Marriott Bonvoy just notified me of packages that include tickets you can buy with points. It looks like it was announced in January.



This is dumb you have to bid on them with your points

The latest of the ticketing debacles...now they're going to dump more tickets across all the matches. This comes after a NYT article that ticket sales are lagging way behind. Basically FIFA is trying to extract every penny it can out of people that want to go to the matches.

I hope the entire thing fails miserably and half the stadium is empty
I said this about Qatar and this is almost as bad - just minus all the deaths building stadiums

Im actually proud of our fan base for holding firm and not letting FIFA strongarm us into overpaying.

20k available seats for our home opening game is a great F-U to their greed.

Until we do something about the ticket monopolies going on and scalping becoming an occupation can’t see us hosting a World Cup again.


FIFA might end up making a fricking killing off this WC like they did in 1994 and that's all that matters to them. But hopefully not.

A friend of mine bought USA opener tickets at the eye watering price. I would have said frick that, but I was able to get flights and room at cheapest award points possible which brought my total cost for room/flight/ticket to something I could stomach.

We'll see if that price collapses and we're holding the bag.

Heres an article from 1993 listing the 94 ticket prices

LINK

Game tickets will be priced in three categories, according to seat location. Prices for most first-round games will range from $25-$65. Tickets for the stadium series, five matches, are priced at $140 for Category 3 seats, $245 for Category 2 and $355 for Category 1, the best seats.
Individual tickets for the semifinals at the Rose Bowl will cost $90 for seats behind the goals, $200 for seats in the corner of the end zones and $300 for seats between the end lines.

Person on the local FB page was trying to sell 4 tickets to Germany v Curacao for $1250/each. It got so bad in the comments she took the listing down.

It's genuinely the most aggravating thing ever.

It really is disappointing that USSF didn't do more to get members' a better opportunity to buy tickets. I've entered every lottery and actually paid for an Insider's Membership, but have gotten nothing. Such bullshite.

My Queue just reset to the beginning.

Don't think I'm waiting in this again. Last time I did there was only 1 ticket available for the game I was looking at.

I can't even get into the queue there's tickets available, so it's just a shitty web interface. If you're going to charge crazy money, you better have a ticketing system that works.
