If it’s open to everyone, no need for tickets…

Donald signed an Executive Order specifically dealing with the ticket issue that practically every event in the country deals with.

Can't get free public transport, but wait until the World Cup comes to town!

Then you'll see the TRUE power of collectivism's warm embrace!

What doesn't this apply to? Tickets for football, basketball, WWE, Broadway, you name it.

Hence the BOTS Act and Trump's Executive Order to address ticket scalping.

The best thing about this is that there will be zero World Cup games played in NYC

His biography is incredible. I'm guessing 90% of the OT is more qualified than him... for anything.

In future news, 100 people were trampled to death at the opening match of the World Cup.

Seems like a lot of posters on tRant would agree with him. I hear a lot of complaints about how the game experience has been corporatized and that “true fans” have been priced out.

They just increased Subway and Bus fare prices too

They didn't even wait to let most people forget that they voted for this Red devil because he promised free mass transit

A bit of leap equating complaints about how things have gotten too expensive or corporatized with demanding that we get them for free.

What Mamdani said in that clip is, in reality, no different than what Donald and Kid Rock said at the Oval Office when Donald signed the Executive Order dealing with this issue in a broader sense.
