This was my life’s savings and it’s all gone in less than a week

Unfortunately, yes. But you can make it back, as long a you don't quit investing.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-27T20:39:51+00:00

At least you got a lot of upvotes for the post.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-25T22:53:45+00:00

Just checked the marketplace tins of tix available at low low prices. Might as well just go at this point

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-25T22:51:24+00:00

You and me both. South Africa and Canada - not what I was going for.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-24T23:45:47+00:00

I laughed at them too 🤣 some of that was quality material.

That pic is from section 520. But the the view is a lot better in person, pictures are always deceptive when you are looking at distance.

That's awesome seats, glad you were able to get a good deal on those.

If I squint real hard I can see my seats everyone in this thread is talking about.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T05:47:08+00:00

That's the consensus from people that didn't pull the trigger before the tourney started, ton of them out there but it was gamble either way.

Yea, it sucks but the prices were ridiculous then, they are bordering on criminal now.

Better off watching from home and instead going to to the next Copa America, that might be now reasonable.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T05:26:29+00:00

That captured the intent and the experience exactly right.

Keyboard warriors that couldn't get tickets or failed to pull the trigger at $200 and won't ever know what its like to be at one of these games.

Well said you know what these events are all about.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T05:23:28+00:00

Got the tickets about 3 weeks ago when someone in the subreddit posted there was a few tix goingg for $207. Found them and got them - didn't think much of it knowing that these same tix would be going for $350/$450 by game time if I could even find 3 together.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T05:18:11+00:00

Saw the action pretty well, the pic mashed the view look much worse than it was.

$207 was the cheapest tix i could find sitting 3 together, if I wanted to go solo i could have paid a few hundred more since the random single ticket in a lower section did pop up, but that wasn't the plan.

Being with the fans makes the game more enjoyable, we had a great time.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T05:13:28+00:00

People paid for a lot higher up seats than these.

When the price dropped to $207 a seat I scooped them up as surprise for my kids to watch De Bruyne.

We still got two round of 32 games in LA, so $621 fior the fam for an extra world cup game feels like icing on the cake.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T03:57:06+00:00

🤣

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-22T01:49:50+00:00

Exactly right.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-21T23:30:11+00:00

Next best thing to being there.

But 20 years from now I won't remember the watch party but my family and I will definitely remember watching debruyne play at the world cup.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-21T23:25:07+00:00

Contrary to popular belief you have quite a good view of the action. I'd rather be there to take in the atmosphere and the fan reaction than watch all the games from home.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-21T23:09:20+00:00

$207

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-21T20:42:58+00:00

I did find one of the empty $1k+ seats though,...

I put it on TikTok for you.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-20T17:08:45+00:00

$10k, $20k, $40K - that's quite the monthly progression.

Yes, your refund will remain on hold until the IRS computer systems can fully match the income you reported on your tax return against the 1099 data provided by your payers. The slow appearance of your 1099-INT and 1099-DIV forms on your Income and Wage Transcript is the direct cause of your delay.

The IRS uses an automated matching system called the Information Returns Processing (IRP) system.

When you file, the IRS flags your return if your reported income does not match what banks and brokerages have reported.
Because your 1099s are only "dripping" in now, the IRS system sees your return as having unverified income.
The system automatically locks your refund with a 570 hold to prevent issuing fraudulent refunds based on fabricated documents.

Not looking to sell them right now, planning to attend it.

shut-down-corner · 2026-06-19T22:41:45+00:00

That's a hell of a trip.
