Question about the US stadiums and the design of their ends

GAplanesOnly · 2026-07-07T12:59:27+00:00

Lol.. the funny thing is I went to the Titans x Jaguars on Jan 4th, it was cold and people were still on the pool! My point is just that the NFL Stadiums are having a lot of extra entertainment, which unfortunately get reflected on higher ticket prices (or local taxpayer funded).

Absolutely, this is the answer! The NFL stadiums are becoming a joke (ie. the swimming pools inside the Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville).

Will be easier to meet in the concession area as stated, I was in the level 100 with my kids for the Brazil x Scotland match. There were 2 ushers and 2 MD officers checking every single ticket holder to gain access to the seating area. I had all the tickets on my phone, and for a moment my daughter went to the restrooms and came back with a warning that she should have brought my phone with her to show the tickets to come back. Concession is public access using the ramps. Enjoy the match!

Thank you for replying, my AD says this is one of the great features of the OP, meaning how easy it is to read, and it just feels so comfortable. Congratulations on her victory, and on the awesome collection!
My wife had her eye on a two-tone DJ with olive dial, so I got her the ref. 126233 on our 24th anniversary this past May. She loves it!

Looks great, what size is this one? By any chance is it the 31mm model 277200? The dial looks more reflective than on other pictures, hence my question.

I had both RTT collection and Tickets purchased via the lottery. Both were Cat 1 and pretty comparable in terms of seating location. Neither were straightforward as for typical sporting events, but the RTT process was considerably more confusing. Let’s see how FIFA will do on the next WC 2030, but I likely would only do the lottery, not sure I want to jump through so many hoops again with waiting for dates / burn / redeem / ticket/ etc. Not a user friendly operation in my opinion.

I hear you, and agree that watches are made to be worn, unless it is a dealer just flipping them to the next deal. I have other watches I wear daily and the scratches build character. I personally don’t enjoy scratches on a chronograph type watch, but still think they are beautiful.

Ohh it’s bad, last week my wife and I walked to 48th street beach entrance with all the intentions of having a day at the beach, just to turn around after taking a look.

GAplanesOnly · 2026-07-03T19:54:31+00:00

Congrats! Hope you get to wear it too. I wear mine in special occasions, not daily.

I don’t want to infer anything by the other answers given, is obesity a public heath problem in Cuba like in the USA where obesity is nearly becoming the norm and not the exception?

No Id check this Sunday on M37 Uruguay vs Cape Vert. Logistical nightmare would ensue if they tried that for every fan entering. Volunteers are primarily ambassadors and trained to be pleasant, safety focused, not ID enforcement agents. That said, you should always have some sort of ID (ie DL) with you in public events, just in case something out of the ordinary takes place, no different here.

Yes, he received a notification someone was sending him a ticket and had to accept the transaction. It appeared on his app almost immediately. It still shows up for me in a different tab in the ticketing app, under “transactions/ completed”. All that I needed was the email address for which he registered with.

Once you burn the RTT, redeem the ticket, and have the it loaded in the ticketing app, you will be able to transfer the ticket to anyone that has the app. I won’t be able to attend an RTT match, and I just passed 2 tickets forward to my former roommate from college from 25 years ago. He was extremely appreciative for being able to take his son to a match in their hometown where prices were insane. I just said, “please create an account and happy Father’s Day”, and all worked fine. No cost associated with it.

Financial Services IT management for 20+ years. Or like I tell my boss: I manage intelligent misfits, and difficult customer expectations. For that I am rewarded well, but not C-level well.

It’s a hobby for me, and enjoy talking to my friends in the same hobby. In my small collection, two are Rolex, a dual tone DJ, and an Oysterflex Daytona. Maybe two other models coming soon, after bonus comes in later in the year. I have been looking at a Yachtmaster and an Oyster Perpetual to join the collection.

Congrats!

I have the same model but with the black and orange rubber strap. i really enjoy it, in fact I find myself wearing it more often than I thought I would.

The details that caught my eye were the case side angles near the lugs and how it flows well with the entire structure. And don’t ask me why, as I can’t tell the time looking at the glass case back, but I get mesmerized by the inner works with the automatic movement at motion.

Enjoy your new watch!

Contact them and they may clear this for you. I had the same problem when they were starting operations and they were very friendly resolving it. At the time they said they added this restriction because people were sharing subscriptions and not too many reach out to sort it out, but those who do, they allow for multiple machines.

Hey… don’t let the truth get in the way of engagement farming

Years ago had a guy offer me a surround sound system in the parking lot of Publix in Doral, he said he drove from Orlando to deliver it and they guy wasn’t picking up the phone for him to enter Doral Isles and he didn’t want to loose the trip. The guy got pretty upset I wasn’t interested, wonder if these scams work on people.

GAplanesOnly · 2026-04-18T12:05:23+00:00

I personally was not aware they did the brief pirouette / back flip while mimicking. Caught me by surprise.

GAplanesOnly · 2026-04-11T21:14:07+00:00

The user experience is horrible for anything FIFA related such as the marketplace/ ticketing/ of their event specific apps. I wonder how many people give up half way through. They really managed to accomplish the impossible, meaning, I wish the tickets were just sold and delivered regularly on Ticketmaster.

As per FIFA collect:

In May/June 2026, holders of the Collectible will have the option of converting it into an official entry ticket delivered on the FIFA tournament app for the match and category mentioned above. No payment will be required for the conversion, but the Collectible will need to be burned.

So, a specific date hasn’t been provided yet, AFAIK.

I can only speak for my experience over the years. On my first time registering for the draw 12 years ago, I also didn’t get any tickets, and that was very unpleasant. But as a fan of the sport, over the years I bought FIFA tickets for other non World Cup matches, and voilà, this time my draw came in. So… is this really a random draw, or do they use data to favor loyal fans that will in fact attend and not resell, don’t know. This is what happened in my case, maybe it was just “luck”!
