Soccer / Football Thread Part Seven

Yup, you and Chelsea are the two I keep seeing.

I won’t be sad to see him go, to be honest. Very skilled, pretty quick, but he just makes such terrible decisions constantly. Obviously he’s still really young but even compared to other young(er) guys on Dortmund he seems to just negate the positives so often.

Plus, he’s been checked out for a while and hasn’t been playing a lot. He made it very clear he wants to leave and after a particularly horrible game by him he even got into it with the fans while walking off. :laugh:

Sounds like more Martinelli music.

Hopefully you guys beat us. He feels like the typical Chelsea signing. We need Rodrygo, Leao or Williams.

Hell fit right in with our wingers we have now then. A perfect Mudryk replacement, actually.

Williams would be my ideal target but have you seen the reported wage demands to make his take home pay equivalent to current? Rules ua out if true.

Does anyone here have any history with World Cup tickets?

I can't say I expected anything differently with how the United States handles its sporting events compared to the rest of the world but i'm still shocked at the sticker price. They're not going to fill these stadiums unless there's secondary options out there.

Just like every other big sporting event out there in the States, the World Cup has partnered with legalized scalping company, On Location, to handle at least a good part of their tickets for the upcoming World Cup.

I say legalized scalping because they add on stuff like a "party" to the tickets in order to call it an experience and now they can charge whatever they want.

The prices finally came out for these events and, well, they're not pretty.

You can attend every game that will be held at the Linc (five group stage and one round of 32) for $8,650 at the cheapest price tier they have so double that if you want a pair.

I imagine that other avenues will become available but at least for the time being... one game is roughly on par with a season ticket for the big Euro clubs.

There's no way that people from the rest of the world will pay those types of prices. They'll burn everything down and they rightfully should.

What are the approx prices, for example, for group stage matches?
 
There’s already been a significant drop in demand for travel to America. Hard to say what it will look like a year from now.

I saw something similar out here.

Though I no longer am a Whitecaps STH, I still get some benefits from being one in the past.

One was to secure seats to all of the Vancouver based games in my former section for something like $6K per ticket. There were also suite options.

FIFA is just setting a high bar for those that want immediate access and want to avoid the lottery system for the GA ticket release.

I imagine that was through the same company or the Canadian equivalent. The email I got today mentioned we’d be able to buy Canadian or Mexican city games later this year (along with single games).

Similar to Fanatics, they’ve been poisoning the well when it comes to tickets here in the States. Hell, they’re taking over The Masters next year “entirely” from what I read.

The cheapest available at the Linc (Philadelphia) ranged from $1200 each to $1350 each for Group State. These seats being in the lower level corner.

Getting a real steal compared to the MetLife (New York) package of every game where that’s $52,000 for a pair (includes the Final).

Why does that Inter kit look like the designer had a stroke midway?
