So tickets go on sale february first. By the looks of it you can’t select what teams you want to see yet (the schedule is up, but all the matches are like team x vs team y and winner of team x and y vs winner of team d and team w and such). I realize that qualifying is still going on but how come when england and france plays they always have alot of people in the crowd when tickets go on sale before the teams and pools are announced? Do these people all get scalped tickets or what?

Also, it appears this year the tickets are non transferable, as they have some sort of computer chip or barcode that they scan that has your name encoded on it. Anyone know if I can get like 4 tickets all with my name and bring friends. I want to go but I don’t know who else of my friends want to, do I need to give the names of everyone willing to attend when I buy, or can I just buy like "chucko fantastico party of 4" or whatnot.

The website regarding the matter is shit. Help anyone?
