On some kind of "lucky dip" sale from Thursday I do believe "from" £89 up to £880 for the final. You need to get some sort of ID Card that replaces the hassle for a Russian visa Got friends in St Petersburg that are wanting us to go & see them.......
Anyone else?

Always fancied visiting Russia but really don’t fancy going there for the World Cup. I can’t imagine anyone from the UK would get a particularly good welcome there.
Also, cheapest ticket for non-Russian natives for a group stage match is over £82! I paid €40 for a QF ticket for the Euros last year which seemed cheap to me. I guess FIFA have got to recoup some of the costs for bribery somewhere along the way.
You can see the native tickets entering the market pretty quickly. Cheapest ticket for them is under £17.

If you are a masochist I can imagine you can pay to get the shit kicked out of you for £80 here, without the hassle and added cost of travelling to Russia.

I was thinking more in terms of visiting our friends, taking in a match and enjoying a different country. Same as they did when they came over for the Rugby World Cup. I wasn`t considering going toe to toe with Ivan & his mates who have been going through years of training in a Siberian forest to beat visitors senseless.

When Iran qualified I was talking with some friends from that way about going to see them at the finals.
Those prices are pretty punishing though.
Love that there are reserved seats (and subsidised prices!) for "obese persons". Better get eating...

How soon we all forget that Russia cheated and bribed it's way to getting the 2018 Finals and we got hung out to dry. I wouldn't go if you paid me and nor should England.

FIFA is the most corrupt organisation in the world & everyone knows it yet nobody does anything about it....why? ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££`s <------ thats why. I`m sure Russia, Qatar and all the rest are deeply concerned that everyone knows they are as bent & crooked as you can be.....or they will just launder the money....as will the next country, and the next.......

Putting the hooligan issue to one side, Russia is at least a major footballing nation who possibly 'deserve' a World Cup. Would they ever have got it without greasing the palms of Sepp's cronies? Almost certainly not. Qatar though......that's the one that stinks.

FIFA investigated FIFA but sacked the bloke who was probably going to say that perhaps FIFA wasn't completely innocent. FIFA then said, no you can't see his report but we can tell you it says we are innocent of any wrongdoing.

Net result the same though; FIFA are in the clear and the integrity of football is saved!

Yes, wrestling with other countries supporters!

Then chuck Qatar in to the mix, exactly the same as Russia but also with Qatar a number of migrant workers have died building the stadiums due to the poor working conditions; some reports saying several hundred have died. It would have been great if a few of the more powerful football nations had taken a stance and boycotted these 2 world cups, that might have helped force FIFA's hand towards proper reform.

Sadly, the WC should be the pinnacle of the game, but I just don't care about Russia or Qatar. I certainly wouldn't go to any England games in Russia as their lads will up for a scrap. I might do a random game just to experience it without the nonsense, but that won't happen due to FIFA.
