Sports tickets have finally lost all touch with reality.
FIFA held an online sale. It did not go well, and the prices looked like AI screwups but were real. Face price for the best seats was $10,990. I'm sure they'll be scalped to Middle Eastern oil sheiks for closer to a hundred grand. Who needs the stock market?
In addition, the sale was online, and the software didn't work. Among other problems, the people who waited the longest were jettisoned and sent to the back of the virtual line.

I was off by a magnitude. One just sold on the secondary market for two million.
Funny... sports are associated with entertainment for the masses, but the masses can't afford to see them any more.
