Hold out for some bank from a Saudi prince.

Yeah. She bought tickets for what ended up being the two Houston Portugal games and the CV v SA game. Might end up trying to get what we can for those to offset the cost of the others.

Holy s*** tickets are expensive. I knew they were going to be expensive but these are bonkers.

Living in Atlanta, looking at my options for cheap tickets to take the kids to a game just so they can say they went to the World Cup. I've got my eye on Congo DR/Jamaica/New Caledonia v Uzbekistan

I'd look at one of the March USMNT friendlies for a chance to see a really good game as you're local.

My buddy bought like 4x tickets a year ago for 4-500 a piece ; knowing he was gonna resale them in 2026 for 3-5x that... decently solid investment actually


How?

My wife bought tickets a month or two ago via the FIFA lottery and basically won the mega millions. We have tickets to see Argentina twice in the group stage, and if Portugal wins their group we will get to see them in the knock out round.

FIFA announced all matches will have 3 minute water break no matter the weather or if they are played in the A/C.

Sounds like someone finally realized they could sell more TV ads doing it that way.

Just an FYI, the ticket raffle has opened up. I'm put in for two matches in Kansas City and Scotland's first two matches in the group stage, 8 tickets total at the lowest price range.

I put in for all three Scotland matches, an Argentina match in Dallas, and a Netherlands match in Houston.

Really hoping for one of the Scotland matches!

Me too. I already have my casual/drinking kilt ready. I'm thinking my best bet would be to try and say in Providence. I don't want to rent a car but I might have to.

I absolutely respect and appreciate that budgets are different, but if you can afford Category 1 or 2, you'll have a much better chance of actually getting tickets.

Category 3 has very limited availability.

Hotels in Boston are BONKERS....I have a free place to stay in Miami, so I'm kinda hoping for the Brazil match from a cost perspective but I'd really like to piggy back a Red Sox game at Fenway.....I'd be thrilled with any combination

FIFA and hotels are doing everything in their power to make sure nobody can travel and attend this world cup.

Just wait until you get there and it's a $400 Uber ride each way.

But yeah, they're making this soooo difficult to justify to my wife

This isnt ticket related, but this goal was so nasty from Morocco it had to be shared.

So what is the FIFA protocol since Iran is supposedly pulling out of the World Cup. Who gets to replace them? Zero chance they let those games not happen and have to refund the tickets

Did Iran withdraw from the World Cup? Possible Replacements, Punishment
Quote:

No. Although Donyamali's words sounded definitive, Iran has not yet officially informed FIFA that it is withdrawing from the World Cup.

Until that is made official, Iran is still in the tournament.

Quote:

According to FIFA's World Cup regulations: "If any Participating Member Association withdraws and/or is excluded from the FIFA World Cup 26, FIFA shall decide on the matter at its sole discretion and take whatever action is deemed necessary."

Quote:

The March 31 date looms large for FIFA. If Iran does withdraw from the World Cup before then, Iraq could be given Iran's spot and be replaced in the playoff by the next AFC team up, the United Arab Emirates.




The "...for their own life and safety" is a nice touch. But it looks like we are in "wait and see" mode

This ahole really is just ****ing up international relations for the one event I've been looking forward to since I was a kid in 1994.
