Going to North America '26: tickets, accommodations, etc. (non-politics)

Yep, all the time. No hassles at all. I have 2 accounts with tickets in both. The second one is my son's but I pay the bills....

 

And those of us old enough know the hockey season used to end earlier. Though by1994, the NHL playoffs had already started to get pushed back into June, but there was still only some overlap between the NBA and Stanley Cup finals, not full overlap like recently. The Stanley Cup finals were still over before the WC started, even though it went to 7 games that year.

 

Seatgeek and others are cutting off at 4 hours prior to the match. People searching for a last minute deal need to keep that in mind

All Listings Disabled Before Kickoff

Because of FIFA's pre-match transfer cutoff, SeatGeek's current plan is to automatically turn off all World Cup listings 4 hours before each match.

 

These were legit fwiw. I ended up getting 14th row midfield in the lower level at the same time for ~$750 CAD (saw some more in the area for just over $1K so felt like this was quite the misprice).

With that I am done looking for tickets and can actually look forward to the games lol

 

Thanks for the heads up on the timing. Hopefully there's WiFi on the plane as I might not have touched down in Boston. Based on what I saw on Reddit earlier today I'm not sure Scotland Haiti is going to throw up any bargain/better seats last minute.

 

Regarding City vibes--we're seeing 3 games in Seattle (from Portland) and Seattle is VERY excited about WC. I think it's going to be a fun city to see games in. Hope they don't mind my Timbers gear.....

 

There are stories in UK media about some Scotland fans having their ESTA authorisation status changed at the last moment. Anybody know more about this? Very strange to go from "approved" to "not authorised". Also strange that there aren't similar stories about England supporters.

 

I have received the email from FIFA that my mobile ticket is available. However, it is not showing up in the app. I sent an enquiry to FIFA using the enquiry form and the reply which is automated appears to be a rehash of what's stated in the FAQ. Anyone facing similar ticketing issues as well?

 

I have 1 ticket that is not manageable in my account (bought on same FIFA drop a month ago and the other tickets are all transferable)

Just getting AI responses from FIFA to try a different device etc, which has been zero help

 

Was a phenomenal atmosphere. Super impressive. Definitely some German representation but very heavy us tilted

 

I have 2 other tickets (lottery and LMS) which I am able to see and access in the app. Just the third one (lottery) which is not in the app even though I received the automated email from FIFA (in May) that the mobile ticket is available.

 

So...who's doing the 70%-off dumping of 50+ tickets on a Sunday morning, and how many more are still to come? Could be On Location but you'd think they'd have something a little more elegant (and a lot less drastic) planned for their unsolds?

 

Is the fan fest in Boston free?

 

Been dumping them consistenty all week. Can see a ton on Ticketmaster as well now (admittedly a bit higher price but still)

 

Also , the best referee in Africa has been denied entry

Because he's Somali

Human Rights Conscious Fans shall keep note

 

That's even more surprising when you consider Scotland fans will only be around for the group phase.

We dont like when Homie goes off on tangents and we shouldn't like whatever the heck this post was.

Not the thread for this. Rants probably best for this thread: Find another thread for it.

Amazing post in the tickets, accommodation thread. Huge thanks.

 

I was checking the scanner. No tickets on Resale for Game 4 ? How possible ?

 

Ahem. 1994 is calling from the Pontiac Silverdome where the USA opener had 73,425 fans (77,557 capacity) and there weren't that many Swiss there.

Then the next two matches sold out the Rose Bowl with a capacity of 93,869. Granted, there were probably tons of Colombians for their 2nd match, but I can't picture that many Romanians in the crowd for that 3rd match.

And finally, I was there on the 4th of July at Stanford Stadium for Brazil v USA, with a sellout of 84,147. I don't remember what they said about the crowd, but it seemed like at least 60% in my section were Americans.

 

I saw the same thing. Obviously all these tickets were not suddenly sold in the last hour. Is it to get the rest of the LM sales out of the door? Interesting. Edit - they are back now.

Platini just sued Infantino... should I bet $10 on France loses all games +30000? I could then buy a semifinal ticket.

 

You sound like a pleasant guy, bet you are fun at parties.
