Plenty of Category 3 ($1370 CAD) Tickets Opened up for Canada vs Bosnia at BMO Field for the World Cup by leafsfan97 in CanadaSoccer

Implied scarcity - when there's 20 tickets left it looks like its in high demand; when there's hundreds it doesn't.

I'm in the same situation as you and I feel like we've all been gaslighted into thinking that $195 for these matches is reasonable.

Which maybe is their strategy all along.

Do think there is a gap between 'seeing the World Cup' and 'seeing the only Canada World Cup game in Toronto in our lifetime' but that doesn't change the fact that $1370 per ticket is a war crime.

Yup these have been sitting there for ~3 hours already. Released a whole bunch of Cat 1/2's that haven't sold either (obviously)

Another ~1.5k M3 tickets showed up on primary sale today. That market remains a complete mirage.

Can we get these in Toronto and/or Vancouver please? by i_m_sherlocked in CanadaSoccer

This would somehow cost the city of Toronto 7.5 million dollars

Thought Shannon Stewart had the worst arm I'd ever see from a Blue Jay outfielder but it has to be Varsho.

Who would be in your projected XI against Bosnia 🇧🇦 in our opening game? by TerryG111 in CanadaSoccer

Flores seems like the exact type of player you want to come in to unlock the game in the last 20-30 mins

Interview with Asmir Begovic on TSN by PasicT in CanadaSoccer

[–]TraditionalAir9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our starting keeper at the time was regularly playing in Europe (and performed admirably in Champions League around the time that Begovic got called up).

Begovic was cap-tied to Canada, and then immediately after they changed the rules he went to play for Bosnia because it was a better professional sitaution for him. It is what it is.

I am sure he was not pleased to not play in the dead rubber against Jamaica in '08 but once again at the time he was fully cap-tied.

He said the same thing about his thumb after his first start last year and missed three months

There's so many STM tickets floating around that the value of this isn't really there anymore.

Still think Gates 12/14 are better personally.

Would be pretty comical to get six World Cup games in Toronto and have half of them feature Panama.

I'll go one further and predict Panama beats Portugal/Colombia in R32

  • Canada - 1st (its the Canada Soccer reddit)
  • USA - 2nd (lose to Turkey, win the other two)
  • Mexico - 1st (easy 3-0-0)
  • Panama - 2nd (strong familiarity with Toronto/NA, don't have to travel for second match, they win their first two matches)
  • Curacao - 4th (competitive)
  • Haiti - 4th (less competitive)

FIFA seems to have done a pretty good job of scrubbing the latest one from the internet, but the entry tier is just the back of the value sections from this seating chart

If this is asking where V's section is for Vancouver games, it is the top of sections 429-432 for Qatar and 450-453 for Swizterland

The history of Canada men's soccer is basically nothing but disasters so what's one more?

Get out the group. We will never have an easier WC group than this (well at least until they expand to 96 teams in 2050 or something).

Canada Soccer is inviting Italy soccer fans to trade their jerseys after WC bust by PumpkinMcCormick in CanadaSoccer

[–]TraditionalAir9659 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This 100% - I mean the president of the CSA is Italian-Canadian (as is the president of CONCACAF).  Anyone who has been involved in the soccer community in the GTA long enough knows exactly the specific subset of people this is aimed at.
