    The dome is a premium experience. Depending on where your seats are in the stadium; the dome is probably a better experience. But $715 is a bit too much. I'm going to tomorrow's FA Cup Final, paid $75 for each ticket in the dome.

    Cosm also offers General admission for $12 which is a great experience. Parking is free for 4 hours.

    The most unanticipated FA Cup Final in history. Still debating whether to move into the other room and watch it for nothing.

    Am doing 2 matches in general admission and 1 match with reserved hall seating.
    Dallas is all coming together. Jerry World, Cosm and the Grassy Knoll.

    Ps - currently on way to Wembley.

    Not me personally but my sister has been to Europe multiple times and it was not easy for her to find free toilets.
    She also mentioned that in Paris guys just urinate in the open air in the streets at weird looking outdoor urinals. It is odd.

    Not sure how it is these days but many years ago it was common for guys in Europe to just pee on street corners.

    I mean this is definitely a thing. The lack of public toilets is often talked about as a problem here in Sweden.

    I am sure there are some exceptions in Europe but there being a shortage seems to be a common problem.

    It's a combination of things. One being not being certain they will be there. It's pretty standard for the government to say 1 thing, and then do the opposite. All the optics are there as if they will be there, but all it'll take is for someone to decide it's not happening and then it'll be pulled. So I can see that being a factor. One of the main reasons though, is the team itself being made a pro-regime poster at the moment. Some of the outspoken players have been ommitted from the provisional squad (Azmoun, one of the better players has been banned because he took a photo with a UAE royal for example) and I think this will put a lot of people off. As diaspora, it's hard to be going to a game celebrating a football game, when the majority of their family is stuck in the middle of a war that will inevitably start again soon.

    I say this as a dual national, who will be going to LA for my 3rd WC. For what it's worth, I do think Iran will be there playing, but these are general sentiments and some reasons I see as to why tickets aren't going as you would expect.

    I was going to mention Paris pissoirs. That is what they're called, seriously. We have some in London in parts of the West End and Camden.

    Clearly this is a major cultural issue. A tip for anyone in London, all the major museums are free and have toilets. I sometimes use the ones in the Tate Modern or the Royal Festival Hall if I'm on the South Bank.

    Politically related, some see supporting the team as supporting the government etc etc. I'm not one of those people. Also the question on whether they eventually make it or not.


    I do think Iran-New Zealand has sold a good amount of tickets which I am going to.

    According to the below article(take it with a grain of salt) 50k tickets were sold already at time or article.

    Dallas Fan Festival tickets now available, ranging from free to $250

    https://www.dallasfwc26.com/fifafanfestival-dallas/

    I'm going on the 19th and have opted to pay the middle tier $50 for a couple of reasons. The US are playing on that day, so I figured it's likely to be popular and the free tickets don't guarantee access, plus I think there's more chance of it being a little less hectic and have a better chance of getting some shade.

    Then I can potentially stay on and watch Scotland get battered :)

    Now I'm waiting for the New York tennis centre tickets to be released so I can combine a visit there with the Mets game I have booked.

    The urinal tree, when implemented correctly, is one of the greatest inventions.

    We are less than a month away and I still haven't heard anything about actual tickets. Isn't there supposed to be a FIFA app or something? Is that available for download? Or will I hopefully get tickets that I can put on my phone wallet? When are we getting those?

    Earlier this week I received an email from our FA saying FIFAs ticketing app + the tickets would be released this week. There was another user here who got the same information from a different FA. Should mean they release it today at the very latest?

    Has anyone heard or seen something from FIFA regarding this?

    2022 app came online 30 days before M1. But currently you can see all the ticketing info online. Even the ticket number. You can sell, and send tickets to someone else. Not sure why anyone needs to see it online right now.

    Likely. FIFA has delayed the app drop for reasons they only know.
    youll have a great time. Closest thing to being in the game.
