Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 12/06/2026One day into the World Cup, FIFA is doing “actually, the stadiums ARE full” posts stating that there are “ticketed fans… standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats” 4239876
Extremely Normal Guy (not weird about stuff) @planarpunk.com · 12/06/2026Having the time of my life with fans. They're just out of frame, on the concourse. 050
Holly Anderson 🍇 @hollyanderson.bsky.social · 12/06/2026It’s definitely not a concern that this is even a topic of conversation 1970
beans @brrrrrunette.bsky.social · 12/06/2026They’re definitely counting the volunteers and workers as attendees 010
joninsocal.bsky.social @joninsocal.bsky.social · 13/06/2026🤣🤣🤣🤣 #FIFA apparently using Trumps doctor to assess attendance…. 000
OgtheDim 🍁 @ogthedim.bsky.social · 12/06/2026The only thing I would say is those seats near the centre here in Toronto are a heat trap & nobody with a choice to be inside does so Except of course my family who went 🫠 000

John @johnmd1968.bsky.social · 19/06/2026If it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck, in fifa attendance figures it must be a fan. So Fifa says attendance figures are based on tickets being scanned into the stadium, that folks were in the concourse watching, quite plausible, where was Ice fans hiding the figures? 100
Rob Zuccarelli @zuke.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Struggling to understand this one. What is FIFA's motivation to not just say "tickets are too expensive for the average person?" Why contribute to the bullshit 000
Paul Henricksen @heypaul.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Apparently the concourse is a better location than the patches of empty seats at midfield 1171
Larry Birdwatcher @trashtakes.bsky.social · 12/06/2026and another thing: im not mad about the empty seats. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad about the empty seats. 060
El Topo 🍁 @eltopo71.com · 12/06/2026This is Mexico, where people don't have to worry about ICE. Just a coincidence I'm sure. 000
Brian Kobil @bkobil.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Soccer fans are famous for getting up and walking around the concourse during gameplay… 020
Not Gianni Infantino @gianniinfantino.bsky.social · 12/06/2026This is correct, we have sold every ticket for every match at bargain prices. If you want to believe the AI photos and fake news, there really is no hope for you. #BestWorldCupEver #$500Tickets4Ever 000

kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Trump and his stormtroopers fucked up tourism to the USA so bad people aren’t even coming for the World Cup. Maybe FIFA will give him another prize for that. 010
Pointless Exercise @pointlessexercise.com · 12/06/2026The St. Louis Cardinals are doing crowd size PR for the World Cup? 110
Adam @okguyadam.bsky.social · 12/06/2026When i spend a lot of money for a sporting event (one of the shortest in all of sports) i too like to spend most of it not watching 040
Steve @asparagusribs.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Oof. Feel a little bad for the players. No sarcasm! Get to the world cup to play in front of 15K?! Pics in the story from the Athletic that show ‘thousands’ of empty seats during the game too. They must have made $$$ in concessions if they were all on the concourse www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...nytimes.comSouth Korea beats Czech Republic but why all the empty seats at World Cup’s second game?

samfreez.bsky.social @samfreez.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Just trying to control the narrative before the US games pop off. "Prices for concessions are so high there's a loan officer onsite, plus there are several fans currently re-mortgaging their homes for a pint." 080
