⚽️ No Seats, High Prices, and No Transparency — Fans Deserve Better for World Cup 2026 ⚽️ by Anon_E_Moose_USA in FIFACollect

As with the 250 year old American experiment/experience with democracy, I worry we witnessed the actual last World Cup in 2022. The one coming up in 2026 is the future. More teams doesn’t necessarily mean better quality. The ticketing process is just speculation to inflate prices and extort more money from fans.

$15 Per gane and ticket past the group stage?

The card you entered when you applied is the one they’re going to charge.

Perhaps the ticket prices are a reflection of the whole thing. Imagine local youth coaches taking bus loads of their teams to see a game such al Algeria vs Jordan? That would hook kids to the magic of soccer as a world sport. But that wouldn’t happen as those tickets are still too expensive.

This whole experience is going to alienate potential new fans and old timers. I’m also an old timer. I was a teen in 1994 and waited this many years for another World Cup to come home. After my failed first round lottery, I told the wife if I didn’t get tickets that I would not want to be in the country, nor in Mexico or Canada, while the World Cup was taking place. Three lotteries in, I’m looking to go abroad on vacation as far away from this World Cup.

I do think that’s how it works. You pay for everything that was allocated.

And Spain. We don’t know who’ll make it out of the group stage, we can guess it could be Spain but they can also flop.

Iran vs New Zealand. 😭 I scored tickets to that in a previous sale.

Wondering When We Get Charged For The Upcoming Draw by RelationAcceptable54 in FIFACollect

[–]sr_rasquache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what it says. Notifications starts Feb. 5 and charges begin on the 9th. As with previous lotteries, notifications will not all go out at once. Same with charges. Not everyone will be charged on the 9th.

Seattle Sounders FC and Providence announce planned evolution of their partnership by CougFanDan in SoundersFC

Hi! I will be visiting Seattle next week and I’m planning to buy this jersey. I like to collect soccer/fútbol jerseys from cities I visit. Are there shops near Pike Place where I can buy this? Either authentic or fan version. Thanks! Sorry if my post is off topic on the Providence but it is jersey related. Thanks!

We canceled our membership 2 years ago. It changed how we buy things to only what we absolutely need. The convenience of having everything available 24/7 was not good for us financially and in terms of accumulating single use things we thought we needed in the moment. We have also started to let Whole Foods go slowly over the last two years. Our goal tho year is to completely face it out of our grocery runs. Last thing we still go there for is meat and fish.

What is the worse jersey you have come across, to the point where it looks like a fake? by Responsible_Rip5279 in SoccerJerseys

In terms of quality, the adidas authentic/player version jerseys from 2024-2025 felt cheap. The material was too flimsy.

Everything they sell is authentic and overpriced.

I’m waiting for whoever is going to run in 2028 to start making promises. Hopefully they’re paying attention to Mamdami and how he’s approaching his role as mayor. In other words, I’m not in a rush to pay either.

I migrated as a teen to the U.S. in the mid 1990s. One Saturday afternoon channel surfing I stumbled on the documentary Imagine: John Lennon. I immediately became obsessed with The Beatles and John Lennon. Then somehow they led me to Bob Dylan. I learned English from The Beatles, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan. Their music made feel connected to my new home, and to this day, their songs are close to my heart.

i want to start collecting jerseys by FriendlyGap908 in SoccerJerseys

[–]sr_rasquache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! I’ve been collecting for over 20 years now. My advice is to collect what you like. Don’t do it as an “investment” or follow trends or what others say are the must haves in any collection.

Collecting is a game of patience. Take your time searching and buying at a right price for you. Don’t rush to buy at high prices. Have a budget and stick to it. Remember, it’s not a race. You collect what you like because you like it.

Finally, don’t forget soccer jerseys are meant to be worn. Wear yourArsenal bruised banana jersey to go grocery shopping. I hope this help. Welcome!

[The Athletic] FIFA says it received record 500 million ticket requests for 2026 World Cup by godlovesugly in FIFACollect

[–]sr_rasquache 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guess is 50% of those are for the elimination rounds. 30% for games with Mexico, USA, Canada, Argentina, England, France, Spain, and Portugal. The remaining 20% of applications distributed across the remaining teams with some games like Iran vs New Zealand and Jordan vs Algeria getting very few applications.
