Although I was tempted to buy on the FIFA RESELLthe other day. $690 each for 2x Cat's 2's for the 1st KO in Boston. It seems to have disappeared, but, only went up to $759 each if anoyone wants to take a punt on us finishing 3rd and qualifying. It's a 70% chance we would be in Boston.

He seemed to actively despise us when we were murder rather than try and support us. There’s many of them and it shouldn’t annoy me but it does. If he was chocolate he’d eat himself. Him and his mate that used to write in the sun that was chaperoning him about Germany He was meant of said he was trying to keep a low profile while wearing a giant pair of Aldi sunglasses and I’m sure here was carrying an inflatable hammer or something while making a complete nuisance of himself Ranvir and Christine won’t need to worry about any lack of gigs in June either Quote
PSJ84 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Gordon Smart is a bit of an arse too - and that’s before factoring in taking a pay cheque from The Sun. Not on the levels of Compston though. Quote
Grantyboy1983 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Sounds like a new thread for Scottish celebrities/twats attending the games in Boston/Miami is required. Let's keep this one on topic. Quote
giblet Posted January 13 Posted January 13 on the FIFA resale price, the actual price of the ticket once you select your category and go through to the basket area is often cheaper than what they are saying is lowest price. 4 mates got tickets for $590 Category 3 last Thursday night as example for the Haiti game. Morocco tickets are stubbornly high, think they have a large diaspora in the States as well as us keeping that high. Quote

Craig Fae Hamilton Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 Just had a quick check of Ticket prices on FIFA Resell Marketplace. Tickets for both Morocco and Haiti are still about the same price as my flights to and from the USA. I don't think this is going to change until much much closer to the game! Quote

Obviously I’m just guessing here but I’d agree. likelihood is that they may even go up in price following the results of the lottery as those who were unsuccessful enter a period of desperation and start hoovering up anything they can get their hands on.

I also agree! lol Then when the prices are inflated, FIFA will release the final Sales phase at an artificially inflated price that will seem cheap compared to the resell market. They will keep those prices until much closer to the Tournament then slowly reduce the prices until Stadiums sell out. The Club World Cup had tickets going for $15. This ain't the Club World Cup but the FIFA Dynamic Pricing concept is exactly the same. Quote
Flying Fish Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Just looking at the marketplace, most games are still marked as "limited availability". Three matches are not - Scotland - Haiti, Saudi - Uruguay and Iran - New Zealand. Prices are still high for the Scotland game but perhaps an indication that there might be more availability leading to lower prices. We can hope. Quote
PORTY Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I took a punt early on and bought a ticket for Canada playing in Vancouver. I’m selling it on in FIFA Marketplace. Last couple of days Canada matches are showing no tickets for resale. They are still there and if you click you can buy tickets. FIFA playing games. Quote
Saul Tyer Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Could be a dumb question but can ai resell Brazil v Scotland tickets from GoTickets on the FIFA marketplace? Looking to offload 2 tickets in cat 4. Quote

uber_shnuber Posted January 28 Posted January 28 The FIFA marketplace is set to close again next month for an unknown period of time. Just a heads up to those who are waiting before jumping in for tickets. Also worth keeping an eye out for when it will reopen; we got lucky and went on the marketplace the minute it reopened (after it closed in Dec) and managed to bag some Haiti tickets at under face value! When it closed previously they allowed people access to list tickets for sale a few days before you were able to go on and buy them (though no prices were visible until it reopened fully). They may do the same this time, which means it's more difficult for sellers to gauge the going rate meaning some might undercut themselves, or there could be a handful of folk just after their money back... The FIFA Resale Marketplace will be temporarily closed starting on 22 February 2026 at 11:00 am (Eastern Time) / 17:00 (Central European Time). The Marketplace reopening date will be communicated in due course. If you plan to list your tickets on the FIFA Resale Marketplace, or have already listed them, please note that you will not have access to the Marketplace during the closure period. As a result, the following actions will not be possible: 1. Reselling tickets 2. Withdrawing listings 3. Transferring tickets using the Ticket Transfer feature 4. Purchasing tickets If you have used the Ticket Transfer functionality and the recipient has not accepted the transfer before the closure begins, ownership of the tickets will automatically revert to you. You will need to resend the transfer once the Marketplace reopens. Please also note that: 1. Any tickets currently listed for resale, as well as any ticket transfers that have not yet been accepted, will be returned to your FIFA ticketing account 2. You may make changes to your Marketplace account and listings before the closure period begins 3. No action is required from you during the closure period 4. All Marketplace services will resume once the Marketplace reopens Quote
AlfieMoon Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I’m confused at the layout of the marketplace website. Why are there multiple lines all showing the same price range? When I click into the each row, it may have a drop-down showing 1/2/3/4 tickets available. Is this tickets that FIFA are grouping together? Any ticket I put into my basket is priced towards the lower end of the range. I’ve yet to see any ticket priced anywhere close to the upper end of the range. Are those sitting somewhere in a queue but FIFA are selling thru the cheaper resale tix first? Quote
PORTY Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Yes, they are in there in price order. My problem is that I am trying to sell a Canada ticket and there are no prices in Cat 1 or 2. If you click on the drop down as in amount of tickets, they are there to be bought. So, are FIFA playing games? People are thinking that they are sold out and get more desperate? Not great for seller. Quote

I’ve yet to see any ticket priced anywhere close to the upper end of the range. Are those sitting somewhere in a queue but FIFA are selling thru the cheaper resale tix first? FIFA will always allocate the cheapest tickets available in the chosen category (though keep in mind the price may not be the same for all the tickets if buying multiples*), so the higher price is just nonsense. I looked into this a bit previously, and apparently the reason some of them have more than one option in the same category is to do with when the tickets were originally purchased (Visa Pre Sale/Early Ticket Draw/FIFA Collect). From a buyers point of view it makes no difference which of the drop downs (in the same category) you select. You'll be allocated the cheapest available tickets at the point you select them no matter when they were bought. It's not been absolutely confirmed that this is the case but seems to be widely accepted as there is no other obvious reason for it. *Just to add that if the tickets for the same category come up as different prices when added to your basket then they are most likely from different original orders. That's not to say it will make any difference when it comes to seat allocation etc but might increase the risk of seats not being together. But no one really knows!

It makes it a pain in the arse to simply check the price tickets are going for because you need to add every single one to your Basket before you see the price then remove them. Reason I am a cynic is I think prices are dropping. And they don't want them to drop too far before the shoot up again after the Random Draw and PMA Ticket Lotteries are completed and Millions of avid fans who probably follow their NAtional Teams take to the Resell Market and push prices back up again. Reason I think this is that scalpers are now shifting Haiti tickets at $560. It's only $60 more than what HALF of SSC Members are having to pay for their tickets. Yes, it will be probably lower Category (maybe), but this SCALPER Price at this point makes me think their will be HUGE Drops later. This allows FIFA to start their LAST CHANCE SALE with higher ticket costs which will look cheap in comparison to the SKY HIGH Resell Prices. It will be easy into May before they start to reduce the prices to sell out the Stadia with Americans who were not that interested in buying tickets at teh start of the process. For ths who think the prices will fall by quite a margin (me included), we have a long wait and holding our nerve is going to be quite a challenge! But, like @uber_shnubersaid, we are all just guessing where this is going. Great post by the way Uber!

Certainly something to keep an eye on if I can. Not a chance my 11 points will be getting me a ticket to the Haiti match by the looks of it. Quote

My prediction is FIFA will advise our games are sold out which should keep prices highish. And then drip feed remaining tickets (bad cat 1 seats) onto the re-sale market. After ensuring everyone who is a fan of the participating teams has been fleeced, they will release 10,000-20,000 (good cat 1 seats) to the last minute dynamic sale which will result in prices dropping if these are slow to sell at $500.
