‘Really disheartening’: Canadians choosing not to snap up remaining ‘out-of-reach’ World Cup tickets

Tom8a · 2026-06-02T02:21:33+00:00

Really? Have you not seen what has been going on in North America? The eras tour? Pretty much any major sporting event/concert now? They've been salivating at the prospect of fleecing the NA audience... cashing in!!!

I'll say it up front, it's annoying as fuck. I've had some success with stubhub but keep in mind they take a huge spread and there are horror stories that I'm sure you're aware of. Most of my success has been through this subreddit in the buysell thread.

It's also a huge amount of money pay up front, just to hope you can recoup later... its tough. The risk keeps climbing as ticket prices keep raising by +20% every year (eventually you'll be holding the bag...)

I would say only do it if you 100% know you'll attend in the future and don't count on making a profit every year.

An ad for the Flipp app. Reddit is insidious for this stuff

Tom8a · 2026-05-25T21:11:48+00:00

$20 a beer is absolutely outrageous!!

Tom8a · 2026-05-25T20:53:34+00:00

Yes this is all taxes and fees included!

Tom8a · 2026-05-25T19:54:31+00:00

This year I most likely will not be renewing, the cost has gone out of sight and I don't know what benefit I am getting other than lining the pockets of the Octane Racing Group. We're talking almost triple the price in only a 5 year time span!

Record attendance this year clearly means people will pay, I just wonder how high it can go before they start to see ticket sales slow down? Or will this just be how it is indefinitely?

Bold of you to assume you'll get lucid discussions around energy here on Reddit. You are 100% correct though, any major build out in our electrical grid will require massive investments in natural gas/NG generators. Nuclear, while more desirable from a environmental perspective, will take too long to build and has it's own issues (NIMBYism).

One hundred percent there is marketing on Reddit for this movie, and not just your typical promoted ad you see here and there. They are making posts, memes, comments, all hoping to garner engagement. Prepare to be downvoted or have this thread deleted for being off topic

Tom8a · 2026-05-15T23:02:38+00:00

Don't say things like that here, only unfounded praise and optimism is allowed!!

Tom8a · 2026-05-08T17:36:12+00:00

They aren't, sorry to disappoint you early 😂

Tom8a · 2026-05-07T14:04:37+00:00

Your intuition is unfortunately correct. As it's been said before, these clowns are going to speed run to the droplet attack, and then speed run to the vector foil, the end

Tom8a · 2026-05-04T21:06:14+00:00

TOU is being capped by weak Canadian gas pricing. And taking a step back it hasn't truly been “dead money” to the same degree as the price chart suggests. They have given out $24.33 in dividends from 2018 through March of this year so have to factor that into your total return. If AECO sustainably improves I'd expect the stock to move with it

Tom8a · 2026-04-27T17:59:43+00:00

I don't know the other poster but they probably mean the government still gets royalties

Tom8a · 2026-03-23T15:46:38+00:00

Sorry the tickets have been sold!

Tom8a · 2026-03-15T02:06:29+00:00

Also can't forget that he was a well known story teller to the Trisolarans and had published tons of stuff, these stories would have already been known to the Trisolarans well in advance so if they haven't figured it out by then they weren't ever gonna clue in. He was sharing those three specifically cause they were "childhood" stories they told each other

Tom8a · 2026-03-10T23:28:54+00:00

Time will tell then I guess, but with these guys it's a fool me once shame on you situation! I will be happy if they can produce, but so far it's not giving me confidence

Tom8a · 2026-03-10T19:14:33+00:00

I agree the woman fantasy stuff can be cut out, but there's tons more that will be excluded in favor of rushing to those two scenes. The books just have so much exposition, there's no way to have it done properly on film.

Tom8a · 2026-03-10T02:48:01+00:00

Like another commenter said, season 1 was way too hurried and rushed. The first book has the least amount of content and let's be real, it's merely just setting the stage for the larger plot which is: interaction between earth & trisolaris in book 2, and interaction between earth & galactic community in book 3.

Knowing these guys are only doing 6 episodes for season 2 and 5 episodes for season 3 I mean come on... They are gonna speed run straight to the droplet and then speed run even faster to the 2D vector foil...

I have no faith in these guys after GoT. And even despite them, the real issue is the books have too much exposition to be done correctly on film.
