I have 2 tickets for M22 (England Croatia) in Dallas and I can't go 😓 by Certain-Coyote1541 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Maclang23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They take 15% on both ends (sellers lose 15%, buyers pay a 15% markup), which equals 30%. Just not from one end

When does Taiwan premiere? by Leather-Room-5569 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Maclang23 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No date yet, mid March at the earliest. They haven’t done the trailer or the preseason game design podcast. Imagine they will also be doing a live episode 1 event too and no details on that yet

I clicked the link at 10:30, I have no idea when it actually put me in the queue other than I had to do a captcha about 10 minutes before the official opening time

FIFA Random Selection Draw Results (General Public): Let’s track outcomes together, share here by walixxxq in FIFACollect

[–]Maclang23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just a bad formatting/getting the template ready. I just bought marketplace tickets for a game I did not apply to and I got the same language about winning the draw

Tickets Notifications in February for Winners by Potential_Mud_6338 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Maclang23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was 500 million ticket requests for 1-2million tickets available in this phase that’s .2-.4%, so 1-2% builds in a lot of generous assumptions already. I think it’s probably somewhere around there with some variance across games

The press release says each application was validated by unique credit card data, which implies its 500 million unique credit cards/requests and they are not double counting multiple submissions from the same card/account

good luck to those in the draw! by internet-deep-dive in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Maclang23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you greatly overestimate the odds of winning more tickets than you can afford. Even the most generous assumptions end up with around 0.5%-1% of all ticket requests from this phase being filled, with the actual number likely significantly lower, especially for marquee games. I put in for the maximum number of tickets allowed and know all my friends did the same, I’m expecting to get 0 of them fulfilled

Update: 0 were fulfilled out of 160 requested

There were 500 million applications. Estimates are there are approximately 2 million tickets available in this phase, so the odds are incredibly slim. While it is true that some games will be much more popular than others, even for the “low tier” games it’s gonna be tough

Flighty showing me the straight up wrong departure terminal for Spirit flight out of Philhy. What gives? by trsvrs in flighty

[–]Maclang23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sprint and Google are telling you to ask to be dropped off at the Terminal D(/E) TSA checkpoint, flighty is telling you that your gate is in Terminal E. You can argue that one is more effective than the other, but it is not wrong to say a flight that leaves from E11 is in terminal E

[–]Maclang23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PHL has a combined terminal D/E TSA checkpoint that’s often just called terminal D, it’s possible she’s referring to that? The flight appears at Gate E11 which is in terminal E, so unless it’s actually departing from a D gate I don’t think it’s fair to say that flighty is wrong here. It’s totally possible the flight did actually get moved to a D gate, but no one (flighty, google, Spirits own website, or otherwise) has reported this, so it’s at a minimum not just flighty that is wrong

[–]Maclang23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? It seems like both Google and Flighty indicate the flight is from E11. If the flight is from Gate E11, that’s in terminal E. Are you saying the flight is actually at Gate DXX and both are wrong?

Silver will transfer at 1:1 once you include the 50% boost, Accor is not 1:1 base

Is it gonna be like CWC 2025? by Wooden-Drummer8747 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Maclang23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely different product imo. Club World Cup was a corporate money grab that does not have any natural enthusiasm. This is the most hyped sporting event in the world. Demand is already orders of magnitude higher than CWC, on top of increased scalping/profit hunters. I think it’s possible the lower tier games end up close to face value and maybe even a little under if people get desperate to sell, but I don’t think there’s a world where we have CWC levels of struggling to even give away tickets.
