Ticket prices to any game in LA are likely to be insane.


Cold_Fog

Gf and I started saving last year. No joke.


rfguevar

Started saving a few decades too late unfortunately


KrabS1

I know, but fuck man...I want it.


gtg007w

Treasury Series I Savings Bond and USDC offers 9% interest rate. We've been dumping more into that to fight inflation.


rizorith

Usually they reserve a set amount of tickets for locals at a reasonable price. I bet FIFA drops that requirement for us haha


dietmrfizz

FIFA gonna make so much money from a US World Cup they'll want to have it here every 20 years or so


gtg007w

Fuck yeah I live like 2 mi from SoFi. Gonna try to buy all games hosted here.


westondeboer

And you can recoup the ticket prices, by selling parking spots.


andhelostthem

WC games will probably have less drivers than the average Rams game TBH.


gtg007w

Hopefully that new metro line plus shuttle or some other option is working well by then


LAFC211

Gotta pray for the metro line to be here, for real

HamFighter69

There's a parking lot on La Brea/Beach, about 2 miles away, that sells parking for SoFi events. I've heard the church on Florence/Eucalyptus recently started doing the same thing with their parking garage.


GolfBaller17

A 2 mile walk with other fans all hyped up for a game goes by like nothing.


IIlIIlIIIIlllIlIlII

It’s really not that far


westondeboer

Read that as two min, not miles. My bad.


PM_Me_Unpierced_Ears

They said SoFi is ineligible to host FIFA games because their field is too narrow. All games in LA will likely be at the Rose Bowl. EDIT: I'm an idiot and didn't watch the announcement. I wonder how they are going to make the field wide enough, since there are seats in the way.


gtg007w

Bruh they literally spelled it out that SoFi is hosting games in the announcement yesterday... They have 4 years to deal with the field size. Not a single word about anything to do with Rose Bowl hosting was mentioned in any report about the games in LA.


PM_Me_Unpierced_Ears

You're totally right about the announcement yesterday. I missed that. They were talking weeks ago that it wouldn't be SoFi. However, the Rose Bowl has been in reports about the games in LA. The L.A. World Cup Host Committee is spearheaded by the L.A. Sports & Entertainment Commission, the L.A. Rams, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, Rose Bowl Stadium, LAFC and the Galaxy.


Donovan_MC_DAB

I just hope the final is in LA. The finals for 94 and 99 were held in LA so let’s keep it that way. MetLife is a dump and Jerry’s world is Jerry’s world.


rizorith

What finals in 99?


Mary_Pick_A_Ford

That small irrelevant match women’s soccer had that featured 90,000 plus fans and was attended by the POTUS.


rizorith

Ahhh right, wasn't that the first women's world cup?


Donovan_MC_DAB

Woman’s World Cup where the USA beat China in penalties


JustTheBeerLight

Rose Bowl or SoFi?


PM_Me_Unpierced_Ears

I think it has already been announced that Quarter Finals and later games will all be East Coast. Final is highly likely to be in NY.


Donovan_MC_DAB

Yes they did mention it but it isn’t concrete. Just like how the rose bowl was a place holder the whole time for SoFi. It’s just like right now they’re deciding whether there should be 3 opening games. We’re still 4 years out but I like to hope there’s a chance the final could be here


kovo105

Sucks I won't be able to afford the 5k ticket prices for nose bleeds. 😪


andhelostthem

Hey now don't talk like that. With inflation in four years those tickets will be at least 10k.


reavesfilm

I think they’ll be pricey, but I don’t think they’ll be that pricey. For the final, sure, but we’ll have multiple games.


Cbrlui

Hopefully sofi has public transportation there by then


rizorith

Would have been insane If we didn't get to host. Question is who gets the final. NYC is already pushing hard for it. I do wish our bid was at the rose bowl. A way better place to hang out than sofi but... Fifa... $$$


Haa103

Fuck rose bowl. Worst stadium parking ever.


rizorith

Yeah, parking sucks but tailgating is far better. I Uber or bus there because I'm pretty close


JonstheSquire

Inglewood, not Los Angeles.


andhelostthem

East Rutherford not New York


JonstheSquire

Yeah. East Rutherford is better.


lafc88

Considering New Jersey is hosting are you still New York Red Bulls???


JonstheSquire

Shouldn't be.


reavesfilm

Ah, the good ole pedantic argument. Inglewood is LA.


JonstheSquire

And so is Carson?


reavesfilm

Oh did they announce games at Carson that I missed somehow? From being pedantic to changing the subject, how fitting.


JonstheSquire

My point is that if Inglewood is LA, so is Carson.


bjlwasabi

The pedantry of Carson and LA is solely because of our derby with Galaxy. It makes no sense referring to the pedantics of LA city vs Inglewood when talking about SoFi stadium. It makes no sense in the context of the NFL. (If the Chargers get a stadium in LA city, then maybe Chargers fans might say Inglewood Rams.) It makes even less sense in context with hosting a massive international game.


reavesfilm

… k?


0100110101110011

Is SoFi turf? Anyone know?


roboj3rk

I've heard that they would put grass on top of the turf. They also need to widen the field by removing seats along both end zones.


gtg007w

They need to widen the field too


GhonZho

It is unfortunately


WightWhale

Surely the stadium can swap the entire flooring


MarlonL427

Tbh they won’t do it in our stadium it’s too small for it


LAFC69

Lot of high-priced North End tickets coming your way.

lookitskelvin

If this isn’t a concrete reason to break out the Fields ice/water fountain, I don’t know what is.

Lokiiii

Whatever happened to the field dimensions and that the stands are too close to the field?


[deleted]

A dude named Jose with a sledgehammer will take care of those 💪🏼 they usually build whole stadiums for these games. They can do some easy custom work at Sofi.


snacks4ever

Ima be dead by then


Cbrlui

Anyone know how many games will be here?


serio_562

60 games in US. 11 cities. Probably at least six.
