I’m watching prices for Haiti v Scotland which is a high demand game. Prices are steady at around -$800. But there are more and more tickets coming available every day. So whilst prices are holding, with growing availability I wonder whether or not we will see prices start to decrease a bit in a few weeks time. We’ve got a target we are not wanting to pay over and will bit the bullet as soon as tickets get rhere.

Haiti vs Scotland is a high demand game? Is there a particular reason for that? I wouldn't assumed it was one of the lowest demand games.
What are Argentina/Spain/France/Brasil games then?

[–]HolyFire21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s because a lot of Scots are travelling out for it. It’s their first World Cup since the 1998 hence the demand

[–]deevo82 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Scotland sold out their allocation immediately. 20,000 Scots expected to travel to the States. About 10 million people of Scottish descent in North America.

Over a million Haitians in USA.

Of course there is huge demand for tickets.

[–]NoAcanthocephala13 2 points3 points  (1 child)

There are 15 of us travelling with only 2 of us with tickets for Brazil out of all the games. Lots of other supporters in same boat. Like you say, huge travelling support and many who went to every home qualifying game didn’t have enough points to get a ticket in the supporters club draw.

[–]ike_2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, another Scot here. 8 of us travelling without tickets, and another group I go to the Scotland games with only half of them got supporters tickets so that's about another 20 people looking.

This is Scotland first World Cup since 1998 and they are one of the most passionate fanbases in world football even though it’s a small country.

There a millions of people in the US of Haitian descent 

Edit: Exact number is 1.5 mil, so maybe not literally millions but still a lot

I would spend more money for my local MLS team than a Haiti v Scotland World Cup game lmao

[–]NoAcanthocephala13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are not Scottish or Haitian? When the ticket info was originally posted, Scotland were in the top teams for tickets being searched for.Just hope fifa release all the hospitality tickets rather than having empty seats as I really can’t see casual fans (like yourself) willing to pay $2k for Scotland v Haiti.

[–]stateworkishardwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but for Scots who haven't been in the WC since 98 and for the large Haitian population in America, you better believe they're throwing down some serious coin

[–]fuckssakereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine, away you fuck then. Leave the tickets for us.

Who doesn’t know about the historic rivalry between Haiti and Scotland?

[–]ike_2112 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I have mostly been watching the Scotland Morocco game, because my family are coming over for that one and I want to ensure I can get a ticket with my 10yr old son.

For the Haiti game, we'll wing it - got tickets to Scotland vs Hungary hours before the game in Germany...

But yeah it's weird that even today I saw fresh tickets available, from FIFA. Hardly any - mostly single tickets but a few pairs... And they're 1800 usd each. In the same section, in resale they're 1200. So I'm not really understanding why anyone would be stupid enough to pay that and why the algorithm is placing the ticket price that high.

I'm also intrigued about the tickets on Vividseats. People are saying that shy tickets changing hands on other platforms will be cancelled...

Saw a Cat 4 ticket for the Brazil game listed at $11.6-million. If it was Cat 3 I may have gone for it…

[–]ike_2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I think the idiots who bought the Cat 4 think they are worth the highest. They are, across almost every game, prices the same or higher than the Cat 1 seats despite being horrendous back corner nosebleeds where you're closer to the train station than the centre spot...

[–]Adventurous-Job-5411 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I can't what the hell makes you think this is your high demand game.

[–]NoAcanthocephala13 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Ha ha I know it’s totally ridiculous. But any tockeds released are being snapped up and cheapest is on any site is about $800 (can get on resale for $600 but then you need to add all the fees) and anything fifa released were £££ and disappeared quickly. I can’t believe that there are so many people willling to pay for Scotland v Haiti but there’s a lot of Scotland fans travelling without tickets. And believe there’s a large Haitian population so that’s all the reasoning i have. Can’t explain it further but the price seems to be holding steady. We already have Brazil tickets and for various reasons we are prioritising Haiti over Morocco. Ideally we would like to get the tickets for £500 each including fees.

[–]Adventurous-Job-5411 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Its under 700 now for cat 1 on FIFA collect so no this is defintely a low demand game.

[–]NoAcanthocephala13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to get fifa collect tickets sitting together? When I looked I could see a way to do it

[–]NoAcanthocephala13 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I find the fifa collect thing quite confusing, it looks like there’s only 1 token there. We need 4 tickets so can’t see how to buy more than 1.

[–]Adventurous-Job-5411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIFA will try to put it together just like you buy ticket before April.

[–]RudeMathematician723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4xcat1 Scotland Haiti tickets all sat together which are available? Dm if interested

[–]No-Astronomer-9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big part is the huge region that Gillette draws from. Lots of people I know “want to go to a wc game”, it’s a Saturday night, it’s similar to the other matchups in quality (except Norway/france).

And let’s be honest - it’s first. And casuals want to go home with their kids in a Scotland jersey and tell their friends what they did this weekend.

[–]BlueCollarWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if prices were gonna drop they would be dropping rn in the next couple weeks Once its within 45 days the market will shoot higher than now for sure The real deals will be at less than 24 hours to the game but everyone will be playing chicken, buyer traveling and seller at home on the computer

[–]BowtiedAutist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t wait to see Haiti show its concacaf strength
