World Cup Tickets
Anyone else been looking at this?

First nightmare, ticket prices are 1000s of US dollars!!! They have a resale option for unwanted tickets from the early sale. I looked at one game and prices were from 1800 to 11500 US dollars!! I heard said they were expensive, but that made me think a 100, maybe 200, but 1000s! It's a piss take.

Second nightmare, group matches will be played across different cities in different countries and you will probably have to travel over a 1000 miles between venues for different group games!

It is just bare faced robbery. With no thought of the fans.
It is so sad what these money grabbing cunts are doing to every part of our game.

I really wanted to go, but cannot see it at the moment. I'll see what happens after the draw on the 5th Dec. Maybe it's a bit better through the football association...

There was everybody thinking that Septic Bladder was a total cսnt and that FIFA couldn't get any worse yet the Giant Infant is proving that it's possible to make things even more batshit gnarly and corruption crazy

[Gank]

It's supply and demand. I can't go as I can't afford it, and I accept that. If I could afford it, I still wouldn't be able to go as they would have sold out.

[On The Ball]

I was reading about the draw and tickets.
Ball I saw this, the final ain't going to be cheap.
"The cheapest ticket for the 2026 final costs $2,030 (£1,510), and the most expensive is $6,000 (£4,462)."

The draw is not easy to understand. If you are first out of your pot it seems pretty straight forward, after that it is all rigged to keep teams apart and a bit of a nightmare to understand.

 

Actually the cheapest Final ticket for an England fan is $4185. Now while I can pay that, am I going to? Am I fuck. Worst thing is that you have to pay for it in January regardless - FIFA will then refund a month or two after the Final - so you get to lend FIFA $4185 for eight months or so. It's insane.

Oddly UEFA manage to charge game-by-game.

I'll keep my flight/hotel booking in the hope that the whole thing tanks and that they rethink it, but I know they won't.

[Fauxstralian]

It’s utterly ludicrous 
Of course first you have to get 5 years of social media postings past US customs in case you called President cսnt a cսnt

Suggested elsewhere that all the European nations should withdraw and set up a tournament next summer with the top 14 European nations plus Argentina & Brazil
England could even host 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Nobody should be at all surprised, given the location of the competition and those with a say in it's "management", that bringing (foreign) cash into the USA trumps any sporting integrity (the competition may have once had).

[Mex Martillo]

FIFA is not fit for purpose. 
They should not be organising World Cups. This World Cup is a fuck up of pricing and venues. I hope they get empty stadium, it's what they deserve. Qatar was a fuck up of human rights.
Two World Cups in a row that I don't really care about and I have always loved the World Cup.
Fucking useless cunts!

Games involving certain player will be sold at a premium, 2 players especially will draw the rich punters and extra TV money in, Messi and Ronaldo

But i read this morning that Ronaldo gets a 3-game ban for elbowing someone in the head. But because he’s Ronaldo. He misses 1 game with two games suspended so he doesn’t miss the opening World Cup game. FIFA not even hiding there corruption anymore..........

[On The Ball]

Following England at tournaments hasn't been a cheap thing for a long time. A glance at my office wall tells me I paid $150 for my Argentina-England ticket at Japan 2002, $200 for my Germany-England ticket At South Africa 2010 and $285 for Croatia-England at Russia 2018. It obviously shouldn't cost what this one is costing, but I think they know that most of the people will be American and they don't seem to have any sense when it comes to sport and money.

I suspect/fervently hope that they will struggle with it, just as they seriously overestimated demand for the Club World Cup nonsense.

UEFA introduced 'Fans First' for the 2020 Euros, and it's bloody great. Can't speak highly enough of it.

[On The Ball]

Mex - it wasn't your comment I was replying to. You're absolutely right about ticket prices for this WC, but what I said below about the Euros means what Mmdc said isn't true - I paid c£330 for ALL of England's games at the Euros last year, including the Final. That's great value.

I haven't bought it yet as FIFA have only done one public sale, they haven't done the FA sales yet. It'll cost a fortune (even though my 'caps' mean I'll get the cheapest), I know, but just in case.....

Ignore resale sites, they aren't real numbers - that's what someone HOPES to make. And there are FIFA sales to come, I believe.

[Sydney_Iron]

 

It's Viagogo. There's every chance those tickets aren't real yet, and even if they are there's nothing that says anyone's going to pay it. I could put a broken Sky remote on ebay for £1m - doesn't mean I'll get it.

But maybe they will - the prices Yanks pay for NFL is absolutely mouth-watering.

I get your point, but either way, FIFA are gong for maximum profit in this event, any ordinary person (football fan) wont get much of a look in unless they are willing to sell a kidney, rob a bank or similar!!!

 Watch this video to see how corrupt the FIFA 2026 WC ticketing process is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vElThKJlTSU

FIFA makes money at every step of the ticket buying process. Firstly they sell 'the opportunity' to buy tickets – no guarantee that you will get any, the tickets themselves, when tickets are resold both the buyer and the seller pays an extra fee which goes to FIFA.

Personally i hope ordinary fans boycott this event, i know (just like FIFA) that they wont and they will be there to be royally screwed for every penny FIFA can get their grubby hands on.

[Mex Martillo]

Ball, Why do you say not entirely true? Go on FIFA web site select resale and look at the prices and tell me again what I said is not entirely true. Just did a screen capture of opening game in the Azteca, Mexico, prices for the tickets on resale are 5232 - 11500 US dollars. I don't see how to put the screen capture here though. Out of interest what did you pay for your final ticket in the actual sale rather than resale?

[On The Ball]

From Viagogo who are the secondary resale option, just looked at the USA first game in San Francisco, i think.

Match Day 4 USA V TBD (so dont even know the opposition yet) but only 10% of tickets available, in GBP from 1027 for Category 4 (the cheapest option) to GBP 188,143 (thats not a typo!!!!) for VIP and only 4 tickets left in this category.............Is it unreasonable to suspect FIFA officials, their wives, children and pet dogs have all been getting $$$$ via selling on their allocations or what they could get their hands on?

[On The Ball]

I agree with most of that. I kind of hoped someone would have some cool insight on how to get tickets at sensible prices. I also have no interest in going to the USA. What a cսnt of a place and even worse with that dictator clown. I really would like to go to games in Mexico and don't mind Canada. Got family in Toronto. Hopefully, get some games outside the USA and the FAs offer tickets at reasonable prices. I'll wait for the draw and see what happens about tickets and travel.

You won't get tickets through the FA without being a Travel Club member with some loyalty points behind you. And as far as we know FIFA aren't doing 'Fans First' (cheap tickets for those with the most points) tickets like UEFA, so there won't be anything cheaper through the FA who have no say in prices.

Why are you surprised?
The  working mans game was hijacked years ago.
as was everything else in our once great collection of Isles .
Now I'm called a racist and worse for being offended at the site of hijabs and mosques and human feaces  everywhere I  fuckin go  by third world dogs .
Get to fuck

Not entirely true about the tickets, but obviously it's easier to deal in cliches and assumptions. Read my post below.

Yep it couldn't that he's just a bit of a cսnt as some white players are too... 

[Mad Ferret]

Ian Wank has always had a massive chip on his shoulder.

[fraser]

According to Ian Wright the reason that Jude Bellingham is such an arse is due to racism, we are to blame for his behaviour apparently.
It’s because the media can’t get to grips with a black footballing superstar.

Nothing to do with the fact that he is overhyped and behaves like a petulant child.

Like Pele, Ronaldinho, Mbappe, Henry...
