A sales document distributed to local organizers shows that plenty of seats are still available for the World Cup cohosts' first match

This whole piece is pretty “it’s gonna be fine,” but based on this tidbit, we may see a fair bit of inventory when last minute sales start tomorrow:

Meanwhile, earlier buyers are now listing tickets to that U.S. opener on resale sites for under face value. There are over 4,000 tickets listed on FIFA’s own resale platform, and as of Sunday, at least 19 sections showed prices lower than the primary-market price. There were also 377 listings on StubHub, 10 of which were offering tickets at below face value, even after taxes and fees were added.

Also, this is hilarious:

That may help explain why Iran’s two matches at SoFi have seemingly sold better than the U.S. matches, per the document shared with local organizers.
