World Cup tickets

As bad as things are now getting for international travel and tourism to the US, it shall surely dip lower in a year

Locals probably have a better chance at WC tickets than at any previous recent world cups

Give me a break, international fans will show up in droves to watch their home country matches in the US.

1.5 million people applied for tickets on the first day of presale.
On the first day.
You have a better chance of winning Powerball than you do of getting a World Cup ticket.

It's simple to get world cup tickets - really. They've been giving away Right to buy licenses in their digital collectible junk for months and there is an entire secondary market with quite reasonable prices for them.

In the history of the modern world cup, I doubt getting tickets is simple, except for the very connected or rich

They haven't been giving them away...they've been selling them for a fortune. They were giving away Club World Cup tickets when you bought a World Cup license...maybe that's your confusion.

They've been including them in their garbage digital packs. Yes, not cheaply, but the PP said there was no way to get tickets, and yet - https://www.fifacollectanalytics.com/marketplace - there they are at a variety of price points. There are also wildly overpriced hospitality packages.

Expensive, yes. I'll be entering the lotto and buying after market like most people.

What exactly is the RTB? Is it just that? You are paying a fee to be able to buy a ticket? Wtf

Yup it's crazy and terrible - you also don't get to pick where, no cap on the cost, and it could even be for one of several games. It is however a guarantee to see a game if you have one and buy the ticket.

For group stage I think its nuts, unless people are gambling that they can get great seats they can resell. If you are content with upper deck it'd be a waste.

They're not actually giving away the tickets; you pay a fee for the right to buy the tickets later. They're giving away a shortcut to buy them. I opted not to pay $400 on top of whatever the tickets cost, as most people I'm sure did (including you).
