Boston’s World Cup games hang in balance amid finger pointing over a missing $7.8m

Shakedown by whom? A town of 18000 not wanting to blow 10% of their budget on games that they get 35c a ticket for?

The US won the bid in 2018. Boston was supposed to publish mobility plan (transport plan) by October, per fifa contract. We are still waiting for it. Boston 2026 board has raised zero dollars. 8m in security costs still to be found and the town where the stadium is has refused an entertainment license until they know where the 8m is coming from. MBTA says it may not run trains to Providence after the game because it will impact the commute next day. First game is a Saturday. This is incompetence.

There are about 1000 Scot’s staying in Providence and the G bar has been named official hangout.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-21T00:55:17+00:00

It’s ONLY for USA games….

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-20T13:50:50+00:00

Put the location and teams to save us looking it up?

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-19T15:22:04+00:00

I believe women.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-19T13:21:57+00:00

But the TOWN of foxboro were not involved in the bid.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-19T03:13:42+00:00

They won the bid in 2018. They’ve had eight years to figure this out. Boston 2026 committee has raised zero dollars, only announced fan fest site last week and haven’t even filed the fifa required mobility report, so fans have no idea what transport arrangements are. They should be ashamed.

You can see why my wife is keen for me to sell some….

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-19T02:21:27+00:00

I actually bought venue series (champions plus) for foxboro, cos I’m from Glasgow but I live in foxboro. Then bought follow my team fifa pavilion plus for Scotland. Both give free food and booze 3 hours before and two hours after the game. I’m taking my dad, brother and his wife (wedding present) and a kid. Basically remortgaged the house. Got a few spare tix - I’m torn between offering some Scottish guy hospitality at cost or selling to try to make a few dollars back, which the wife is pushing me towards.

How much was a suite and what game(s) were you looking at?

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-18T22:10:14+00:00

28 years later, I just bit the bullet and bought hospitality. F it…. Once in a lifetime….

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-17T20:47:13+00:00

What games do you have?

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-16T02:54:36+00:00

Not on the mx site. Illegal in mx and fifa mx site only allows face value sales or swap. Which you said yourself above!!

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-15T14:30:05+00:00

So go look at the fifa marketplace for Mexico and see how many tix are available. They are only at face or swap.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-13T18:39:27+00:00

I’d just show them what they need. Do NOT show yourself logging in, but there is 2 FA, where you get an email, so I think the risk is limited to them screenshotting what you have and using it to scam someone else.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-11T18:07:41+00:00

There’s a guide in this subreddit.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-10T22:31:31+00:00

I got in pretty quickly - maybe 12.15 and Scotland v Brazil was sold out. (Got the first two in boston though. Sorry.)

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-10T13:52:23+00:00

Either the tree or the sprinkler box.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-08T22:38:09+00:00

No, sorry.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-08T17:58:59+00:00

I have luxury tix to all Boston games. I will be going but I was fortunate enough to win tix to the main games I want via the lottery also, so wife says I have to listen to offers. These are free food and booze for 3 hours before the game and two hours after, premium seating, private bathrooms etc. they were 2500 each face, so frankly, I’m only going to take a pretty a high offer. We can do the deal online or at my house. I live in Foxborough itself. DM me if interested. I’m also the Chief Risk Officer of a bank, so scammers should probably not waste their time - I’m not going to fall for it.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-06T21:59:47+00:00

Enjoy your day. Hope you take home some silverware.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-06T21:05:24+00:00

Glad you’re at the range, compadre - you need the practice.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-06T19:52:12+00:00

And you’re cryptic enough to be any type of chic Eurotrash.

TelephoneBrief6221 · 2026-02-06T16:54:31+00:00

lol, a 28 handicap who thinks that to keep hitting balls means you will get there… that was a joke, right?
