Don’t need a hotel room to watch TV.
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Prices are way too high and our cities are Rat-run s___-holes.
Everybody got WAYYYYY too greedy on this one.
It shall be interesting to see what happens.
I don’t care about soccer.
Damn expensive! I didn’t know Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift played soccer.
Everyone has their druthers, but I’d rather watch Caitlin Clark play basketball or Nelly Korda play golf.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is exclusively a men’s tournament. It will feature national teams competing in men’s football (soccer) and will take place in North America, with matches held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada
What’s a World Cup. Never heard of FIFA, I know FAFO but not FIFA.
Nobody has any effing money! We’re being squeezed from all sides globally.
Let’s see: feed my family or take a trip to watch a game (that’s prolly already been decided anyhow...the black/brown team gonna win, decided three days before THE ACTUAL GAME cuz “diversity “).
Tough times
FIFA really over played their hand.
Example: You live in Europe or South America which has a strong soccer following. Pay a couple thousand to fly to Kansas City (for example) to watch a game whose tickets are a couple thou per game. Spend another thousand for hotels and meals etc. You are into this one game for 8 to 10,000 bucks. Who has money like that save for the 1 percenters?
My guess; the tickets were way too expensive in the first place but were bought up by scalpers, only to not be able to unload them for a profit, so there’s very few buying them and looking for a hotel.
Even if they do buy a ticket and look for a hotel, the prices are probably driving people to suck up a longer drive to a game.
Greed. It’s supposed to be a game for the regular folks, cheap and easy to play or watch.
Because soccer is boring.
I doubt there’s anything for the hotels to worry about. Soccer fans are bat-sh** crazy for a boring game! If they’ll pay $2500 for a ticket, I doubt they’d sleep in the park instead of a hotel room.
My bumper sticker: FOfifa!
I would bet they did in fact sell 5 million tickets, but that many of them were bought in anticipation of being resold on Stubhub type exchanges for a profit.
Hotels and flights are a better gauge of how many people will come. Maybe many of the cities hosting games will be viewed live by people who can drive in and out for the day.
In any case, the free market drives it. Air and lodging is expensive and a bit of a hassle especially for foreigners trying to get in. I don’t know exactly where each of the major teams are playing or where the brackets will be located but it may involve 2 or 3 flights for each person who wants to come in. For example if you had to fly from Dusseldorf to London to New York to Wherever in America. That’s closing in on 24 hours just for travel.
What did they expect when they made tickets $11,000?

Nobody in America wants to watch soccer.
Who watches this pathetic “sport”? It is a game of losers.
