We bought a few tickets. I have always wanted to go to a world cup match. We have no idea who is playing. We can’t resell the tickets if the teams don’t match. It is so fucking stupid. My wife got kinda tricked as she knows I always wanted to go. Fuck FIFA and USA soccer for being compliant.
Can you explain more about not being able to resell if the teams don’t match?
You buy tickets to watch your favorite country play in the finals. They get booted in the semifinals. You’re stuck watching two teams you dgaf about.
And on top off that FIFA is also selling NFTs that might get you the opportunity to potentially buy a ticket.
The whole process is bordering on gambling.
Your are gambling buying tickets for a match between two teams that might not play, and gambling buying NFTs to be chosen to be put in a draw to buy tickets.
Presale tickets are for time and location. They are sold to a degree already. The groups are not even made. The teams haven’t even qualified. The only ones that are, are US, Mexico an Canada. If you want one of those in presale, you had to buy for 4 - 8 games, high price locations. It is so stupid and greedy. You can’t not by terms resell them using any service. You could theoretically resell them directly person to person, but that is not easy.
Understood, thank you. Looks like the jacked up the original prices to resell levels.
That’s a lot to invest for sure.
WTF. This is such a huge waste of money. I don’t know how people spend this much money to watch OTHER PEOPLE play a sport. A couple hundred at most.
Is that standard uniform ticketmaster prices? What are typical NFL regular, playoff, and superbowl prices?

NFL Ticket prices
Season/Round Price Range Notes
Regular Season $50 - $500+ Upper-level seats can start around $50-$100, while premium lower-level and club seats can cost $200-$500+. The average NFL ticket price in 2023 was $377, a jump from $235 in 2022. Team popularity and opponent rivalry significantly influence pricing. According to vocal.media, the average cost of NFL season tickets in 2024 ranged between $600 and $3,000 per seat.
Wild Card Round Starting around $145 Prices can fluctuate, with some games seeing higher averages.
Divisional Round Starting around $400 Some games have averaged around $993.
Conference Championships Starting around $800 Expect to pay at least $800 for the most affordable tickets.
Super Bowl Starting around $2,000 - $3,000 Seats can exceed $1,800, especially in high-demand markets. The average price for Super Bowl 2025 tickets was reported at $8,076 by StubHub, down 14% from 2024. Previous Super Bowls have seen average prices like $12,082 (2024) and $8,907 (2023). Prices on the secondary market are typically higher than face value.I don’t expect a lot of tourism demand to come to US, especially with ICE announcing any excuse to raid the superbowl of all events. World cup is more popular with immigrants and tourists than NFL, and “NFL demographic” tends to have low interest in soccer. MLS (pro soccer in US) is 6x lower ticket prices than NFL.
the most depressing part is how small this page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-FIFA_international_football
This makes me want to go watch the 2029 Island Games on IoM just out of spite
The RWC (rugby world cup) after this in Australia will have $20 tickets for kids…
also you get to be deported ! what a shit show
That’s why the high price.
Oh they know there’ll be people paying this for sure. All just to watch their country disappoint them.
Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.
If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.
I’m Canadian, and there’s a work conference in the states in an area I really would have wanted to go to if it were a year ago.
All expenses paid by the company for a week of travel and schmoozing.
Still not going.
Ditto. SKO in Vegas early next year, all paid. Staying home.

Or just come to Canada and die in a fire that was set by the mafia in your egressless airbnb.
Sucks to be Mexican. The world cups finally coming to your country after 40 years and the tickets are too expensive for the locals to afford.

They don’t want the poor to attend because they are the one that will turn the stadium into a protest.
How many people died again for the one in Qatar?
Think America will match it?
I don’t think even the MAGAs can fuck with OSHA
Lol.
The Divided States of Trashcanistan hasn’t hosted since 1994 and it’s going to be an absolute garbage shitshow for the wealthy only. Probably plagued with ICE terrorists. Not to mention another year under this admin and the dollar will probably have tanked another 10% and our cost of living will probably be even more absurd.
There’s going to be 6 games within a 2 hour drive from me and I have no intention of going to any of them, despite spending the last few decades fantasizing about going to a World Cup game with some friends.
Pathetic shithole.
You won the internet today.
I however found it mildly interesting that Zohran Mamdani was making this part of the issues he’s messaging about for NYC, to at least drive down the price for locals. Free childcare, public owned groceries, sure, but FIFA tickets? Yet this graphic kinda puts that in perspective, so I get it.
Don’t forget the Ticketmaster fee.
Tariffs
That’s fantastic, I wouldn’t have come anyway.
