I wasn't trying to order tickets to anything, but thank you, I needed to know this information - I am trying to order a jersey from a German soccer team, and they still won't accept credit cards. It's an extra $35 for an international bank transfer from Bank of America, and my entire order would have cost about $105 including shipping. But it's probably good that I don't have this soccer jersey.
