    The “suite essentials” category promises “the beautiful game, simplified” and offers access to a hospitality suite, a numbered seat and “prepackaged snacks, soft drinks, and a commemorative gift”. Starting at $650

    Wait, I thought nosebleed seats started at twice that?

      There were like fifteen tickets at a $60 price point, which were technically the cheapest tickets but were basically just a fiction. The nosebleeds for the final do start at like twice that, but group stage matches are cheaper. I do think your broader point is spot on — this is a way to lower prices without admitting they’re lowering prices due to suppressed demand.

        I think I was looking at the final game prices too. But yeah, they’re definitely not selling as well this year.

    a new category – “suite essentials” – has been added to lower-profile games, allowing customers to buy an individual ticket for a suite that would previously have been sold to a group.

    GOOD! more things for the rich and less for plebs.
