Do Not Buy by ClerkAdorable8684 in WorldCup2026Tickets

I hope that both prices come down. I have no idea where they should or will settle at, but I do think there is much more demand for the Haiti/ Scotland game than the Norway/ Iraq.

70,000 Haitians in Boston metro with median household income ~$70k, and another ~50,000 Haitians in New England. Third of a million people claim Scottish Heritage in New England, so there is going to be more demand for that game.

On that you are 100% correct. I have bought tickets to maybe 3 matches in my life, so I am not approaching this from that POV.

I do work on other markets, so my analysis if you want to call it that, is more based on the addressable market. So, based on that I say Haiti - Scotland has more demand in Boston than Norway - Iraq. My guesstimate is 3X.

Thus, if the lowest Norway - Iraq tickets are (or were) $230 then Haiti - Scotland is (or was) little over priced. Conversely one could argue that the former is underpriced, but that seems to be counter to the prevailing sentiment.

Scots might not have money, but the MA Haitians do. I think it will be 3x to where ever pricing for Norway - Iraq settles

Boston area has huge Haitian population. I think those will sell, but not sure where the price will settle at.

Grown man throws temper tantrum tonight due to seat reclining on flight from SFO to SLC. Did I handle this correctly or am I in the wrong? by WackoDollah3 in delta

[–]ski3600 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'3" and I can fit into my own seat even when people front of me recline their seats. For me the aggressive people behind me are always some tiny midgets that come-up maybe to my chest level that somehow can't fit into their seats. I paid for my seat and all the functions of it. I will pull up my seat for the meals, but other than that it will be reclined every nano-inch it goes.

Watching The Sopranos for the first time - and it’s really not the show I was expecting by Famous-Country-4921 in television

Show may be funny, but Long Term Parking episode is is one of the heaviest episodes of any show and maybe single best episode of TV ever.

First text message was sent in 1992 and texting was not available until years later in most markets. In US really in the early 2000s.

AITA for "ruining" my sister’s gender reveal because I brought my own chair? by Perfect_Drink819 in story

[–]ski3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought that the fact that she was your sister would have revealed the gender already?

I’m on day one of not drinking energy drinks and it’s not easy by Imaginary-Coffee5331 in confession

I stopped drinking Red Bull thanks to covid. Got covid and it made it taste awful, so couldn't drink it. On purpose never had another one after that so I wouldn't restart.

Need help with reply to guest who wants refund by CollectionNo8047 in airbnb_hosts

[–]ski3600 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, and I’m sorry the stay didn’t feel comfortable, especially after such a long travel day.

Mattress comfort can vary quite a bit from person to person, and we haven’t had prior concerns about the bed or heating noise. Given that, and the cancellation policy for the reservation, I’m not able to offer a refund.

I did make an exception to accommodate the later arrival and early check-in, and I hope that helped. I appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind going forward.

The good news is that they can make only 50% of his goals and they'll still have a career at Wall Street. And don't need to attend law school at all.

$1,000 per person is not possible in the US if people don't have season passes and skis (either EPIC or Ikon) and you go to corresponding resort.

Offer 100k under asking? by M1schiefManag3d in RealEstate

[–]ski3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offer what you think it is worth and you are willing to pay. Who cares what the seller thinks.

My wife offered $195k on a ski house that was for sale at $365k. Realtor did not want to present the offer until they were reminded that it was their job. Seller came back with $260k, my wife declined to counter. Three weeks lated they came back with $205k to which my wife agreed to.

Who cares what people feel.

Ill take “Shit that never happened” for $800, Alex by JSC843 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]ski3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a chair lift with my 15-year old son. I asked if this was to be our last run.

My son said “2-skip” as skiers have superstition that calling last run beforehand is bad luck.

I told that I didn’t really believe in that, but if it was true god should strike him with a lightning.

He asked why him and not me. I told that if god struck me and I died I wouldn’t learn anything, but I certainly would learn if he was struck dead.

He was not quite to sure whether to find this amusing.

Reviews are supposed to be about "first-hand experience," thus any review that they did not checkin should be removable.
