    As an American, you would have to be so fucking stupid to come here for this.

    source
    • AreaKode@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      At least you only need a one-way ticket. Your return flight will be at no cost to you. Although the destination is not negotiable.

        Good luck seeing the game then. "No return ticket? That's suspicious, you won't be allowed to enter."

    Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.

    If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.

      I’m Canadian, and there’s a work conference in the states in an area I really would have wanted to go to if it were a year ago.

      All expenses paid by the company for a week of travel and schmoozing.

      Still not going.

      You can go see it in Mexico instead, and get picked off the streets by a cartels instead.

        Or just come to Canada and die in a fire that was set by the mafia in your egressless airbnb.

    Don’t forget the Ticketmaster fee.

    FIFA is one of the most corrupt, rotten organisations on the planet.

      Well then they’ve found the perfect country

      source
      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, that’s almost certainly a significant to decisive part of the reason why the US bid was accepted over the other applications: the bribes and the president basically being the American Infantino.

    Ending up on an ICE concentration camp: priceless

    Between the ticket prices and the, ah, challenging political climate in the US, I am really curious what game attendance will be.

    source
    • iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Packed. I sadly have no doubt.

      source
      • kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, then ICE will raid the events.

        source
    • Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Will probably be great in Mexico and Canada, they’ll probably fill the stadiums there with the people who don’t want to go to the US to see it.

      It’s the most popular sporting event on the planet in a country with 300 million people, this is nothing like the Club World Cup that was held this year. The lack of tourists might not be a problem, save for maybe atmosphere.

      This chart, with the huge ticket prices, is why the US was chosen.

      source
  • Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Sucks to be Mexican. The world cups finally coming to your country after 40 years and the tickets are too expensive for the locals to afford.

    It is legitimately dangerous to travel to the United States, because of state sanctioned violence.

    At least there’s price gouging to offset concerns about personal safety, the very real possibility of being sent to a Concentration Camp, etc.

    • DagwoodIII@piefed.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Remember the 1936 Berlin Games?

      iirc the government went out of its way to be accommodating to all attendees.

        Banking on Trump being as coordinated and thoughtful as Hitler is not an overly wise way to reassure people.

        Hitler cared about world perception of the Reich. Trump isn’t looking to earn adoration and praise, he thinks it’s his due.

    Lol.

    The Divided States of Trashcanistan hasn’t hosted since 1994 and it’s going to be an absolute garbage shitshow for the wealthy only. Probably plagued with ICE terrorists. Not to mention another year under this admin and the dollar will probably have tanked another 10% and our cost of living will probably be even more absurd.

    There’s going to be 6 games within a 2 hour drive from me and I have no intention of going to any of them, despite spending the last few decades fantasizing about going to a World Cup game with some friends.

    Pathetic shithole.

      For the cheapest ticket you could have flown to the (excellent) womans European championship, got a CAT1 ticket,see Geneva and fly back.

    The 2022 World Cup was literally built by slaves. It has a way of keeping prices down.

      2014 Germany for the final at category 1 was 990$, less than half, accounting for inflation and generously rounding this would be 1400$.

      It’s not like those savings were passed down to the consumer. They were pocketed by corrupt officials.

    I however found it mildly interesting that Zohran Mamdani was making this part of the issues he’s messaging about for NYC, to at least drive down the price for locals. Free childcare, public owned groceries, sure, but FIFA tickets? Yet this graphic kinda puts that in perspective, so I get it.

    Same price for games in Mexico and the US. That’s not good for Mexicans.
