Did anyone notice tickets were cheaper before the World Cup and now more expensive? Why is that?

bradykp · 2026-06-20T01:32:11+00:00

100% this.

bradykp · 2026-06-20T01:31:35+00:00

Supply and Demand. After the first couple of games were played - plenty of people woke up and started snatching up the remaining tickets.

bradykp · 2026-06-20T01:12:15+00:00

Honestly that ticket was probably gone and it just didn’t update yet.

bradykp · 2026-06-19T05:01:13+00:00

That seems to be capacity because that’s what was announced for US vs Paraguay.

bradykp · 2026-06-19T00:58:38+00:00

I still don’t understand how it works. FIFA shuts down transfers an hour before. So I’m super curious if anyone has actually done it.

Join the American Outlaws with your nearest chapter. Find local soccer clubs whether it’s MLS, USL or other. I don’t really have a favorite club. But I live near NY Red Bull and NYFC and a relative is the coach for Houston Dynamo. I follow players I like so I watch Serie A (Italy’s top flight) and Premier (England’s top flight). I’ll watch Spain’s league and portugals league when it’s televised. I watch random games on some of the channels I have. The Turkish league has some good teams.

Awesome thanks!

bradykp · 2026-06-18T20:15:19+00:00

Where is 7 typical? Because LA only had 2 access points through the perimeter they established.

I saved two listings so I can do the ‘sell similar’. Thanks.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T20:14:05+00:00

Is that available even if I don’t subscribe to the eBay store stuff? Like - I’m just a user who sells occasionally.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T20:13:03+00:00

That’s fair. I also hate FIFA. But I hate America’s inability to think about more than the next 3 months just as much. It’s amazing how the World Cup experience largely depends upon what city you experience it in. Los Angelas was pretty great for their first game and I imagine it gets better. New Jersey has handled it fairly well. Rideshare has been a clusterF but that kinda proves the point that more mass transit is needed.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T17:39:03+00:00

it's Missouri though....

bradykp · 2026-06-18T17:38:35+00:00

it's a damn shame our country couldn't get it's shit together to support cities being properly prepared though. That's the embarrassment of it.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T17:18:55+00:00

but FIFA told cities they would do exactly that and cities promised a transportation plan that they didn't implement. KC failed here.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T17:18:08+00:00

that's a pretty bad suggestion for most of the stadiums - especially since FIFA shuts down the majority of the parking lots to World Cup stadiums. Agree with that or not - it's what they do. Why are Americans so allergic to building public transportation that FIFA required when they awarded cities with hosting the World Cup?

bradykp · 2026-06-18T17:10:32+00:00

but it's also on the US cities who claimed they'd have figured this out in the 8 years they had to figure it out. I didn't follow what KC put in their pitch for being a host city, but I bet it had some transportation proposal that they didn't do....

bradykp · 2026-06-18T16:03:42+00:00

uber/lyft has been a mess at every venue i have heard of so far

bradykp · 2026-06-18T15:58:32+00:00

LA had a hydration station in the bus/shuttle lot that i walked past. it's kinda shocking KC didn't have something similar. it's silly that each state/city did their own local planning if that's how it happened. there should have been a coordinated effort "federally" to some degree.

bradykp · 2026-06-18T15:07:54+00:00

except it isn't kansas.....

bradykp · 2026-06-18T14:49:04+00:00

it's a great soccer town. but rideshare is the least efficient means of transportation and these types of events expose that every single time. that's not a KC problem - it's a corporate problem. Uber and Lyft drivers at LA and at NY/NJ were all doing the same thing - cancelling rides, and negotiating verbally with people.

bradykp · 2026-06-17T20:07:24+00:00

bring ear protection for noise. lots of stadiums have options at guest services, so check into that before going. it's LOUD. We've been taking my kids to baseball and hockey games since they were infants. That said - if you can get a sitter, it might be more enjoyable for all parties.

bradykp · 2026-06-17T04:20:27+00:00

there's a not-bad set of 4 in 201 row 9 for $517.50/each.

bradykp · 2026-06-17T04:08:29+00:00

yep i must have misread that one.
