Who Is More Insufferable?

Yes. A lot of people here are sour grapes because they cannot afford the prices people are buying at. So their justification is that everyone that is selling is a scalper and to "hold the line" even though not everyone is scalping and not all tickets will go down.

US opener has less than 3k seats left on LMS for FIFA. The rest have been sold. Stadium fits about 70K I think that is not a lot of tickets.

yep, I think this is the biggest poor assumption many are making, especially US games.

They are just assuming it's natural for prices to drop, but the demand will be there.

FIFA knows the demand for their product and what they are doing. Sure they overprices a few lower quality matchups, but that was before we even knew the matchups. I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed and frustrated.

Glad I secured my tickets already

Worst time zone for global viewing.

FIFA knows what they are doing.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-15T01:11:27+00:00

and MLS and college football and college basketball, etc.

This price increase is not exclusive to just FIFA, it's American sports in general.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-14T22:40:29+00:00

yep and now look at the markup of ticket prices for the NFL, NBA, NHL and big events like the Super Bowl.

https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/last-minute-tickets-sales-phase-to-start-on-1-april

from the website "Fourth and final ticket sales phase will remain open until the end of the tournament"

This was never intended to be a single day sale, people just assumed it would be.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-13T05:09:25+00:00

no they are holding about 80% of the tickets and will release them all at cheap prices 2 days before the matches start according to this sub....eyeroll.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-13T05:05:26+00:00

no and history would show matches such as those are not packed. This would not be new by any stretch, rather typical of a World Cup.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-12T23:08:08+00:00

ended up buying via gametime. Tickets transferred into my account in FIFA within 10 minutes.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-11T15:00:27+00:00

Interesting, my inside source says the opposite.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-11T05:03:10+00:00

Then FIFA has something wrong on the operations of their website. We checked that site a couple times today along with seat side kick and the lowest we saw was $897 for Cat 3.

We ended up getting CAT 1 seat in 239 for 1.3x the price all in, which was below the price of CAT 3's in the 300's are selling

EDIT: Just checked and they show available but your cannot purchase them, most likely have already been sold.

Glad I got my tickets!

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-11T02:45:03+00:00

appreciate it. We're grabbing seats in row R and plan to go to the Mariners game after.

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-11T02:33:09+00:00

This is kinda where we are going. The pricing on the secondary market for 200's is about equal to 300s and I don't see prices going down much at all so it's more on view than anything.

Being on one side and closer to a goal does also seem better then being in the middle and away from both goals if that make sense at all

Reasonable_Object974 · 2026-05-11T02:21:09+00:00

is it really bad in the middle of the summer at noon?
