      LOL was going to be Canada-Italy, which would have had crazy interest in Toronto, and is now Canada-Bosnia.

      I remember Category 2 ticket prices for the Canada match in Toronto was something like 3.3K USD a few months ago on FIFA’s resale market (not the face price, that was the resale price, because you need a lot of luck to win the lottery to get the face price). That’s like 4.5K CAD. And that’s excluding the service charges, miscellaneous charges, etc. Once you include the service charges, it gets closer to 5K CAD? And this was a Category 2 ticket too, because Category 1 ticket prices are even more expensive.

      The Canada matches in Vancouver had more realistic ticket prices – it was still expensive, but not nearly as bad as the Toronto Canada match price. But the problem with Vancouver is the hotel price. A 3 or 4 star hotel was going for something like 900 to 1000 CAD per night, in the metro Vancouver area, during the World Cup. From my understanding, it is a perfect storm of peak cruise season in Vancouver, the World Cup, and Vancouver requiring a license for Air BnB, which has drastically lowered the supply available for Air BnB rooms.

      The whole thing is a disgrace, and I have tickets.

      It’s classic North American capitalistic sports culture.

      Previous years WC and Euro tickets were like $50 a pop max. And they couldn’t be ‘resold’ on the official resale platform for more than face value.

      Now there’s no restrictions on resale price and FIFA takes commission from both the buyer and seller, so they are profiting even more.

      Surely people aren’t going to pay those prices to watch freaking Bosnia?

      Prices will go up until the week before the game when they will fall. It’s just the way it works.

      People looking to book hotels in advance and want to make sure they have tickets for the game. As you get closer to the event date, that demand dries up and more price sensitive people enter the secondary market

      FIFA is a pos organization. Corruption out the wazooo, and the only thing they care about is $$$

      Do we really need a news article about the way supply and demand works? Very popular and high demand event will be expansive and people will resell to make money. Don’t see a problem with that. If you got the money to spend then spend your hard earned money

      Not interested in the least at putting money in fifas pocket …they can stick their tickets and peace prize

      FIFA is so corrupt..I am guessing people have money to blow. It is cheaper for me to.fly to Europe and watch a game than go to a FIFA game.

      I’m taking some amount of solace in the very real possibility that some people bought $5,000 tickets for „Canada vs Italy“ in the hopes that they’d be able to re-resell them for even more.

      It’s still the world cup, and it’s still a big deal, but I don’t think Bosnia’s going to be as big a draw.

      I feel bad, i was chatting with my FIL last night. He’s Bosnian and the whole family immigrated here during the war, it would have been so cool to get tickets for him and my mother in law but there’s no way we can shell out 5K for horrible seats…..

    17. RyeKnox on

      Who the fuck is supporting this corrupt organization still.. after everything they have done… why do people still buy tickets. Absolutely disgraceful..

    18. EverestPudding on

      Resellers can list tickets at whatever price they want, but that doesn’t mean anyone has to buy them. This isn’t even a final or semi-final. Those prices are ridiculous.

      We should just ignore them and let them sit on their tickets!

    19. YoloLifeSaving on

      Put the money from the ticket towards a 90+ inch tv and watch at home

    20. kylemclaren7 on

      Ppl asking; doesn’t mean jack because they aren’t selling for this.

    21. Hyena_roar on

      Wanting to buy tickets to watch Bosnia play. Flying out of Winnipeg bug tickets are $2,200+ per person. Forget it.

    22. hula_balu on

      Once that ticket sales act comes into play there might be some tickets to be had..

    25. Super_Sandro23 on

      Its specifically Toronto games thought that are insanely expensive.

      $3150 for cat 1 Canada Bos at BMO

      $980 for Cat 1 Canada Swiss at BC place.

      Make it make sense!
