This is an absolute joke. A disgrace. I hope the stadiums are empty. It will be exactly what FIFA and Infantino deserve. pic.twitter.com/4SifcLv5Ti

and they are crazy high, attending a match is on average 370% more expensive than it was in Qatar in 2022
international fans are shocked while US fans are used to paying a lot for sport events
the Nations League was way cheaper
My ticket for the Nations League final was literally only €150 and it was a Category 1 seat right next to the pitch.
For €150 at the World Cup I might get a parking ticket… this is ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/lN6b31Yubc

It’s like it’s a badge of honour to have paid an extortionate amount to watch a sporting event.

also the new visa requirements are crazy
South Africa hosted one of the most successful FIFA World Cups alone.
The US needed Canada and Mexico to assist them host, and they still price out fans with £3,000 tickets. Then they also want us to provide our DNA and social media pages for our visa’s to be approved🤣🤣… https://t.co/EXPhmZ1Igx
