Boycotting the World Cup

Almost every game is sold out. On the east coast there is a single game with tickets available in both Atlanta and Miami. There are only 8 games across every country that have minimal tickets remaining.

It was wishful thinking that a boycott would influence attendance.

I just looked, and that is not what I’m seeing. Looks like there are plenty of tickets available. I saw some for as low as $320.

Imo, it is not really about a boycott. It is the fact that foreigners are afraid to come here because the chances of them being plucked off the streets and thrown in a detention center for no reason are >0.

In addition to Trump and his ilk ruining this once in a lifetime event for us, there is also the simple fact that Americans do not appreciate soccer like most of the world does. Politics aside, if I was overseas and deciding where to go, I would choose Mexico because I would expect the atmosphere to be much more festive. I live in a host city, and the city is really trying to hype it up. But I rarely hear anyone talk about it, and I don’t know anyone who is going. People are excited about the infrastructure improvements that have been pushed through to get ready for it. But people are kinda blah about the actual soccer.

yes, have heard that some consular officers seriously wonder how the refund will happen, if at all.

They won’t see a refund because it’s a random charge made up by Trump and the money is going right into Trump’s pocket.

There are only limited tickets available for 8 of the 104 WC matches. There are none available for any matches in Atlanta, Boston, New York, or Philadelphia.

Resellers always have tickets. The point is that 99.9% of the World Cup tickets have been purchased from the original source, FIFA.

So?
The question is whether anyone will actually attend the games in the U.S. It seems unlikely that a lot of foreigners will come and not sure soccer has a big MAGA fan base.

I’m very heartened that Italy will be leading the boycott.

I get that you hate Trump. We ALL hate Trump.

But this is a painfully stupid stretch. It’s eye rollingly, facepalmingly dumb. And it makes the rest of us look as crazy as you by association.


So please, knock this stupid sh!t off.

As a person that bought hospitality packages I can confidently say that if someone couldn’t understand where they’d be inside the stadium they have many more problems than soccer tickets.
