In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

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.

Feels like time to call it a day on this account, so this will be my final post.

I started this piss-taking Celebration Police thing 4 years ago and it’s genuinely been great fun. Unexpectedly so.

Through this account, I’ve met and engaged with some brilliant people, built a 55k following, made a bit of money and, for the most part, enjoyed my time here.

But let’s be honest: the joke wore thin a long time ago. And i’m bored of this platform and the increasingly repetitive, shit banter that fills it.

And Arsenal have won the league, so who gives a fuck about weirdos telling you when you can or can’t be happy about the football team you invest so much of yourself in😂

Policing celebrations is about as lame as it gets. It really is😂👎🏻

So thank you for all the support over the years, each and every one of you, and for engaging with The Celebration Police. You’ve been brilliant❤️

So for one last time…

ALL UNITS TO THE EMIRATES!!! 🚨🚨🚨

Went to bed, thinking about the football.

Woke up about five times through the night, thinking about the football.

Got up this morning, thinking about the football.

It's just all consuming.

This season, it's going to be the end of all of us I swear 😂

Pitiful handling of Chelsea is shameful. They should be stripped of titles

@SullysFooty no it isn't. This isn't just about whether they were PSR compliant. That's not even half of it. The fact the payments were undisclosed is a massive issue in itself.
