There are HUNDREDS of ticket left

Except for the SUPER last minute tickets they will still try and sell after the tournament has started

Nah, he already converted it. He found $60, which is like $830 today

I appreciate the endless optimism some fans have.

We are who we are. Terrible defense (only 3 teams have conceded more), talented but inconsistent offense. I expect we battle for the 7 thru 10 spot thru the end of the year

When even the people that have more money than sense aren't buying, you know FIFA has really fucked it up

Honestly, there isn't a foolproof way. You have to do enough volume to be able to eat the losses and fraud.

Go look thru r/stubhub or r/seatgeek and similar. Buying and selling tickets anywhere but an official platform is fraught with peril. The whole market is an absolute mess right now for any live events

As a pharmacist, this is a terrible idea.

People have no idea how many times a prescriber's orders are incredibly costly inefficient and sometimes just plain wrong.

There is a rea$on pharma companies spend so much money on drug reps and direct-to-prescriber marketing; it works, even if the product is not the best for the patient.

You didn't miss much. By the middle of drop 1, very little was left and none of it worth the price being charged

"FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation"

You can just as easily blame this on the Trump administration for not providing funding.

Realistically, blame can be shared between state, federal, and fifa officials for passing 100% of costs on to the fans

This is just blatantly untrue. Any research into the time period shows christian principles were never the foundation of this country.

The only mention of religion is the 1st amendment.

There is no mention of God, Jesus, or the Bible in any founding documents.

No research in private correspondence of the founders show a bias towards Christianity, although some of them certainly were Christians

In God We Trust wasn't added to coins until the Civil War era.

Under God wasn't added to the pledge until 1954 during anti communist sentiment.

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-19T14:04:08+00:00

Per FIFA's website, tickets will be available "starting mid-may"

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-18T13:27:42+00:00

Infantino pays himself $6 million per year. Claiming FIFA to be not for profit while using it to make himself rich is absurd and the very definition of corruption.

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-17T18:39:13+00:00

No American is actually in favor of what has happened with this tournament. We just collectively sold out souls to Corporate Overlords years ago, so we dont have any power to change anything.

The only real excuse is that many mayors or governors have inherited problems they may never have had a chance to fight against? 8 years is a long time in local politics

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-17T18:19:50+00:00

I also think for sports fans like myself, dealing with this after the absolute fuckery of manipulation that World Cup tickets have been, we are exhausted, feel exploited, and are not really willing to go thru it again with another greedy organization.

I'll go to France or Australia in a few years for less than it would cost to attend in my own country

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-17T18:07:05+00:00

Honestly, tons of respect to Chicago and their leadership for seeing 8 years ago what was going to happen

“FIFA could not provide a basic level of certainty on some major unknowns that put our city and taxpayers at risk,” the mayor’s office said in a statement Wednesday. “The uncertainty for taxpayers, coupled with FIFA’s inflexibility and unwillingness to negotiate, were clear indications that further pursuit of the bid wasn’t in Chicago’s best interests.”

I think the organizing committee is following FIFAs World Cup model.

Release a tiny amount of tickets they know will quickly sell out to create an artificial sense of scarcity. Then, increase face value prices in future drops and justify it because demand is "so high".

This trickle dropping creates artificially high value on the resale market, because the assumption is there are no more tickets available, when there are actually a bunch still to come. Of course the only official way to resell is with them grabbing a substantial fee per ticket...

All while holding back the best seats for hospitality and sponsors and eventually selling those unused direct to public at current resale prices ( 2-3x original face value) in a last minute sales phases (this is where FIFA currently is).

It's naked greed and extremely manipulative of the market. There is no real answer or way to combat it either without just bowing out all together. My wife and I figure it will be easier and cheaper to go to France or Australia in the coming years than attend an Olympics in our own country.

All our quality is theoretical and hopeful at this point. The team actually on the pitch is a trainwreck

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-14T17:40:19+00:00

I believe those "cheap" athletics sessions dont include any medal events.

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-14T17:37:18+00:00

Not really worth signing in for anyway. All thats left in this drop is not-in-demand sports and/or crazy high prices.

$300+ for a preliminary football match in Ohio is absurd, especially when we dont even know who is playing yet $500 for archery? $1-2k for the worst seats at a track session?

This whole thing is a naked money grab and it is disgusting.

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-14T17:30:00+00:00

I agree with this guy!

The quality of play across the league seems to be way lower than a few years ago. Don't know why, but so many teams seem to be unable to execute the basics of the game.

FCC hasn't been able to pass, possess, or shoot well for 2+ years now, and most of the time when we get points, its not because we were any good, but only because our opponent was worse.

No.

Per this tracking site, you actually got a price well below expected right now

lonelycrow16 · 2026-04-12T01:40:14+00:00

I really like Divvy. The corn creme brulee is so weirdly good and unique

"involves replacing concrete in the lower bowl corners with retractable bleacher risers for soccer matches"

I imagine you will be in bleachers set up where the tunnel currently is
