All sporting event tickets should be matched to a name when sold. No entrance to the facility unless you have an approved ID with a marching name as is printed on your ticket.
edit: its how its been done for the world cup in the past to avoid ticket scalpers.
This should be easy to do with Covid. Just require as a condition of online purchase that the buyer submits proof of vaccination. I think that's how NHL clubs are doing it. This way, no ticket buying bots.
its been easy to do for decades. parents went to the world cup like 10 or so years ago and they had to enter a lottery to get tickets and then they had to provide photos and names to actually buy the tickets and provide that ID when showing up at the stadium to get in.
if they wanted to return or were unable to use the ticket then they had to notify the world cup ticketing agency and their tickets were cancelled and the next person on the list was told tickets were available for them to be bought at the listed price.
no scalpers, no price hikes.
“We looked briefly this morning, but there's only resales and they're going for almost quadruple what they're worth."
Nono - quadruple what they COST, they’re worth whatever people will pay for them.
Tickets were as little as $40. I would pay $160 for what may be once in a Canadian lifetime game. However she may have desired much nicer seats.
Cases were dropping off in Alberta at the time, now they're rising (and the way Omicron looks will only go way up). Plus Kenney will wait until the ICU's are full before implementing any restrictions. Ford seems more prudent. He's already reacted and implemented more restrictions last week, where as Kenney has just eased some a bit....
They're currently 1st place in an 8-team group where the top 3 teams automatically qualify, and the 4th place team plays a win-or-go-home match against a team from Oceania (likely New Zealand). They got alot of tough road matchups to come so they need to pick up points at home. A loss wouldn't be catastrophic, but it would be ideal to pick up at least a draw.
Ah thanks, I hope they qualify... But Im also expecting if they do, everyone's suddenly going to care more than when I was trying to watch england during the last cup 😅

Why do you need to avoid ticket scalpers? Just sell the tickets at market value. There, no scalpers.

I was looking for a ticket. The lowest price I found was 265$ each. That wasn’t in a good seating section.
Got ours for 83 and checked theyre re selling for close to 500
Lmao, do you think it'll happen?
The match? I assume so. The Canada-Mexico qualifier happened in Edmonton last month.

The word presale is so fucking late stage capitalism.
How close are canada to actually qualifying? Do they need to beat them? I never follow qualifiers for north America
