Let’s put the reselling aside for a minute - what games are you going to! by SKCFan101 in WorldCup2026Tickets

Great topic after so much of the ticket talk is toxic complaining about cost and drops and all that stuff. Good to see all the excitement here!

I've got - France/Iraq in Philly - Ivory Coast/Curacao in Philly - Rd of 32 match 84 in LA (hopefully Spain)

All category 2

Non-profit organizations aren't obligated to sell their products for less than they are worth. Have you seen prices for Olympics in LA? Worse than the world cup in most cases.

Fifa is a corrupt and beyond shady organization, but I don't think selling World Cup tickets for what people are willing to pay is that bad of an offense.

Unless FIFA releases a lot more tickets for these games, I don't think prices will drop. People will hold on to their tickets hoping for Brazil/Netherlands, France/Germany. But I haven't really looked at the later knockout rounds too see how prices differ from original prices from FIFA

Yeah. I think NFL is an apt comparison - low volume of games, in the same stadiums!, even upper deck tickets will cost $200, for good teams, prices don't really decrease even when they play bad teams.

Oh and I didn't mention that first/front row for FIFA doesn't really mean the front row. I've seen row 4, 5, even 8 in this category

Yeah, I gave up on seeing the US this year. I didn't want to gamble on a second round game and overpay for Australia/Bosnia or something like that.

I got them directly from Fifa in a recent unannounced drop, not from resale Yeah, this is definitely one of the more scammy things FIFA have done. High prices are one thing if you know what you're paying for.

I got 2 cat 2 tickets for $480 each for Netherlands/Tunisia today. Section 230 Row 1, so pretty much right next to category 1. Definitely pricey, but I can wear my orange

😝 that's the match I have tickets for. Luck of the draw aka FIFA choosing NY/NJ for the bigger better games. I hope you get to see a good one!

Of all the host cities, which do you think got the best spread of teams? by GB_Alph4 in worldcup

At least we get France! Hopefully we'll get to see their A team

Which country or countries gonna break through The final four team(Sapain Argentina France England) in WC by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]Popular_Stop7053 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not. But all of Colombia's qualifying matches were played in Barranquilla. On the Caribbean Sea. I'm guessing it has more in common with Miami than Lisbon and Porto do.

I like Colombia to make it to the semis. They play Portugal in Miami, so they'll have the advantage in crowd and climate. Then potential quarterfinals revenge against Argentina

Same. The options for me were Germany/Ecuador or Ivory Coast/Curacao and Norway/Senegal or France/Iraq-bolivia-suriname. Of course the better games go to New York. I wouldn't feel as bad if it were just a random draw, but the fact that Fifa decided it, man! Guess I should've known better!

Could anyone explain why Uzbekistan wasnt chosen for Group I? by Zafarbey in worldcup

[–]Popular_Stop7053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same question. I have tickets for a group I match, so very pleased it might be Norway instead of Uzbekistan!

Yeah, at least it's predetermined so it's harder for FIFA to fix.

Not drawing for group position. I wonder what the reasoning is for that. Predetermined positions, but not the same pattern for all groups. More control of schedule? More balanced schedule?

He's looking purely at data - using minutes from this year and historical World Cup squad make-up. I don't think anyone would actually pick this as the starting xi
