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.

 

There's literally no Scotland tickets that have appeared on the FIFA Last Minute Sales page since yesterday iirc. Surely if the Cat 1 tickets are gone and there indeed are Cat 2 & Cat 3 tickets available then why don't they just release them now? Unless and this is a big 'IF' that they have sold out all their tickets and the only ones left are your Marketplace ones? Only group games that I can see on that FIFA Last Minute Sales page are Canada vs Bosnia, USA vs Paraguay, Netherlands vs Sweden and South Africa vs South Korea. The rest are the knockout rounds.

They are selling them in Batch's so they don't crash current prices. And they could have a lot of batch's to sell. Only people buying now are people like us, the hard core fans. They won't release cheaper tickets of any kind until all the hard core fans have had an opportunity to pay crazy $'s for a ticket.

I stupidly booked flights the minute the Draw was made. I just stupidly expected that the rest would be fine.

 

If I had not booked those flights. I would not have went. The World Cup should not be like this.

it really shouldn’t.  It feels like a total shafting of fans rather than a celebration of football.

johnny Infantino is to blame.  

commericalisation of the game has ruined it.  
I will settle for watchjng the big match revisited on itv4 at 10.30 when football was good.

That there are still tickets on sale on FIFA for both Canada and USA opening games(over $2000 each) tells you a lot about FIFA getting this wrong.

What I don’t get is why there aren’t tickets available for the games that obviously won’t sell out or am I missing something. 
Are they hoping Norway die hards will panic like we appear to be and pay inflated prices on the resale platform before releasing the remaking tickets?

I still doubt that our first two matches will sell out considering the USA and Canadian ones haven’t.

If they opened up every available seat for say Qatar v Switzerland (30,000?), it may shatter the illusion that any games are sold out and encourage people to wait until near kick off for other games such as ours. 

FIFA will know that locals were never paying $500 for Qatar games but will make up most of the crowd on the day. If they pay $50-$100 near the time, that is not far off normal prices for tournament football. In the meantime they will make $500 for games in high demand and games which might be high demand (via lack of transparency) thru FOMO.

I think FIFA have blown this. 100% they wiil need locals to buy tickets to fill Stadiums and I cannot see them paying anywhere near these prices. I can't even see them paying a Third of the Prices being asked for.

Problem is, they opened this Sales Phase last week. Then it appears have not added any more tickets to it over the Easter Weekend. Plus left some on there that are impossible to add to your basket. I did try with no intention of buying but the only ones I could add were USA and Canada tickets. Your average Joe in USA might log into this once, twice or maybe 3 times max before they lose interest. Or see the prices and lose interest. If they don't come back, they won't buy a ticket at all and no matter what FIFA drop the prices to the week before games. Stadiums will not be full.

Getting a bit down about the whole thing to be honest. And, it's the trip of a life time too. Infantino needs to be dragged out of FIFA ASAP. He needs to go.

 If you look at the most recent heat map of where Scotland fans will be within the Stadium for the Haiti match there are no tartan army in sections 205-210 or sections 228-235. I personally believe these tickets are yet to go on sale.

Are those not Club seats? This is where some of the FIFA VIP's, sponsors and other hangers-on will be seated i.e. part of the 10,000 FIFA have kept back. These may yet end up in the portal once the tickets are distributed and those that get them don't want to go or can't go but they will likely be pricey I would have thought

I suspect you’re correct about the comps. Oh well I’m sure at least half of the comps will end up on market place soon enough. 
 

Im positive closer to match day the prices on the resale platform will drop. 
 

 

[Craig Fae Hamilton]

Mostly just the same games available on the Last Minute Page since Friday. Most of which you can't buy. Basically, of the ones on at the moment (Since Friday evening), you can only buy USA and Canada tickets. Of which there are a plentiful supply.

 

I am guessing. But it might be a manual process to add Batch's of tickets onto it and just maybe the fact it is Easter has got in the way.

 

If that is the case, expect a big batch of tickets to be loaded on at some point tomorrow. So if you are prepared to pay Cat 1 Prices, keep your eye out. Guessing but it's worth a shot.

[pug1985]

Was a good few new ones added today but no Scotland

[Bristolhibby]

Also a new category of Cat 1 “front row” has been added.

Bunch of shysters.

Definitely some movement on the LMS portal today. As another poster said, some more games were put up this morning and there’s now a queue similar to last week to get into the system. 
 

Someone on Reddit sayings Cat 3 tickets were available for an England game. 

[Craig Fae Hamilton]

Can confirm Queue is horrendous so something is happening. 30 Minute wait and the Baw has moved an 8'th of the Circle.

4 Hours we could be looking at to get on.

FIFA clever targeting the heart strings of the Rangers minded England supporter.

There’s nothing they won’t think of.

Loads of games on it. Not too many decent ones though.

There were 4x L32. You could only add the potential USA L32 though and they were asking for crazy money.

Also loads of Cat 1 Tickets for sale for a few decent Group Games. If they keep doing that, prices on the Resell MP won't be long in dropping.

But most of the games available were not very attractive Group Games.

But the biggest drop on Tickets that i've saw since this phase opened.

[Hoping for Dreamland]

Does anyone reckon that the Cat 1 front row is swathes of unsold hospitality?

Couldn't agree more. Should have known when that fucking idiot brought out the "peace prize" for the sex offender. That was beyond words, you really couldn't make shit like that up. Pandering to that disgusting piece of shit dragged the game into the gutter, Infantino should have been sacked on the spot for even suggesting that idea in the first place. 

[Craig Fae Hamilton]

Scotland v Haiti just appeared on the Last-Minute Page.

Don;t get excited. FIFA, robbing cunts! $1250 for Cat 1 with a restricted view. I;ll leave em in my shopping basket,. but they will fall out in about 15 minutes if anyone is interested:

[Craig Fae Hamilton]

Scotland v Haiti - All Cat 1's at $1250
