Jesus Christ they could have just said “60 lucky fans got free tickets due to our mess up, enjoy!” And gotten just the tiniest shred of good press about it. But no, they have to be complete fuck ups and ask for them to actually pay.
The only soccer team I’m a real fan of is the Fuck Fifa Team.
The entire downtown Toronto area is completely covered in FIFA shit, with soccer fields in front of city hall and huge FIFA photo ops everywhere. There’s always a huge crowd around them. I don’t get how it’s still so popular
Well, unfortunately, that’s just the way it is. If people would sacrifice their own entertainment just a few times for the greater good, organizations like FIFA wouldn’t exist. Unfortunately, though, they don’t—not even when it comes to things as utterly dispensable as sporting events. The result is the world we live in today.
Edit: On a smaller scale, you can actually observe this effect even on Lemmy as well: just look at how many large communities have imposed the absurd “no politics” rule on themselves. Obviously, this rule is so broadly defined that it opens the door to arbitrary censorship and can only lead to arbitrariness, since there is nothing that isn’t political in one way or another. Yet people insist they don’t want to be confronted with reality—not on showerthoughts, not on asklemmy, and not on many other communities. They then say, “Post in a political community,” meaning somewhere where no one will see it. That’s just how the world is, that’s how the majority of people are, and that’s why we have to live the way we do.
Sorry for the rant.
Bruh this isnt a matter if people closing their eyes and humming loudly, this is a problem of mental health. The world is going really poorly right now, dystopian bullshit all around and people feel powerless to change it meaningfully. The constant barrage of terrible news can seriously fuck up peoples mental wellbeing. Take reality in moderation these days.
That in no way contradicts what I’m saying: People don’t want to be confronted with reality.
The problem with that, however, is that burying their heads in the sand instead of joining forces to change the situation doesn’t help anyone—it actually hurts anyone.
An excellent example of what happens when people don’t band together to put a stop to those who harm everyone out of ruthless self-interest is the U.S.
It is simply wrong to resign oneself to injustice. People can change things together—there are more than enough examples of this in history.
To say, “That’s just the way it is,” is the worst thing you can do, because that is exactly what the powerful of this world want—and they want it because they are so vastly outnumbered.
I say this myself above, and unfortunately, it’s because I’ve pretty much given up hope— because even on the most niche platforms, you’re still confronted with people’s hedonism.
The mispriced tickets were sold through the official World Cup site on 21 May, Fifa said in an email message to buyers. That date was more than three months after Fifa president Gianni Infantino said all 104 World Cup games had sold out.
So it’s okay for YOU to be dishonest, but…
HAHAHHAHA no
I bet they will invallidate them if they don’t pay
Fifa seems to be composed of complete scumbags.
always has been
What about the literal thousands of tickets that have been given away for free for greasing Palms and nepotism etc… part of the legit reason for increasing prices (not the reason for the insane prices though). Do they have to pay for the tickets? a percent of the ticket prices? Should they even offer a donation?
Charity??
Not a fucking chance. I hope I’m alive when FIFA competitor takes over and fucks FIFA 60 feet under.
these people expected to pay full price up until the payment was skipped.
the seats are reserved for them still, so honestly, they can’t complain too much.
Why not ask them to buy two tickets while they’re at it?

They probably see how many idiots still buy the game just to complain about it for their fifth year in a row, then blow CC debt on their FUT team only to have it all reset a month after they’re finally happy with it; every 12 months.
One of the most poorly user rated games for over half a decade, according to hundreds and thousands of people that hand over way too much money each year like it’ll be any different this time.
FIFA has noticed.
So… This is about the World Cup, not the FIFA video game franchise.
I suggest dialing 9-1 now. If you find yourself starting to type something as unhinged as this again, go ahead and hit 1 again. If possible, try to slur at the operator that you’re having a stroke.
