FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

[scaramanga]

From a purely business perspective, you’re correct. But, morally and when it comes to football, you’re wrong.

The World Cup final will attract event junkies, many of whom are minted. They’ll have little interest in the actual sport or game but they’ll be at a World Cup final. Is it right that those people will get tickets over people who’ve likely supported their country for years and through qualifying?

Yes, of course. If they're willing to pay more then they have more right to the ticket than anyone else.

I really really like the McLaren 720s. I'm fairly sure that I like it more than most people who own one. Does that mean that they should be sold at a discount to me because I somehow deserve one more?

Coming to the PL sooner rather than later

It already has.

I've managed to get my son into a few Emirates Marketing Project games around the South by just paying more. I also rarely miss out on gigs I want to go to thanks to dynamic pricing and touts. It's a good system that works as it should.

The analogy is massively flawed. If we go with your logic, football fans are no more than regular customers. That’s a pretty dystopian view of things.

I dont agree with it at all, but its def going down the American Yielding model where they sell top end games like the NLD for 2k a ticket etc. It's coming

It's an irony that football fans want cheap ticket prices and then want their club to out bid other clubs for players in fees and wages.
FIFA know they will easily sell at those prices, it should keep the riff raff away (I include myself in that).

That's precisely what they are. Haven't been anything more for over a generation now.

I guess that's where we'll always disagree then because I believe that is morally wrong and you seem to be okay with it.

I don't think many agree with the high prices, where money is concerned there's little morality, it's not a fair world and it's not going to change in the foreseeable future.
