VIP for a day at the World Cup

Sometimes good things do come to those who wait. Last week MamaMaus was offered comp VIP tickets for the World Cup match Saudi Arabia - Ukraine in Hamburg. We got free food and drink, the weather was comfortable (after a thunderstorm cooled things off just before kick-off), there were a lot of goals, and we had a good time.

The seats were good too, just behind the Ukraine bench. We were in the same row as Uwe Seeler, and we could see FIFA President Blatter a few rows below.

Priceless, as in no price listed, and may not be sold.

Football with champagne and hors d'oeuvres. And Budweiser. There were several levels of VIP as far as I could tell. We were at 2nd or 3rd level.

MamaMaus likes the kids as player escorts.
