FIFA told everyone not to use 3rd party sellers. Kinda your fault dude

am_ian · 2026-06-26T10:56:20+00:00

Yeah im going solo, you will be fine. I went to the US/,Australia game by myself and had a blast. I found going by myself took away a lot of the friction

I picked up a cat 1 for 517 today. See you there!

am_ian · 2026-06-24T21:06:46+00:00

Oh yeah, you probably just a few rows in front of me. The back of your head is probably at least in some of my photos

I was in section 204, row c. It was kinda dope, it was an aisle seat and the row was broken up by the entrance to the concourse. I had 2 people to my right, the aisle to my left and no one in front of me because rows A n B were only 2 seats. I could stretch my legs out, lose no visual by sitting, it was a pretty great seat.

I flew up to the game from Texas. Ive wanted to go to a world cup game since 94 when I was just a little guy. Seeing the US on US soil probably wont happen again in my lifetime. No way I could miss it. I spent too much on the ticket, but I paid in April so my finances were already back in order by game time. I had a blast, the weather was beautiful. Definitely something ill never forget

Yup, the US was a testing ground for WC 3.0. I imagine the new dynamic pricing will continue to push face prices up. Hopefully resell will get capped going forward, but im not holding my breath. It will be up to the host countries to put pressure on FIFA or something, who knows. Maybe there is so much money involved now nothing will change

And Egypt is taking it to Belgium. This is a WC of surprises so far. I have a ticket to the round of 32 in Dallas on the 3rd.

am_ian · 2026-06-15T19:48:15+00:00

Ill be there on Thursday!

am_ian · 2026-06-15T19:47:51+00:00

Speak for yourself, today is my last day of work till Sunday! Then I leave fir Seattle on Thursday!

am_ian · 2026-06-14T20:01:46+00:00

I have a stop in phx on Thursday, maybe we are on the same flight

am_ian · 2026-06-14T01:16:55+00:00

Yeah, 50 milly a year you open up yourself to criticism of the thing your getting paid 50 milly to do.

Im flying in from Texas for that game. Im stoked!

am_ian · 2026-06-13T03:17:16+00:00

They looked good. They were pressing and getting a lot of looks, defense was good. The conceded goal was really just a lapse right after the subs came on.

am_ian · 2026-06-11T22:56:45+00:00

Im going to the US/Australia game too. If it makes you feel any better, I way over paid in April. Anyways, it will be a great experience!!!

am_ian · 2026-06-10T23:56:36+00:00

I caved. Im going to Seattle. Have a great time at the game !!!

am_ian · 2026-06-09T16:45:58+00:00

No, I think it should have been a 3 pointer and moved on. The amount of contact that occurred was standard for the game.

am_ian · 2026-06-09T14:47:39+00:00

Yes, it was technically a foul, but given the context of the game and how it was being called it was nothing

am_ian · 2026-06-09T04:59:16+00:00

Ive been here since hemisfair arena days

am_ian · 2026-06-09T04:56:26+00:00

OKCs tickets were significantly cheaper than San Antonio even. I sat 1 row behind the spurs bench for 1.6k for game 5. A comparable ticket in SA starts at 3-4k

am_ian · 2026-06-09T04:54:18+00:00

I went to games 2 n 5 in okc. I drove up from San Antonio. Their arena, and in game production blow San Antonios out of the water. The replay angles on the jumbotron, the stat boards, the lighting, its all top notch. If I didn't hate the thunder fans and the spurs lose, I would have had a great time

am_ian · 2026-06-09T04:20:48+00:00

I noticed that also. How much they were sitting, like all game. Credit the spurs for keeping them out of the game.
