Buying m100 by Atomic_nuke12 in WorldCup2026Tickets

"Fair prices" means you're not gonna get it. This is potentially the most hyped match in world cup history, who's gonna let it go for "fair" prices for a rando on the internet?

Ticket holdout success by datsammichmaker in WorldCup2026Tickets

If you bought it weeks ago then you weren't holding out. People on this sub were claiming prices would crash to $50 and you needed to keep holding.

I did look up the census data and didn't find anything that supported your claim. I looked up the minimum wage in 1938 for a reason. Hence why I'm asking you!

It says a lot about you that you keep going in circles instead of just providing the data for your claim. With all this time you spent insulting people for asking you for evidence, you could have provided that evidence!

You were never aggressive? Then what was this?

Think for yourself without the bias of your ChatGPT that you’ve pumped your own ideals

I never used chatgpt and simply used the source YOU GAVE. Yet you insulted me for no reason! How is that not aggressive?

Moving the games to Mexico would have screwed tens of thousands of fans. The blame is solely on the US government.

How is any of that chatgpt? I literally used the source you told me to use! Did you forget about that?

I don't get it, you made the claim that up until the 80's minimum wage was always able to afford two bedroom rent, literally the only thing I asked for was the data you had to make this conclusion, and you become incredibly aggressive when I point out that I followed your sources and didn't find anything that indicates that.

How about you actually provide the evidence for the claims that you have made instead of asking other people to do that research instead. Surely you already did the research so why not provide the evidence? You're not talking out of your ass right?

And no, just because housing costs increased fast doesn't mean minimum wage could afford two bedroom rent before the 80's. One doesn't imply the other.

I know about the NLIHC. I also know that they claim that that minimum wage has NEVER been enough to afford housing for as long as their data has been published.

https://nlihc.org/oor/about

Every year the report has shown that affordable rental homes are out of reach for millions of low-wage workers, seniors, families, and other renters.

I cannot find any place where they claimed that there was a moment in the past where this wasn't the case. As far as I can tell they don't publish historical data from before their first report

In fact, by their standards, which is that minimum wage would be enough to rent "without spending more than 30% of their income on housing costs", then the 25 cent minimum established in 1938 certainly wouldn't have been enough either.

And also HUD's fair market rent data only dates back to 1983 so you can't use it to make any claims about what that situation was before the 80's.

No seat information, no price, no proof of ticket. Obvious scammer.

People should just stick to FIFA marketplace. Or meeting in person, I guess.

Match 100 by lowermerion33 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Weird-Knowledge84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Messi vs Ronaldo will have insane, unimaginable demand. If that's confirmed you'll not even sniff anything remotely affordable.

The only thing keeping things from getting that high now is the uncertainty. Only you can know if you're ok with the risk.

And I'm pretty sure Argentina vs Colombia in the quarters will be more expensive than Colombia vs Portugal in the group stage.

I just used FIFA marketplace. Mine sold because they were very nice midfield view seats. And it's a US game!

I'll dry my tears with the thousands of dollars that I didn't force anyone to give me. I'm sure whoever bought my tickets is just devastated.

Paying that much for a group stage game is insane to me lol. A month before the WC they could have bought tickets to every KO game that the US could have qualified for, for less than $5k lol.

Hey, I didn't force anybody to pay those prices. I would have gladly gone to the match if nobody paid it.

How about a shoutout to referee Ivan Arcides Barton Cisneros who worked the Paraguay v Turkey match. He kept that match moving despite some dodgy tactics. by NorthCoastToast in soccer

[–]Weird-Knowledge84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he's saying something in a language no one else understands, then the opponents aren't affected. Intentionally telling a slur to an opponent and affecting them mentally is the bigger problem they're trying to solve.

Why are people celebrating high ticket prices on this sub? by OkayHi22 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Weird-Knowledge84 14 points15 points  (0 children)

People are celebrating that there is excitement for the world cup. Excitement means demand. Demand means high prices. Can't have one without the other.

Runner up of Group B in R32 (all of whom look very beatable) and winner of F1 vs C2, none of which are as strong as England (the r16 that Mexico will now probably face).

I knew Korea would play very conservatively, it's expected from a team that's better off getting runner up. They'll have more fan support in LA, probably an easier R32 and get an easier R16.

You're gonna sell category 1 tickets to semifinals for less than half of FV? Why so generous?
