World Cup final tickets now reselling for over $2 million each

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If you and three friends wanted to go watch the World Cup final in person this year, you’re in luck. Four tickets, all sitting together, have been made available behind one of the goals at MetLife Stadium for July 19.

But if that sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s because it kinda is. The tickets in question are being sold for $2,299,998.85 each. That works out to over $9 million for all four.

The Category 1 seats are situated at the top of the lower deck, directly behind the goal and near one of the exits. Seats just two rows ahead are reselling for a little over $16,000, with some even closer to the pitch going for over $24,000.

Another resale ticket is also going for $2,299,998.85, but this one in a Category 3 seat situated almost at the very top of the stadium behind one of the goals.

2. MurKKKa!!!💰🤛🏼

Cash Grab at every turn. Watch where foot games are headed. I love Soccer, primarily Women's and I watch a lot. “No Commercials”.
Watching now. UEFA women’s Champions League. Barcelona vs Bayern Munchen. Those stadiums at other countries are packed and when they put cameras on them, those are not billionaires, or millionaires. When you see their passion and love for the game, and fights that ensue, it may not be pretty when they get priced out of WC games here.
But we are Great Again. And hate furners over here.

3. Ridiculous headline from CNN

There is no evidence any tickets have been sold for over $2 million. Just because there are idiots asking for that insane price, doesn't mean they are "selling" for that price. I can guarantee those tickets will not sell for more than a few thousand dollars if they sell at all.

5. Oh. And these idiots who try to resell tickets for insane profits are too stupid to know

that they would have to pay Federal Income Taxes on that profit.

4. Just think what could be helpfully done with 9 million dollars.

6. Nobody is paying $9 million for tickets

Just because someone is stupid enough to think they could get that much for their tickets, doesn't mean there is anyone stupid enough to actually pay it. Hell, the article even said "Seats just two rows ahead are reselling for a little over $16,000, with some even closer to the pitch going for over $24,000." So why would anyone pay millions for tickets when they could get better seats for $16,000?
