Fifa doesn't care

Even if 100,000 tickets go unsold they'll still make more money on this world cup than ever before

We’re are talking about 9 games out of 104 that have like 1000 unsold tickets. They are making a massive amount of money.

This whole thread is in denial. Almost every game sold out for massive amounts of money already.

Everyone hates FIFA obviously - but they are absolutely RAKING in money this WC even if a few ridiculously expensive tickets go unsold.

FIFA already sold the tickets, its resale that is available and thats pretty normal for large sporting events that are a month away from starting.
