! But, seriously, those prices are insane 
! I mean, I'm a huge football fan, but £500+ for a ticket? That's just too much cash 
- the website was slow, and I couldn't even get past the first page without crashing 
. I ended up buying from a third-party seller, but that wasn't much better... they wanted way more than face value for their tickets 
. Still, I'm planning to splurge on tickets, 'cause it's gonna be an unforgettable experience 
! But, I wish FIFA would offer more affordable options or at least some kind of lottery system for fans who can't afford the high prices 
.
i was really hoping to get my hands on some tickets but i got screwed by the website lol it took me like an hour just to get to the checkout page and when i finally did, they had sold out of my seat selection for the next 3 games 
prices are wild tho, i heard someone paid over $1000 for a single ticket?!?! like what kind of money is that? 
but seriously though, who needs that kinda cash? 
I tried buying one online last week and it was a nightmare 
my bank got flagged 
i mean I get that it's a big event and all, but come on FIFA can't you do better than this? 
i know i wanna be there for the final match, but $500+ dollars? that's like, a small fortune for me 
.
!
my cousin finally got through after like 3 attempts tho & he paid like $500 for tickets lol that's insane! idk if its worth it tho, prices are kinda ridiculous... have u seen those tix selling on secondary markets for like triple or quadruple the price? 
anywayz i'm def gonna try again later but probs not before the draw 
.
. Do you guys think it's worth breaking the bank for World Cup tickets? Or do you stick with your local football league? 
i tried using different devices but still can't get past the login page lol what's going on with that? 
anywayz, worth the splurge or no?? 
. Nowadays, it's like they're trying to rob us blind! I had to wait for ages just to get a ticket, and even then, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get them. The online system is such a nightmare – I got stuck on the login page for hours
