This world cup is particularly gross with the extra focus on premium tiers. Is that not relevant just because you think a trip to Disney is expensive?Oh no. The World Cup is expensive
BBC have a delightful piece reminding just how so
They should try costing up a Disney trip
What isnt expensive anymore.

Anyone who's not boycotting it after the disgusting actions by Infantino this week seriously needs to consider their priorities in life.
God complex shit. Utterly revolting.What a prick
Hi Ed WoodwardOh no. The World Cup is expensive

It refreshing to be able to boycott a World Cup and not be called a racist.
Yeah, i don't know about China, but for India that halved the asking price and there's still no takers.They're going to end up not making the killing they expect. There's going to be empty seats and they wont get the amounts on broadcast and streaming rights they want either.
No WC 2026 broadcast rights deal in India and China

It's more a case of the atmosphere will probably be a bit shit. Teams traveling around the continent, not having a home base, expensive prices driving out a big chunk of real supporters... Also definitely some of those smaller matches will definitely be partially empty. No chance they all sell out.People are going to be disappointed if they are rooting for empty stadiums. Every game in the U.S. will be packed. It sucks, but we have too many people that still want to go just to be a part of it and are not worried about the politics or the price gouging.
Give me a C!It's more a case of the atmosphere will probably be a bit shit.

I mean I honestly don’t know why you can’t understand what I posted…This guy hasn't come back to elaborate on his point (if it could be described as such).
Shocked.

But I’ll try to say it another way.,,
Everything is expensive. Especially premier sporting events. F1, US masters, Wimbledon. They’re expensive for a reason….exactly because they are premier sporting events. Don’t recall bbc writing articles about the cost of a week long trip from US to Wimbledon for example. Just a poor article I was referring to
There's "everything is expensive" and then there is charging minimum $1300 as the retail price for Canada vs Bosnia in Toronto. It's predatory prices. The question isn't if they'll sell out, it's about doing "what's right" to give people a fair price and fair chance to get them. Not price out so many people out of it and making it a sport for the rich.I mean I honestly don’t know why you can’t understand what I posted…

Thats just not true though. The previous world cup was far more affordable than this one. The prices for 2026 are madness and completely disproportionate.But footbal is cheap. I could watch the whole world cup paying maybe 2-5 usd tops for special streamer (official)
Going to watch live is not. So.. there's that
You dont need to watch live to enjoy the worldcup, that is the privilege for the rich sadly. But the worldcup alone is easily accessible
This guy hasn’t provided any point during conversation but instead just questioned my opinion.So that's your point? You needn't have bothered.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/72...ino-israel-palestine-fifa-congress-handshake/What did Infantino do last week? Clearly living under a rock here.
I won't watch a single minute of this just like the last one.
Between the matches being played in the middle of the night and my general antipathy towards both FIFA and the US, boycotting it will be easy.
Prices?Just got an email from Soccer Canada, tickets still available for every game in Canada by the looks of it. I put my name in tbe draw for the Round of 32 match in Toronto. Second place in Group L v Second place in Group L. If Croatia wins the group, England will play in Toronto on Ju,y 2nd.
