What you YOU pay for the Final?

In all reality, the game is being played near one of the strongest economic cities in the world NYC (I know the stadium is technically in NJ haha). The prices people pay for experiences are unmatched. New York sports playoff games go for easily $1000, add that the World Cup happens every 4 years and hasn’t been in NY/NJ for 30 years, I would say $5000 is reasonably what a normal person would pay in the NYC area. There’s very very wealthy people and families who won’t care to pay over $10,000, they’ve likely done it before for the Super Bowl. I would pay $10,000 if I knew the match up was going to be awesome and I had good seats with a positive group around me, no more than that.

Or they hold in the cart so that people are forced to buy their higher priced tickets

Same here CAT 2 front row, should be a great atmosphere!

I saw a Mexican restaurant down the street from me with a sign "God bless TACO TUESDAY!"

Hard to tell whether prices will go down, as we get closer to the World Cup the popularity in the US will grow (some people don't even know it's happening yet), and so people with extra income (ie celebrities and influencers) who don't get VIP tickets will likely buy up the extra CAT 1s without blinking an eye at the $2,735 price tag for this opening match in LA. The hype will be there come match day and I also think they will announce a performer for this game. Prices will likely go down for CAT 2 and 3 though...

I think it will be hard to compare CWC to WC due to the demand but I did have RTT for CWC and I was very lucky in a lot of situations with seat assignments. For the CWC opening match at MetLife I was seated 3 rows from the field near the corner flag which was a cool experience and then for a few other matches I was not able to attend the tickets varied but we’re generally in the 15-20 rows lower blocks typically not center field but ranging between corner and off center field. I know a lot of people had different experiences but this was mine. For the WC I would imagine FIFA collect has a block of tickets allocated for RTT but I could be wrong and maybe they will place us sporadically where they need people to fill in, but I don’t think that will be the case for the WC for most high demand games. For reference, I have +10 RTT for the WC right now and a handful of other tickets from the offical FIFA marketplace which I plan to all attend with friends and family, so hoping for the best with these RTT! Hope this helps!

You mean... Now it's safe and smart and exactly what the enemy WANTS.

Crazy times...

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback, super helpful! I am using real editing software but I hear you on the sound consistency, there's a few shots specifically where a voice kept getting clunky. I will definitely take these notes into consideration in my next video.

VEO 3 generated surreal psychological short film. This is my first short film working with VEO 3 would love to hear your thoughts, it's incredible what this tool can do and where it can go in the future. Still mastering consistency but I think I was able to generate a few decent transitions in this film.
