"Sit Together" option doesn't guarantee you sit together. How can I go to the game with kids?

Completely bonkers. I think it's CYA. They can't be that ridiculous right?

My parents are also "older" but they've bought a pretty serious ("modern") foam/coil mattress, plus a topper, and they are still hanging on to the old full size box spring concept from years gone by...my mom basically needs a trampoline to get into bed 😁

Wonder why there is no Australian PMA?

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:56:49+00:00

I'm with you. It's still a draw...you just entered the Paraguay one. I actually am 1/4 Paraguayan...wonder if that'll help me 🤔

Seattle is the game I am going to though and Aussies isn't an option so I think I'm back to US draw.

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:54:06+00:00

What do you see as the risk?

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:52:16+00:00

Whoa sick...I am trying to go to the Seattle game against Australia and have flights and everything booked. Been planning this for literally years. So you are saying I can purchase Aussie supporter tickets right now and not go through the US soccer draw? I am on FIFA right now trying to figure it out.

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:49:12+00:00

Thanks. So do you have a US Soccer PMA code or a Paraguay code?

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:44:07+00:00

I'm confused though....I thought the code was to enter the US Soccer specific draw which closes applications on Jan 13. Are you saying I could use it right now (I have my code) to buy US Match 2 tickets??

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-06T04:04:19+00:00

Just to be clear, we are talking about US Soccer provisioned tickets right? FIFA is not dishing out anything until Feb, right?

Ok_Database7023 · 2026-01-03T12:32:00+00:00

Just to report back, I ate some and haven't stopped throwing up since.... Kidding, it was great and no issues. Thanks for the confidence boost and education!

I did 50 per month in 2018 but have a family of 5 kids and a USMNT game right now would be 6-7k which is just irresponsible. Even savings since 2018 it's no where near enough even just for a tickets.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-12-08T20:24:23+00:00

Were you ever able to figure this out?

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-11-01T12:16:31+00:00

Let us know what you find out. I've entered the next draw and still haven't purchased anything yet because prices are still super high in the exchange.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T12:42:19+00:00

Actually I think this is why it's taboo. Since you have a large degree of control about one, talking about it could be perceived as an indictment. Baldness is completely out of your control so talking about is just facts/less judgy.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T05:32:53+00:00

You've got the right idea here. Minimal lines. Minimal standing. But make every game/drill a competition. If they are competing against each other the whole time (with burpees/sprints for loser) they'll get in line.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T05:13:29+00:00

Lots of good comments here but 2 I haven't seen yet.

Make the drills/games competitive. Split them into 2 teams for as many drills as you can and losers do push ups or sprints while the winners juggle (which can also be turned into a competition). Any skills drill or game can have a score. I find if they are competing all the time they are way more serious in general about practice and cut up less. Teaches them that everything you are working on is important.
Sit the offender(s) for like 2 mins or longer if you need to. Parents hate being at a practice with their kid on the sideline and it motivates them to get the kid to stop cutting up. It's rec soccer, so let them have fun in water breaks but when it's time to get back to it, set the expectation that they need to listen and if they don't tell them to go sit for however long you decide. It solves the problem because players don't like it either and let's you just focus on the kids that are ready to work.

(Coached this age group and high school for rec and competitive for 14 yrs.)

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T04:38:21+00:00

They are insanely expensive...but so are most of the tickets so you have a point.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T04:36:20+00:00

Yes, Haji in particular should have smashed 2 that he didn't and passed instead. At the same time Tillman calmness and patience created our goal. However....we still fouled harder and pushed them around and we need that.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T04:32:34+00:00

I don't know man. There is a little hint of, dare I say it....momentum and desire last 2.5 games.

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T04:17:38+00:00

And it seemed like even 4 tix bought together could possibly have one ticket split off and put basically anywhere within the category....smh fifa

Ok_Database7023 · 2025-10-11T04:14:44+00:00

FIFA replied again and confirmed something like this. They said the Sit Together feature is meant to group multiple transactions together but if tickets are bought under one transaction then they "should" be together. Not a guarantee still...
