pickup point ,so do i walk in on Thursday and collect the ticket ?
You should have selected the Pickup Location, while booking your ticket online. They have options of pickup from Virgin (Villaggio or Landmark) I bought this morning a gold ticket but moments later got a complementary ticket, what a shame though.
All the best anyway.
