    The first open sale of tickets for the 2026 World Cup showed Fifa is charging up to $10,990 (£8,333) to be at the final.

    It is thought to be the most expensive ever general admission to a football match, based on box office prices rather than the resale market.

    In its World Cup bid book, the US, Canada and Mexico said tickets to the final would cost a maximum of $1,550 (£1,174).

    By the time tickets went on sale to members of each country’s official supporters’ club in December, the most expensive was listed at $8,680 (£6,581).

    Prices then went up again when Wednesday’s final sale period began.

    Tickets for the Qatar World Cup final in 2022 cost the equivalent of $1,604 (£1,214) for the top-priced seat.

    Establishing the actual cost of tickets for this summer’s tournament is difficult as Fifa has never released its pricing structures.

    It is also using a version of dynamic pricing, whereby prices change at the start of each sales point depending on past demand.

  • Hello world!

    Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

  • The End of Dashboards and Design Systems

    Design systems were built to scale manual interface creation. They’re now content fodder for AI. The perfect worker for parsing components, outlining specs, and shuffling identical boxes around. One that doesn’t complain about the boring parts of it all.

    Now it’s starting to kill them off.

    Imagine building yet another form that looks like all the other forms (Hi Jakob’s law!). This is as refreshing as competitive clicking accept on cookie banners.

    You can generate a design system using AI, build a complex dashboard and then realize nobody really needs it anymore. AI ate its own tail when it comes to generative user interfaces.

    In short: it replaced itself.

    We pretended everyone needed a system

    Before we dive deeper, I have to warn you. This will be an extremely controversial take.

    One that can turn your world upside down. Ask yourself this:

    Who promotes using design systems the most?

  • Free WordPress theme with zero distraction

    If you are looking for a WordPress theme with zero distraction, no nonsense features, you just want to write, here’s the right place.

    However, just be honest. Is that true or you’re just tired of bloated websites, constant bugs. You just want something simple like Substack or Ghost. Pay and write. Or even Bearblog.

    WordPress is still suitable for:

    • SEO, #1 platform with SEO
    • Free, or you pay very little.
    • Freedom, you own your site, not being locked into platform.
    • Easy, fast
    • Ecosystem is huge. What if suddenly you need something in the future?

    WordPress problem is, it’s slow. It sucks.

    • A good WordPress theme makes WordPress good again.
    • A terrible WordPress theme, makes it even worse than anything else.

    That’s why we made Heron, a free theme that focuses on writing. It has almost no features at all.

    • No builders. No options.
    • No javascript. No google fonts. No icon fonts.
    • No sidebar. No widgets.
    • No FSE. Menus still in Appearance > Widgets, and options are still in Customizer.
    • Only 48kb file size. 10k css. Very lightweight.
    • 97/100 page speed for mobile. 100/100 for desktop. Nothing to be slow.
