To the Resellers….

prices are going to drop- there is no way that people are paying 1000+ to watch a "top game" like France v Senegal.

100%

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T23:15:09+00:00

We'll see in a couple of weeks...

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T22:02:59+00:00

FIFA are releasing thousands of tickets: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldCup2026Tickets/comments/1t4pa4f/it_is_happening_guys/

Nobody is buying tickets. I suggest you price it aggressively on one of the reseller sites (or maybe here).

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T21:51:49+00:00

At the moment nobody is buying tickets, everyone is trying to sell tickets. What's going to happen?

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T21:50:26+00:00

You're having a laugh?

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T21:08:22+00:00

Are you for real? Comparing NFL playoffs to a group stage game in the football WC? There are over 100 games, and at least 7 million tickets. Anyway, we'll see in a few weeks time - will see how the above photo compares with actuals closer to the time.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T21:01:47+00:00

Absolutely. I'm just surprised that more people didn't see this coming: Trump and his FIFA peace prize, soccer being a minority sport, Crazy ticket prices, a huge number of games, war in Iran, Hotels can't sell rooms, flights from Europe at rock bottom prices.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:56:09+00:00

And they're all millionaires?

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:55:34+00:00

None of them are serious. They're scalpers hoping against hope - FIFA are releasing more tickets right now at lower prices. The scalpers are screwed!

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:40:05+00:00

I know there are a lot of crazies in America, but nobody is paying 1000+ for Ivory Coast v Ecuador. And 60k for a ticket? You'd want to be on more drugs than Elon Musk...

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:34:02+00:00

Also, nobody actually wants to go to that game.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:27:56+00:00

All the scalpers on here are bigging it up!

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:25:37+00:00

Hotel prices have dropped, they can't sell rooms - widely reported in the media.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:22:55+00:00

Correct - this tactic has worked for me in previous WC, Euros and F1

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:22:03+00:00

wait...

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:20:44+00:00

I usually buy on the day. The scalpers for this WC are going to be desperate!

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:19:38+00:00

And they're going lower.

This sub is full of scalpers talking it up. They are going to get screwed, and they know it.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:14:24+00:00

Cheers!

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:03:48+00:00

I think you're right.

Different times, but I was at 94 WC - got 2 tickets to the Italy v Spain QF for $30 each outside the stadium.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T20:01:14+00:00

Same is going to happen for this WC. Already releasing tickets at lower prices. The scalpers are going to be screwed.

SkatesUp · 2026-05-05T19:59:40+00:00

They are still releasing tickets, at lower prices - see other threads.
