This week Emma and I applied for the lottery of football world cup tickets. As Brazilian residents we are eligible for a separate category which is lovely and cheap but def the worst seats in the stadiums, above the goals and way up high! As both of us don't really know anything about football but would just love to go for the atmosphere, this is perfect. Whilst looking at the FIFA website and trying to figure it all out, I was rather surprised by some of the categories, one in particular. They have a special category for obese people. These tickets are currently in low demand....as opposed to all the others which are in high demand. I am sure that if we carry on hitting the brigadeiros the way we do, we could well be obese in time for June! But we then wondered if you needed a doctor's certificate to get in, or whether a cheeky pillow up the jumper would suffice? The tickets were no more expensive than others, but surely you'd get a more generous seat? I haven't seen many overweight Brazilians so do find this all rather baffling and hilarious!
We've only applied for the opening game, as it's in São Paulo and then we can leave the craziness that will be Brazil to visit some other South American countries. The chances of us getting tickets is low, but you gotta try. Some of our football mad friends have applied for so many games and have already told us how cross they will be if we get tickets and they don't! It would be so funny!
