And 14 added minutes until the half Agreed. I mean, Iran is playing like an hour flight from home, majority of fans in the stands. Good qualifying campaign. Admirable boycotting of their anthem, whatever. Probably Iran was better vs. England than Qatar vs. Ecuador, but still, not competitive at all. narduch, The Real Marc and YorkRegionFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Perhaps they should be filling up the empty seats with all the cardboard cut out fans that were being used in some stadiums during the pandemic The Real Marc and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reserve for their sponsors, executives, regional soccer association obligations (the CSA has dished out dozens of these in Qatar), or for perks, and those guys don't go, or hang out in the lounge boring each other over their gluten-free Negronis. While fans are desperately scrambling for tix, already reduced to ridiculously low maximums. Also happens in national cup matches, but maybe not so glaring. What Qatar is perhaps lacking is the ability to absorb newly available tix from the local milieu. If you're in Athens or Glasgow, you can always find someone to grab your seats if you catch the flu or similar. If you just don't feel like it, your neighbour or a nephew will. I get the sense that Qatar is not like that. Obviously, if a bunch of Canadians have their visas revoked, or can't travel, no one there will be ready to jump on them, we assume all Canucks there have at least their tix. There are probably relatively few of those proverbial "English fans travelling without tickets". So we'll see gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably relatively few of those proverbial "English fans travelling without tickets". So we'll see gaps. I spent the 2018 World Cup in Berlin and I met quite a few people who caught last minute flights to Russia to catch games because they had a friend going, it was back in the day where you could grab a cheap RyanAir flight to Moscow and be back home within a few days without having had to shell out 2 months salary. One of the people in the group I was watching games with randomly didn't show up one night- we found out that she bought a ticket to a game in like Kazan or something and just took a yolo trip on a day or two's notice. I don't think that is something we will see in Qatar. On the other hand, that's going to be such an underrated factor for the North American world cup. I'll have my tickets sorted out in advance, but most people living anywhere in North America can easily fly out on short notice if tickets go back on resale. You're in NYC, you can easily decide to take the train to Boston or Philly, or even Toronto to catch a game, same deal on the west coast too.
