I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.
Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...
The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.
That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.
Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.
Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
Acá te cuento cómo el gobernador con licencia de Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, ya no tiene fuero, cómo se llegó a esta resolución y las consecuencias políticas que esto implica.
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️

Claudia Sheinbaum’s efforts to improve security in Mexico have long had an obvious weakness: her reluctance to pursue high-level officials in Morena, her ruling party, who may be co-operating with narcos. Now America has forced the issue https://t.co/Uh11bMicoh
Conforme al nuevo criterio de la @SCJN esto sería causal para que la UIF iniciara sus investigaciones y, dado el caso, incluyera al exfuncionario a su Lista de Personas Bloqueadas.
Peeeero...

Mañana la @TEPJF_GDL tiene de dos sopas:
O falla en favor de la libertad de expresión o en su contra y en favor de la censura.
Esperemos que las magistraturas estén a la altura.
CCP: @rebecabaram1, @Irinacervantes3 y @Magdo_SAGO.
Esto que hizo @nayaroldan y todo el equipo de @Pajaropolitico es desgarrador, brutal, es periodismo puro que sirve a las víctimas y nos recuerda que la tragedia sigue viva, uffffff!
