The cost of football

It’s football, right, not soccer.

We’re not big fans of sport, and every so often, there’s news to remind us why.

The latest thing is the World Cup, happening in Mexico, Canada and the USA later in the year.

We have seen articles and videos about the costs being charged for matches this year. It does seem like a ticket for the final in the gods could be $11,000 ish. Yes, that’s not a typo.

People have been reporting prices increasing as they looked at the sales sites.

There’s no way to know who will be in the final. If they are charging really high prices for the earlier matches with (sorry) obscure teams, we can see empty stadia.

Spectators are also getting ripped for hotel prices, and even public transport(ation) seems off the scale. A 30 minute train trip to a New York venue is $150.
