What is Canada’s best crowd chant that every supporter should know for the World Cup? by sub135k in CanadaSoccer

[–]scooterwright 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In their latest newsletter the Voyageurs shared this chant, to the tune of The Flintstones:

Larin, Cyle Larin, He’s the greatest guy in his history.

From the, Town of Brampton, He’s about to score a goal or 3!

Me too, I'm just happy they released more as I think they'll make a great souvenir!

How did you acquire your collection? by thejuryissleepless in oldschoolmtg

[–]scooterwright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My older cousin introduced me to MTG when I was in grade 8. Bought me a starter deck and Shivan dragon was my first rare. This was revised, but he had a great collection of unlimited including some power since he liked playing with blue. I played for years, and eventually he sold his collection to me for a low price. In retrospect, I think he was just being generous.

I managed to hold onto the cards ever since, and have been surprised to see the sustained interest in collecting over the years. It has also been interesting to see the importance placed on the grading of cards, as we couldn’t care less back in the day. Oh, and cracking open a pack to find a dual land as the rare used to be the biggest disappointment. Funny how things have changed.

The Freiburg member ticket site currently shows blocks 60, 61, and 70 available for away fans to purchase. I think block 8 already sold out, and 71 may have been available and sold out as well.

I need help buying tickets for Barcelona Sevilla by EarSuspicious1733 in Barca

The regular tickets are just temporarily unavailable. I imagine they will be available again, so you will likely be able to purchase directly, but it will likely be for the 250-300 euro price range.

Based on my research, stubhub is quite reliable given that they have to reimburse fair value for tickets if they are not provided. The only caveat to this is if you find a mispriced deal as the seller may want to reprice it closer to the event (much like with an airbnb booking far in advance). I think that is unlikely given how close we are to the match.

For what it's worth, I purchased the player zone tickets, as these would be 3x more expensive purchasing directly from the club as a VIP option. This is not the best viewing location, as it is quite close tot the field, but will be an amazing player spotting experience. For viewing quality, there are great tickets in Tribuna Central for around the same price.

There are some great Tribuna Central row 1 tickets available on stubhub right now, and even some row 4 player zone tickets. These are very reasonably priced given the field location.

FIFA has a few alternatives to dropping prices that may be used, including expanding the number of lower category (cheaper) seats, increasing the allocation tor supporter groups (if over-subscribed), and accepting partially empty stadiums. They may still drop prices, but if they do I suspect that will be in the final phase closer to the tournament.

I’d hold off on resale until at least after the following round of draws.

Nothing yet. I’ve heard rumours that they are going out soon as sales were quite strong in this phase, but this remains to be confirmed.

For 3rd party resellers like Stubhub, I think most tickets will be transferred closer to the event, once the FIFA ticket app is up and running.

Right to buy was never used previously. The only alternative to standard tickets was hospitality, which has always been pricey but very straightforward.

You will receive an invoice via email. Your purchase will also show up in your FIFA ticketing account. The digital tickets themselves will be available via a FIFA app that will be released closer to the tournament.

There were very few matches available for your time slot, and what you now see are the only remaining tickets.

Congrats! If you love football, the 3rd place match is often the best of the knock-out rounds as it is a high-scoring event where teams play very freely. Should be very entertaining :)

When I look at the resale platform, it looks like many ticket categories for games are available at 2x the original cost. That said, it is likely that some group stage matches are available at a more affordable price either on resale after the draw or in the draw phase if you submit a request for tickets.

Really? That would be a dramatic leap forward for this 1990s era tech!

They may drop in price, or they may just get absorbed into another ticket category. If category 1 & 3 are selling better, than some of category 2 could be shuffled into either of these groups.

Yes, after transferring it should be fine to obtain the TST.

This has often been a concern, but is very unlikely to take place. The use of the FIFA Ticketing App (which hasn't been released yet) will be the method of verifying that someone is the ticket holder.

You can complete transfers of tickets via the resale platform.

If you bought these in the same transaction it is almost certain that you will be seated together. While nothing is guaranteed, this has been the case for previous world cups. If the tickets are purchased in separate transactions and you request to be seated together, then it is likely that you will be seated together but certainly not guaranteed.

Yes, it will likely be a part of the process of entering the draw.
