Fox comes back late from its hydration break commercials. Unreal. Second break of the tournament and we're already missing live World Cup action.

Brutal and embarrassing.

As of last night, across various resale sites, still listings of ~10,000 tickets for the U.S. World Cup opener vs. Paraguay.

That *does not* necessarily mean there'll be thousands of empty seats, of course. And there's still time.

But there are big chunks available...

Hundreds of World Cup tickets are still unsold, but one expert says prices could fall 'dramatically' https://t.co/vDX6ATImlX

@NBCNews @FIFAcom is a "not for profit" criminal organization.

Extorting the working class.

[Matthew Thompson @Mattyice_Dev]

@FIFAWorldCup A seriously unserious organization.

Imma watch it on my 120" inch projector screen. 🖕✌️

REVEALED:

@TheAthleticFC has seen official “tickets purchased” numbers for World Cup group games at 70k SoFi Stadium near LA.

Sales for high-priced USMNT opener are lagging significantly (40k tickets purchased) behind games such as Iran v New Zealand.

@AdamCrafton_ It's wild to me how little @ussoccer and prominent voices for the @USMNT shit they give about their fans.

I guess it makes sense. They typically overcharge for friendlies and then complain about turnout from the other side of their months.

@MLSMoves +1 to this.

Had the same feelings in the beginning and then the unfortunate realization when I saw the prices.

I will not mortgage my life to watch a group stage game in the nose bleeds.

I have a nice TV at home where the beer and company is better. 🖕

When the 2026 World Cup was announced for the United States back in 2018, I told myself there was no way I’d miss it. I was going to be there in person, experiencing a World Cup on home soil and I know so many of you felt the exact same way.

Fast forward to now, and the ticket prices are completely astronomical. Outrageously unaffordable. What was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime has been priced out of reach for regular fans like me. I’m going to miss watching my country host the biggest event in sports… something I may never get to experience again in my lifetime.

Yes, they’re going to make money off this massive event on U.S. soil. But the greed has gone too far. It’s ruining the beautiful game and turning it into something only the wealthy can enjoy. A World Cup should be for everyone not just those who can drop thousands without blinking.
This is an absolute shame.

@sama Lol your either out of touch or not building anything interesting.
