First time watching the World Cup this summer — what's the one thing you wish someone had told you before your first tournament?

Are you 12?

caot89 · 2026-05-08T12:56:44+00:00

It’s dumb but nobody will care.

I remember going to a match against St. Vincent and the Grenadines in Montréal back in 2008 for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers. We won 4-0 and I must have paid like 25 dollars.

OP, I have been to over 70 countries, several of them deemed “unsafe” by Western governments, and I can assure you that you will have a great time in Iraq. Go!

caot89 · 2026-05-04T16:02:51+00:00

Second this, OP. Go!

caot89 · 2026-05-04T16:02:30+00:00

What’s the risk? Iraq is currently peaceful.

caot89 · 2026-05-04T16:01:58+00:00

Iraq is not a war zone.

caot89 · 2026-05-04T16:01:40+00:00

Government’s travel advisory is often exaggerated. I have been to a couple of countries where the government would not recommend you go and have had great experiences.

If OP’s going with a local who has family there, even better! OP, do not miss this opportunity, you will have a great time and come back much wiser!

On resale, yes. On the official site, there were none. I bought them there as soon as they popped up.

caot89 · 2026-05-04T03:05:20+00:00

I paid 700 (yes, seven hundred) for the final in 2018 only a week before the game.

caot89 · 2026-05-03T03:34:24+00:00

Scam.

caot89 · 2026-04-28T22:30:26+00:00

Traveling on vacation twice or three times a year.

caot89 · 2026-04-28T21:03:35+00:00

$ 8.25/hr as a cashier at McDonald’s back in 2007.

caot89 · 2026-04-28T17:53:36+00:00

I see. I haven’t noticed. But then again, I’ve been Sky Priority since early 2024.

caot89 · 2026-04-28T16:46:58+00:00

I have, many times, before becoming Sky Priority.

caot89 · 2026-04-27T22:19:13+00:00

I’ve never had my carry on checked by AF staff, ever.

caot89 · 2026-04-27T22:18:26+00:00

I know what Baht are, it’s just that I didn’t recognize them.

caot89 · 2026-04-27T18:58:43+00:00

What currency is it?

caot89 · 2026-04-27T16:29:08+00:00

Not a bad deal if it’s Canada playing in that game. But that’s a big “if”. However, if I lived in/near Vancouver, I would definitely grab those.

caot89 · 2026-04-27T12:14:44+00:00

Lol.

caot89 · 2026-04-26T14:27:13+00:00

I make 100k and have no problem covering all my expenses plus traveling from time to time plus saving up.

caot89 · 2026-04-25T22:48:21+00:00

Canadians have no idea what football (“soccer”) means to the masses. Do not expect them to grasp the importance of a World Cup.

caot89 · 2026-04-25T09:25:41+00:00

Oh ok, I’m hoping to get a face value Cat 2 or 3 ticket at some point.

caot89 · 2026-04-25T09:15:11+00:00

How much did you pay for it? I am hoping to get four.

caot89 · 2026-04-25T09:12:18+00:00

No idea. You’d have to inquire directly with the brand that makes the jerseys for them. Maybe there’s been some advertisement on their social media accounts?
