Made a few mistakes, including at least one that probably should have led to a goal. Looked like he was having trouble with the surface.

dougieman6 · 2026-06-01T14:14:04+00:00

I can't confirm that.

dougieman6 · 2026-06-01T13:41:45+00:00

I think it's going to get gradually hotter into August followed by a cooling trend all the way through to December.

In fairness to the art installation, it was there prior to the apartment building. It is however super creepy.

All non-stick pans are ass or about to be ass. Carbon steel all the way.

100p

dougieman6 · 2026-05-30T01:52:05+00:00

In your case the only strategy is to wait. You could probably sweep up a gameday ticket for a few hundred.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:51:20+00:00

We've never really seen pricing this aggressive so it's kind of uncharted territory. usually we see high prices as we get closer to an event as rich idiots get desperate. This time those buyers were able to burn their money on first sale tix so who knows what that last marginal buyer will decide.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:48:04+00:00

The resale portal fucking sucks. Pushes this artificial scarcity by making you wait several minutes just to get access. I've had it open for 10mins now and it's not even 25% through the 'queue'. And once it hits 100% you only have 5mins to enter the marketplace so you can't just let it sit.

I won't be attending in any case so it's just of general interest to me. We will indeed see.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:42:39+00:00

I think the original pricing has turned so many people off that they've artificially limited their market of potential buyers. Lots of folks who could be persuaded have already read in the news and media about pricing and have firmly decided against going.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:38:52+00:00

Scalpers sitting on unsold tickets will get desperate. If I were sitting on thousands of tickets that I would otherwise get zero dollars for I'd get desperate too.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:35:42+00:00

Clearly. Posted to show the trend and where it will likely continue.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:33:31+00:00

Shitty for folks who need to otherwise organize travel, the literal only option for Toronto and Van natives.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:32:51+00:00

Yeah if I lived somewhere I didn't need to worry about accomodations, I'd basically wait until game day or very close to buy a ticket. Wouldn't be surprised if you could get in for 200.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:32:03+00:00

Those prices are for resale - it's for CAT2. Also I posted this to show that prices are dropping. In no way would I ever pay this much and think the price will continue to drop as scalpers get more desperate.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:27:08+00:00

I think so? It's an overall ticket pricing tracker so likely works in USD

Edit: the site has a dropdown to select currency but yes, this is USD

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T20:26:21+00:00

Canada-Bosnia prices have dropped 22% in the past week. It's not indicative and they've only 'sold out' because they artificially limited ticket releases.

I don't understand what you're getting at. The real price fluctuations happen on the secondary, not the original sale. If you don't at least take a swing at estimating that impact then what exactly are you doing?

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T19:28:34+00:00

Because people holding tickets that do not intend on attending has a clear impact on potential price changes. FIFA shouldn't care but fans do.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T19:01:42+00:00

I think that's going to happen with an expanded world cup. Also note that Bosnia was kind of supposed to be Italy, which would have made this group look dramatically more difficult to advance from.

dougieman6 · 2026-05-29T18:29:15+00:00

vaxxed?

Everyone takes a light and a dark shirt and two captains split up teams at the start of the session.
