I was so pleased to see the back of Blatter, but Infantino is even worse. All he cares about is making money and arse-licking the rich, famous and powerful. Ordinary football fans - f**k 'em. Scum.

FIFA have to pay for the Orange Baby's peace prize somehow - it looked like it was cast in solid gold!

It will carry on as long as people pay the prices.

Interesting to see UEFA’s recent news for the 2028 Euros. Minimum 10,000 tickets to each FA for each game.

The Scottish FA have been given 3,800 tickets for their first 2 games in Boston in a 70,000 seat stadium.

Just 3,800 tickets - that is a piss take!

With the number of Boston inhabitants who can claim Scottish heritage, coupled with those Scots who, given their age, will feel it's probably going to be their last chance to see Scotland in a World Cup final, the Scots would probably fill that stadium on their own.

Re: How can FIFA justify these prices?

I paid $1300 for 2 tickets directly from FIFA for a numbered game which turned out to be Norway v Senegal.

If Wales qualify I'll sell them and go to Toronto or LA.

I must be totally out of touch with the cost of football these days (the last game I attended was China vs Wales).
$1,300 for two tickets is absolutely absurd!
I just can't get my head around some of the ticket pricing and hotel rooms mentioned in this thread.

No doubt a chunk of tickets will go to tour operators who can then sell flight/hotel/match ticket packages...at a cost. If Trump gets his way, he'll do everything to make team USA look good (and therefore himself) and effectively cut off as many supporters from other countries as possible visiting USA with visa restrictions. No doubt the corporate tickets for USA matches will go to organisations that have already made substantial donations to the Republican party thus helping to keep the real fans out. And, did I read correctly, apart from giving your social media history, the proposal is that you will have to give your DNA and family details to get into USA?

So this is why the tin foil was sold out at Aldi the other day.

that's ridiculous - the atmosphere's going to be crap with a load of neutral spectators and a few thousand people who actually care about the result.

I went to see Barcelona play at home a few seasons back and there was a very significant proportion of the fans who seemed to be neutrals politely clapping when the goals went in.

It's not for normal fans like us Paul.

There's only 20k season tickets on sale at Anfield now. Growing trend, it's all about getting the tourists in
