It's not for normal fans like us Paul.
Am i reading this right, the cheapest tickets available are over £3k?
Maybe you get a replica FIFA Peace Prize to go with the ticket?Quote:

Shocking.Plus Trump is going to check everyones social media.They'll be giving the tickets out to school kids.
I watched Nottingham Forest beat Malmö in the European Cup Final in Munich in 1979 - and paid DM11 (£2.58) for a ticket.
By the way, when Wales were at the Euro finals in Frrance, I purchased a ticket for Austria v Hungary at 100 Euros - but on the way to the ground they could be picked up en masse for 10 Euros a head.
Isn't that like the pathway ticket, assuming your team goes all the way?Quote:

It's priced for the Americans who are used to high event pricing and generally have more disposable income. Seems ridiculous to most of us but if people still pay it then it's hard to argue against.
I suspect the obscure fixtures will collapse in price in the days before.
The sad thing is it’s not really a surprise.
The big question is where will the bulk of the money go. Won’t benefit the grass roots game.
Due to being played in three countries imagine the travel cost for fans as well.
You can get a return flight from Cardiff to Toronto for just over £1k to take in Wales' first game if we qualify. Hope there's a decent fan park.
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.
My Ticket for Wales v USA in Qatar was $347.
If we make it there, Toronto v Canada is what I was thinking.
Those prices though are really taking the piss.
Surely not, it’s the land of free speech.Quote:

I know it’s mental money but , for us it’s possibley the last time we will see Scotland in the finals .
I looked at going to Boston to catch the Haiti and Morocco game in a week with my partner . Cheapest hotel was £6000 …. I had to give that one a miss .
Just after we booked TUI Edinburgh were offering flights and a hotel in Miami for £1300 5 nights I think it was … so don’t rush into anything if Wales get through 👍
They can'tQuote:

You need to be total moron to pay those prices and visit a third world country
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.
been like this for yearsQuote:

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!Quote:

I must be totally out of touch with the cost of football these days (the last game I attended was China vs Wales).Quote:

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.Quote:
