Comment on 2022 vs. 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket prices

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?

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.

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.
