Russia 2018: Ticket Thread (sales at face-value ONLY)

For anyone who wants to go to Belgium vs France last second, there are a ton of sellers outside the stadium.

 

Need any quantity of tickets for the final if anyone is selling? Drop me a message on here

 

Drinking my expensive canned orange juice in hospitality lounge of M61 the lounge is crowded and lively though. Decent drinks menu, basic food menu. I was afraid I will find old corporate crowd but it's the normal football crowd. Hope it's going to be a good game.

 

Got lucky with these seats at FV!!! ))

 

I thought hospitality was a bit more glamorous than Coke from plastic bottles and canned orange juice

 

It’s shit, not worth the money IMHO

 

Lol

 

I have two Match 63 tickets ( seats next to each other) for sale at face value- Category 3 Lower tier row 18 ... no interest in seeing Belgium vs ? England. I’ll be in St. Petersburg from Friday morning. Pm me if interested.

 

By the way, if anyone is interested, we made it to the train station just now after the end of the match, so the 12:30 AM Train is doable (if there are no ET/PK)

 

I have 1 ticket (cat. 2) to sell for the semifinal CRO v ENG in moscow.
now I am stay in st. Petersburg and go with the Train to moscow (arrivaltime on wednesday at 12:58 in moscow leningradsky Station with Train #757)

 

Definetly was not a snoozefest, first half could have been 1:1 or 2:2 or anything in beween.Somehow nobody really wanted to play after 80-81min. Will see how the second sf would be like.

 

Incredibly upset tonight. But well done France. M64 will be bittersweet. If they didn't have silly Mbappe I would have supported them in the final.

 

What commemorative gift did you get?

 

Mbappe wanted to grab the ball and run away with it like a silly kid. Gosh, why can't they play full 90 min? Croatians/russians managed 120.

 

A pair of very silly looking sunglasses

 

Great game. Sold 1 ticket at $300 and other one remaining unsold. CAT 1s both of them. Saw the police nab at least 5 people and question ticket sales, which I have not seen in previous 8 games. Anyone selling tickets, police came up and said, FIFA rules you cannot sell tickets outside the stadium. A Mexican guy was warned twice and third time they took his tickets away. If this is the same case in Moscow, no way anyone else is going to be standing and offering tickets for too long without getting in trouble.

Don't bet on getting tickets outside the stadium for Moscow SF or Final. Try to pickup at the FIFA drop.

 

They didn't even give a Hospitality back pack this time for Match Club tickets.

 

when would the next FIFA ticket drops be? Wednesday morning and Thursday morning, or just Thursday morning/afternoon? any times that have seemed to be the times they do these drops? thanks in advance for any advice,

 

It's never a wise idea to sell them right in front of the stadium. I attended 5 matches, including those at both stadiums in Moscow and one in St Petersburg and haven't seen more than 3 people offer tickets there.

300 for 2 Cat 1 tickets is sad though.

 

Hahaha! So much for the glamour of hospitality hope you had fun though! I'll share my experience, too!

 

I had more than 15 offers in the $150-$200 range. I rather keep the stub as a collection item since that's worth $50-$100 anytime in the future. So many extra tickets for this game. Volunteers were being moved from standing to sitting in CAT 1 lower level prime locations to show on TV that the stadium was full.

 

This happened in Swe-Sui too in this same stadium. A volunteer sat behind me in 2nd half.
At least they rewarded those kids which is nice.

Honestly I think Cat1 tickets are scandalously overpriced and am not at all surprised that people weren't rushing to pay 750$ for them, especially those that aren't at best locations.
I think there should be at least 5-6 categories.

 

I read up about hospitality so my expectations were pretty low. I actually had a good dinner with a friend before heading to the stadium so there was nothing to look forward to. I see hospitality as stubhub division of FIFA, unfortunately this match tickets were the least sought after in the entire tournament so you don't even get the satisfaction of holding a sought after ticket in hand.

The match was boring to be honest - very dull atmosphere in the stadium, last 15 minutes hardly had any play. MBappe did good but then he ruins it by doing cheap stuff. If the final happens to be France vs Croatia, then I am very sure CAT 1s and 2s will be below face value. No way public would pay 1100/750 USD for that match.

It's getting duller very quickly. After today's match even though France looked solid, I would not want them to win the cup. I am supporting Croatia to lift the cup, they have great crowd and amazing song to play after the goals. I enjoyed Croatia Russia match so much more than today's SF - complete opposite of my initial expectations.

 

Seriously, was like watching paint dry

 

I stop buying Cat 1 after my first World Cup, always Cat 2 or 3, unless they are sold out. Cat 1 is too expensive for average fans.
