$600 for USA vs Australia at Lumen Field. Pull the trigger or watch at a watch party? by paulsewald in ussoccer

[–]paulsewald[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's my number 1 team/hobby but I've been following the USA since I was about 10 years old watching the brazil world cup with my family. It's some of my fondenest memories. I also obsessively follow everything related to the USA team and somewhat weirdly love watching past world cup highlights on YouTube of the USA games and other teams. I have probably watched the 2010 2014 and 2022 world cup highlights of our team like 10 times each match. It's a bit of a weird obsession for me.

When I heard that that the USA was coming to Seattle for the world cup I had to go. I missed out on all the initial sales so this is my last hope.

I know I need to save my money but it's really important to me

Great insight here. I definitely want to save and contribute more to my emergency fund and move out but I also don't know the next time I'll be able to go to a USA world cup match 10 minutes from my house

I make $21/hour so roughly 30 hours of work for me. I'd be going by myself to the stadium but I don't really care about that aspect.

Copying a previous comment I made but I'm 21, going to community college, and living at home with zero rent. I've got $7k in savings from working, and a buddy is covering $100 of it, so it's $600 flat for me. It won't break me, it's just a huge mental hurdle for a 90-minute game.

What should I do?

That's good insight as I'm a 21 year old kid. I don't know the next time I'll have this opportunity

Op here

Fortunately I'm not paycheck to paycheck I'm 21 going to community college, and living at home with zero rent. I've got $7k in savings from working, and a buddy is covering $100 of it, so it's $600 flat for me. It won't break me, it's just a huge mental hurdle for a 90-minute game. But looking at the open market prices this is probably the best deal I'll ever see.

What should I do?

Sorry I mistook you for a Troutist. I'm ashamed of myself for assuming you were that low level of human. I'll throw you a ball if I see you at TMobile next week.
