How do you view your SFA tickets in the FIFA app, totally forgotten how to view.

Joined the queue and got in about 3 hours later. When the countdown started a customer came in with 18mins to go, should have taken 2 mins, he stayed for 30mins, don’t ask!

Stopped him when it reached zero, he didn’t like it….then no tickets available and a call from him to my boss 😂 Can’t justify the resale prices as they currently are but we continue with hope! Hate FIFA the greedy bastards. See you all in Boston 👍

No Q at all this morning to get onto the FIFA Platform. But only a small selection of matches showing (same ones as late yesterday).

 

This drip feeding of tickets onto it could go on for ages. They appear to be starting with Cat 1's. Either because they are most of what they have left or they will be the hardest to sell. It's the only Scotland Tickets being purchased recently (from comments).

Vivid seats have now pushed back the deadline for my Haiti tickets to be delivered to the afternoon of the 13th of June (it was initially the morning of the 11th). I’m assuming they are hoping for the prices to plunge the day of the match.

I suppose it makes sense to sell the poor Cat 1 seats first when everyone is still scrambling for tickets. Still difficult to tell how many Scots intend to travel, some wide ranging predictions. Of the 20 or so people I know that are going, around half have tickets already.

The moral of this story is to hold your nerve. They will plunge come match day or the days before.

HOLD!!

100%. Now is not the time to buy if you are looking for best seats or best price imo.

I remain genuinely surprised how many Scots committed to going to the US without tickets. I wouldn't have entertained spending thousands to stand 20 miles away from stadiums or in different cities and see less than I would in my house. Fair play to those who do that. There clearly are a lot more of them than I expected. Most of the people I know that are going have tickets because mostly I know them from going to Scotland games but I do know more than a dozen who are going with no tickets currently. To be fair, some of those could drop £2,000 in the street and not notice it mind you! Those ones will get tickets, they are just holding off for now to see what the resale price drops to. I still know half a dozen or so that are going with no expectation of tickets though.

Yup, see you up there! You can have a shot of my opera glasses in exchange for a beer.

Deal! Haha. 

It'll be like watching an old game of Champ Man from up there!

Got category 2 tickets on the resale platform this morning for $800 each (plus the 15% fee)

Disgusting pricing all in but a lot better than the ones I saw yesterday and would rather the peace of mind of getting from Fifa themselves. 

Basically just keep looking because they're popping up.

I think you’ve done the right thing.

Its shite but waiting til mid day on the day of the game for a ticket that may or may not show up - not my idea of a fun few months.

Also you’ve paid $800 - some in the SSC paid $600. They’d have spent $200 minimum travelling to the extra trip so you’re even there. 
 

Lastly - yes they may come up for $400/500 but the sake of $300 you can now chill and not need to check every 10 minutes.

IDK. I really smell a rat here. The Last Minute Portal opened 2 days ago. In only 2 Days, from 6 hour waits originally. There are parts of the day where you can log straight into the portal with ZERO wait time. That reduction is in ONLY 2 days. I have been able to log straight in from 7am this morning.

It just does not stack up with this being anywhere close to a sell out tournament at this point. The more I read and the more I see the more I think the 3M Tickets Sold Estimate (just before this Sales Phase started) is accurate.

I keep popping onto the Resale site, but it winds me up each time - so I need to stop doing it so often.  The worst thing about it is it shows the range of price for each Category they have for sale, yet when you try to get anything - the tickets are about ten times the price it shows.  I just tried to get Cat 2 tickets for Haiti which it said were $480, yet the cheapest ones were more than $2k each when I added them to my basket!

The whole thing stinks, and you wonder how many fans they've prevented from attending due to their pure greed.  I've committed to go with my 18 year old daughter, and would much rather get tickets via the Fifa site sitting together than go through the stress of waiting for a ticket on the day of the game.  I appreciate I'll have to pay more for this, but it's worth the peace of mind from my perspective.

I was with a mate in Germany, who was waiting for a ticket for the Switzerland match and it didn't ever show up.  He got his money back from the ticket site, but that's very little consolation when you've not got to go to the game.

I hope that prices drop over the coming weeks and months, and most of all I really hope that a whole load of these touts get absolutely stung with tickets they can't shift.  Imagine the backlash FIFA will get if there are thousands of empty seats to any of these games they could easily have filled had they given more tickets to each participating country.

A lot of us who narrowly missed out on Travel Club tickets would have paid the Cat 1 price (rather than be in this horrible limbo situation), but $600 a ticket simply wasn't enough for Infantino & Co.  I've not missed a Scotland tournament match since 1992, but think that run is in real danger of coming to an end...

You just have to keep an eye on things.

I’m looking for another Brazil Ticket and there was a Scotland PMA Cat 1 ticket ( $700 cost ) in Marketplace this morning at $890 ( Plus 15%). Swithered about it, but 10 minutes later it was gone. 

Theres been a few Scotland PMA for all matches on Marketplace 15-20 % above cost where folks are looking to move on and recoup their costs. These are the exceptions though

I'd have thought if you were a Scottish supporter and you had a ticket you couldn't use (for whatever reason), one of the first ports of call would be to come on here knowing you're selling to a genuine fan and you're helping them save 15% and also saving 15% for yourself by not helping FIFA make more money.  That's certainly what I'd do anyway...

100%. The pricing of those tickets that are in the SSC end for example tells you the sellers motivation isn't about wanting to help out a fellow fan who is desperate for a ticket but 'what is the absolute maximum profit I could get here'. They know there is a huge demand for our tickets and the ones in our official allocation will be hugely sought after. Just comes across as "I know you are desperate for this ticket but I'm going to charge you an absolute premium for it on top of what I paid for it in February".

If you want to pay now then you can do so to give yourself peace of mind but moral of the story is, prices will fall the closer we reach matchday. It's early days right now as the market only just reopened yesterday and sellers are just testing the waters hoping for a desperate buyer to pop up and click on the 'pay now' button. Bottom line is early resale for unwanted/unsold tickets = seller-driven. Late resale for unwanted/unsold tickets = buyer-driven.

Don't panic Troops.

 

I just counted Haiti ticketd for Sale on FIFA re-sell Marketplace: 500

There are probably another 500 listed on all the other scalper sites compbined.

Probably a load of Cat 3's to sell from FIFA. They seem to be trying to punt Cat 1's first as those are the only ones seem to be appearing on the last-minute sale since that kicked off.

 

The smart man knowing this forgets about this show and comes back mid May. Unfortunately, I can't stop Myself looking and hoping like everybody else looking for tickets.
