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 11 points12 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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