I know it is a bit of a way ahead, but my wife's family are saying that tickets are already on sale for matches in Volgograd.
My question is, do you think if they buy some up now (only £15, so very cheap) that they will be able to sell them on for a few extra quid when the WC begins?
Guessing there is a big demand for WC tickets, at least certainly for some games.
My wife's family are not that well off over there and are just asking if this might be an opportunity to make a few quid.
Anyone have an experience of this sort of thing? Am guessing CJ is my man, but there maybe others on here who have had experience of buying tickets for WC finals too.
Would hardly call it touting. I don't think they are setting themselves as unscrupulous touts trying to milk people for money. They simply saw tickets being sold really cheaply and thought it might be an idea to buy a few in advance.If they're planning on buying them to tout at a profit, I hope Volgograd gets Iran vs Togo.
Yeah, get that. I would just say they are not setting themselves up to make lots of money, just to help people out.Buying tickets with the sole intention of selling them at a profit is touting mate.
Although, I've used touts to buy tickets in the past to be fair so I'm probably a hypocrite.

Fair play to them for trying to overcome their poverty and making a few quid from those who probably have too much compared to some in the world.
Worth doing and then selling on Viagogo prior to the match. If it's a fairly small-time game, sell them as soon as the game is announced as more people will be looking to buy before they go on sale via the FAs. If it's a big one (think England v Wales at the Euros) hold out til about 2 weeks before the match. I paid £320 for a €25 face value ticket for that match, and literally bought it the week before. They were at as much as £450 prior to that.
Okay, so Volgograd got England's opening game.I know it is a bit of a way ahead, but my wife's family are saying that tickets are already on sale for matches in Volgograd.

They won't lose out will they at that price you would think. All that said as an England fan I wouldn't go anyway near the place as the Neanderthals in Russia really are seeing it as some sort of invasion and a chance to beat the shit out of Westerners !
I can tell you in Brazil there were England fans spending $750 for a ticket which was about £500 at the time. There were other games that were less than 3/4 full.
I've ordered mine through England Supporters Club. I doubt it will be a problem as they never bother to check and if they do, they are that corrupt that a bribe will have them looking the other way.
Yup. Police especially. You might get a 'fine' for not having the right colour car mats, or for wearing a tartan scarf whilst driving.Same here and bribery in Russia? Never!
