To think some were hoping FIFA would improve after Sepp Blatter left!

So, as expected, we didnt get tickets in the Random Selection Draw.

I appreciate this is a ridiculously long shot, but if anyone has tickets to dispose of for:

MetLife Stadium

25th June Ecuador v Germany
27th June Panama v England

Then consider me,

4 tickets in the lowest category on the official FIFA resale market place.....



Just look at the "Resale Facilitation Fee" .... no wonder FIFA are allowing it.

But it's in the land of the entrepreneur,do you really think FIFA are in control of this, they may have shares in the business 'raking it in though?

The cost of tickets is the reason I've not bothered really. Completely taking the piss. Won't pay it out of principle.

There's regularly posts on that twitter about people paying insane prices in the US. Beer at $20-40 a go seems the norm.

Finally got an Avios flight booked now The FA have semi confirmed the friendlies in Florida. Go out on the 4th. Friendlies in Tampa and Orlando on the 6th and 10th. A few days at an all inclusive in Cancuun and a city break in New Orleans before arriving in Dallas for the Croatia game. Home a couple of days later. Will head back out for the final if we make it. 60 dollars a ticket so can’t complain too much at that!

This is a bit of a long shot… I’ve planned on going to the WC for a few years. With everything going on etc and how it’s all been handled, I can’t say as I’m excited as I should be. I got a ticket to the R32 game through the ESTC, I thought I’d get more to be honest (applied for Ghana, Panama & R16), based my application on their advice and thought I was guaranteed a ticket in the price band I went for it, but it seems a lot of people must have held back and I fell out of it. I’ve also since applied for those that become available due to people not paying etc.

If anyone has/hears of a ticket going for the England Panama game, please could they drop me a message? I’ve seen ticket prices I will begrudgingly pay on third party sites, but conscious that my hotel (refundable until June) and flights to get to New York from Chicago (where I’ll be based) will set me back a fair whack and I don’t want to pay all that and end up with the ticket not coming through, so would preferably have something more reliable, and fuck paying over £1k on the fifa resale. Seems a risk/a lot of money to just go over for the R32 game so semi-relying on getting lucky for the Panama game
