I don't think you guys comprehend how embarrassing this is going to be for FIFA
>>152453677Don't worry, Trump and Infantino will make sure lots of pajeets show up
>Algeria - Jordan>S.Arabia - Cape Verde>Australia - Kosovo>Albania - Tunisia>Scotland - Haiti>Qatar - Wales>Paraguay - Slovenia>Côte d'Ivoire - Curaçao>Uzbekistan - DR Congo>New Zealand - Belgium>etc.Scalpers are eating well.
I feel so bad for the nice people of America, many of them don't know or aren't awar of the seedy underworld that is world soccer so they are probably looking forward to hosting. But we are a long way from 1994 brosThis thing is PURE EVIL nowadays
>>152454628Scalpers are literally feasting on Colombia-Portugal. Someone sold their $200 ticket into $15000
It's so shitty, dude Can anyone confirm what % of all revenue is actually ticket sales? It's a world tournament bro tickets should be either on a graduated income scale or a lottery Should be a dynamically priced lottery system based on income It's supposed to be Incljsive These fifa subhumans r trash
>>152454857Resell ticket, have to pay FIFA another $4500 plus tip
>>152453781>YNR pajeet boludos in qatar
American society is centered around normal people enjoying getting ripped off.I run marathons. London marathon? Paid £300 for a long weekend in a nice hotel. New York or Chicago prices are like £700 a night marathon weekend depending on how weak USD is against GBP. Then there's all the "unspoken rules" that all seem to conveniently include giving someone else money, like tipping
>>152453677how do you justify such prices ? paper price ?
>>152458709u run fucken marathons?? why??
>>152458717So he doesn't become FAT
>>152458729fucken crazy broi dont fucken run for shit

>>152453677What the fuck cunt? Why do mutts ruin everything?
>>152458775Pay the toll europoorsIt’s hilarious we get to host a sport a tiny tiny sliver of americans give a shit about
>>152453677No worries their president will import thousands of indians and sudacas to fill the seats and avoid looking like a failure
you cant visit the country without showing your social network history now i dont think anyone on /sp/ would like to make it public
>>152458938Imagine the half empty stadiums because of border filtering, and thousands of angry retards who paid for expensive tickets without refunds. It'll be kino
>>152453677TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
>>152455258he looks argentinian
>people unironically expecting a ticket for 15 quid, with a free bovril and programmewake up boomer, it's 2025. it's the WORLD CUP FINAL. the most popular sport, the most sought after athletes at their peak. and you're wanting Accrington Stanley v Port Vale prices. watch it on your phone like everyone else and GROW UP
lot of money to be deported by ICE tbhfam
>>152459043>explaining the cum wall pictures in the lads Whatsapp chat to a burger policeman
Genuinely don't know who'll be paying these prices, or how this is supposed to grow the sport.
soccer is so fucken dead no o ne even realizes itthis is a fucken dinosaur sport, bfor fucken legacy faggetsthis is all legacy pre-llm shit. you'r eall about to go down hardur fucken obsoletei like brown girls, and ONLY brown girls. nothin u can do to change that get fuckedwhites are donewyto piggu UR OBSOLETE
>>152459263It will be all wealthy tourists and soulless corpo bugmen, they'll only go to be able to tell people they were there. Atmosphere will be utter garbage.
>>152459263There are enough richfags who are willing to pay retardedly high prices for events such as the WCBut the WC as a popular event is definitely dead
>>152459318And I don't see how we can stop this, money runs the world
>>152459032I learned from a writer once. He was a comedian and he said sth like this: don't make that first joke that comes up to everyone's mind.
>>152459359Sadly so. Same thing is happening with super expensive concert tickets, it's a reframing of what these experiences are. You no longer shell out to go and see an artist you love, or support your team/nation at a game, you go because these are Prestige Events™ and the fact you had the financial means to attend one is treated like a badge of honour by some people. No connection with what they are seeing, the act of spending and consumption is all they need.
>>152459263Out of the 8 billion people on this planet, you only need 60-80,000 rich ones
>>152453677A lot of people are gonna go & overstay their visas.
>>152459263"grow the sport"...?
>>152459428The only thing that could stop it is there weren't enough people showing up. Unfortunately the upper-mid class doesn't give a fuck and spend like retards. Gentrification happens in all aspects of life.
>>152459318I said this the other day but other yuros don't seem to get it. Richfags and corpofags are your average Superb Owl attendees, this is going to be that just multiplied by the number of matches.
>>152459450Given that the majority of matches are going to be hold in the United States of America, which is generally held by "most people" as not being a soccer country, it would seem to be good business sense to price tickets to matches in a more reasonable manner, so as to allow normies the chance to attend who may not otherwise be interested. The 'that was fun, let's do it again' method of growing the sport.
Do you think pundits will be contractually mandated to praise FIFA's organisation?
>>152459263In America big companies get given tickets to shit like this in deals and then just give them to their employees to either gift to clients or use themselves. The American crowd won't have actually paid for the tickets, they are just some middle manager at bank of america or delta airlines or something with no interest in the actual sport
>pay $10'000 for a seat behind a pillar>arrive at the airport>sir, you have liked a post on instagram two years ago that condemns mass bombing palestine children>get shot on the spot
>>152459671i don't think FIFA care. they gave you-know-who a big gold medal, a trophy, and an awarding ceremony, and in return the bribery thing has gone quiet. why would they care what noises the cattle are making?
>>152459712Best thing is that it's actually plausible now
>>152459719Exactly, all the fat envelopes have made it into the right hands already so the quality of the tournament is hardly a consideration at this point.
>>152458709you paid 300.bucks to run around, save the lectures about getting ripped off >b-but I got a piece of paper with a number!shut up bones and pick up a real sport

>>152459827Hope they increased your credit score for this post, and don't forget to tip
>>152459800???£100 a night is a very normal price, especially around an event and in London. You'd know this if you weren't a shut-in
>>152459854This not only a good point, but a funny and novel response
>>152459855I'm amazed you managed to figure out how to solve the captcha to make this post
>>152459827I have actually lived in the States (upstate NY) and still have family there. You probably don't even understand how commodified and work-centric your life is compared to even a Brit, never mind a continental European.
>>152459875Sorry lad I did misread your post.
>>152453677why are they doing this? I'm serious. they don't need the money and it makes them look like an awful bunch of cunts. they know this but they do it anyway. like a lot of things going on at the moment this feels like deliberate destruction
>>152459897Happens to the best of us
they have no shame, but we already know this
>>152459862>I need to be constantly stimulated by noveltyThe american mind never ceases to amaze me
>>152459968>actually, posting lame clichés is cool and if you disagree its because ur dumHehe
>>152459883How long did you live there? If that was the case, why bother with the shitty anecdote?
>>152459903The more money you can take from the rich, then the richer you yourself are, of course, but also other rich people are poorer. If you see the acquisition of wealth as a competition, this is the way to play the game.
>>152460010But it's not a cliché, which should be concerning to you.
>>152460060>posting the same dumb thing that's frequently posted repeatedly isn't a cliché Lol

>>152458709Surely its cheaper to just take a same-day retun train rather than spemd £300 on a hotel.>American society is centered around normal people enjoying getting ripped off.This is inarguable however. Literally a society of temporarily embarassed millionaires.
>>152459455I doubt FIFA are especially concerned with the fact that majority of WC crowds are going to be middle class cosplayers larping as 'football fans' for the day. FIFA welcomes 'experience chaser' tourists. They pay through the nose, politely applaud and tend not to riot.
>>152460186thats just grim

>>152460186>Nearly £30 for eggs, bacon, hash brown, juice and a coffeeWhat in the FUCK, does it come with a complimentary blow job?
>>152460186So the only reason they call us poor is because we refuse to pay loads for nothing?

>>152453781/threadthey'll do what Qatar did. find homeless people, give them a wash, some clothes, a sandwich and a beer and make sure he "cheers" every 10 minutes or so"the stadium is packed to the brimerino!!!111!!!"I have bigger issues tho, my 20yo son might play in the other teamgrim
>>152460346thats a modest 3% Tip, further so.>>152460451The REAL problem here is its automagically fuxoring itself into a £60 item by the time it reaches the bottom line. This shit, along with the rest of cunts like Ticketmaster etc. made up charges, needs banned.
>>152460516>find homeless people, give them a wash, some clothes, a sandwich and a beer and make sure he "cheers" every 10 minutes or somust be the reason why recently a lot of the homeless in the US are going missing all of a sudden

>>152460186Land of the fee, you mean?
>>152458709I won't pay $100 for a marathon, enjoy getting ripped off. Running outside is free, dumbass.
>>152460626>ameripoors won't even pay for runningshameful
>>152458709It was the same shit at the CWC, shitty Motels asked for $500/night just because calling "super event special early bird special" when I planed to go in January. Total came down to about $10k to see some glorified friendlies so said fuck it and used the money on my car.It's insane how the US is willing to pay first class prices for a rock bottom economy experience and put a a tip on top.
>>152460186>Las VegasWell there's your problem. It's like you want to get scammed. Funny thing is, those idiots running the casinos have no idea why nobody is in Vegas now.
>>152460747>It's California, it doesn't count>It's NY, it doesn't count>It's Texas, it doesn't count>It's Vegas, it doesn't countAt what point do Muricans realize that Montana isn't the entire country?
>>152460683It's a miracle we have people running at all, but I don't need to hear from some bitchass weekend warrior about how Americans are getting ripped off (true, btw) when he's dropping hundreds of dollars to run around the city for a t-shirt, participation medal, and a $5 coupon off Ziggy Tacos and Permavirgin IPA.>>152459800Both the marathons he listed are $250-300 for the entry fees
>>152460769What are you even on about? Vegas's prices are unreasonably expensive, even for California and New York. It's a tourist trap that nickels and dimes you at the casinos. I also noticed on Nigel's receipt that he actually tipped twice. He didn't need to add that 22% at the end. The gratuity is the tip. Unless they automatically added that on, in which case, reinforces my first point.
>>152453781https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trumpNo seems Trump is more than willing to kill it
>>152460828My point is that whenever someone brings up a negative about something American, you guys always deflect with "It's X, it's not the REAL America" to the point you're running out of places
>>152454628>Scotland - Haitisome scots guys will be telling the wife they need to find £5000 so they can go and watch scotland versus haiti as it will be a lifelong memory. maybe even take the kid if the get a wee loan over 5 years at 10%apr.

don't care anymore, 2018 was the last real WC
>>152460898I bought 3 tickets using Klarna.
>>152459496This is a retarded take and out of touch with America's affinity for soccer. Even if only 5% of Americans like soccer, that's still almost 18 million people. Realistically it's probably closer to 10% so roughly 35 million Americans who enjoy soccer and would want to go to a match. Then you got all the Mexicans so another 20 million immigrants. You're still going to get enough people. NY, California, Texas, and Florida alone have more people than any country in Europe outside Russia

>>152469739
>>152458938Most of your social network history is already public Pierre.Also if you refer to border control going through your phone, that's not true. They MAY ask to go through your phone if they have a feeling you are not being forthright with the reason you seek entry in the country. I and a lot of relatives of mine (not all leafs) have been to the US in the past year and none was ever asked that.You can always refuse to unlock it, they won't hold you for longer than the time it takes to deport you. That's your choice, or if you're not comfortable just sanitize your phone before going.BTW that's a standard Canada applies too.
>>152472809I'm gonna call bs on that
>intentionally charge an arm and a leg for the all the matches so that no americans consider going and dirty foreigners get their wallets raped>thirdies will get rejected at the border or kicked out by ICE>everyone has to take taxis or drive to matches, no getting drunk and walking like you're used to>randomly delay or cancel matches because of weather>american military flyovers of all important matches>trump will crash the winners photo-op againGoing to be a fun soccer superbowl
if most of the stadiums are half/3/4ths empty it would be so fucking funny(and great)sadly people are really that desperate to go to games so they'll pay the prices fifa extorts
>>152458709>He pays for running and brags about itLmao look at this nigga
Fifa really is a retarded organization. $1k to see some divegrass? Fuck that. Hopefully enough libtard MLS fans will attend or there are about to be lots of empty seats.
>>152482658What do you mean, "hopefully they will buy tickets"? Hopefully they won't so that FIFA can't get away with it and try some pathetic excusesFew Americans falling for this bullshit would also be better for you
>>152482751I think it's going to be packed either way. There's always some giant corporation willing to buy x amount of tickets at whatever price. But yes they should suffer for their greed.
>>152482903>that priceHoly shit, no wayI also expect it to work out fine, unfortunately. But if they can actually fill 60,000 seat stadiums for Curacao vs. Ivory Coast and Saudi-Arabia vs. Cape Verde with these prices, then FIFA can get away with anythingAnd boy, I fear the atmosphere will suckSports are too successful for their own good
>>152453677It's embarrassing for us more or less since in all likelihood most of us won't be able to afford jack shit either.>>152453781So true, MIGA!
>>152458709You're not wrong at all. I stopped tipping because other countries don't do it and most people don't have a problem with it anyways. And don't listen to the other anons, you're spending good use of your money to stay healthy. Doubt the fat slobs ITT know any better.
>>152459263No one will, and when this trash heap of an event is all said and done, people will go back to not caring. Let alone when the US loses in general.
>>152459324Well that event's specifcally for themThe World Cup isn't for these people at all.
>>152459496This anon gets it.We need a World Cup where the highest rated seed gets to host their pool. Then the rest of the matches should be where the higher ranked country is. The Finals can be in a special country if they please.
>>152460747I paid for the same shit in Denver dude
