Assuming they follow the same approach as the CWC then attendance will be fine, it's just they'll be liquidating a significant amount of tickets at far below initial face value.

The CWC games havent been hailed as “104 Super Bowls” as was referenced yesterday and today by FIFA.

Toss in a couple 9pm and 8pm local time starts.

Japan Tunisia in Monterey sounds like a lowly attended game but Monterey doesn’t have many games so more chance of people coming out for any game.
They got Argentina vs. Chile at the 2016 Copa America at least haha.

If you just want to watch good games then setting up shop in Texas and travelling between Dallas and Houston is your best bet.

Netherlands vs Japan
England vs Croatia
2 Argentina Games
2 Portugal Games
Germany

Well the group stage is extremely watered down for sure - might get some fun surprises but not as many marquee matchups.

That’s honestly amazing. It almost makes me want to get tickets to that one!

Tell that to my work colleague.
Just bought two tickets on Stubhubfor the Croatia Panama in Toronto at $1000 a ticket.

Yeah think there are lots of people overpaying right now when only 30% of tickets have been released.

Feel like the sweet spot for re-sale tickets will be right after this next waive of ticket sales for the marquee games, those games will be tough to get but the market will flood a bit after this next waive of games.

Then for the games between the poor teams probably best to wait, feel like those will drop closer to the games.
