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

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.

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

Ending up on an ICE concentration camp: priceless

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.

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

also you get to be deported ! what a shit show

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.

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.

Don't forget the Ticketmaster fee.

The RWC (rugby world cup) after this in Australia will have $20 tickets for kids...

We bought a few tickets. I have always wanted to go to a world cup match. We have no idea who is playing. We can't resell the tickets if the teams don't match. It is so fucking stupid. My wife got kinda tricked as she knows I always wanted to go. Fuck FIFA and USA soccer for being compliant.

I am so done with these enormous events. Money fucks up everything. FIFA, IOC, Formula 1, (any other sufficiently large international sports organization, tbh), Eurovision, they all suck. Corrupt leadership in the pockets of the worst states: Russia, Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Trump's regime, France 😉

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.

People who want to go there deserve to be scammed into bankruptcy.

How many people died again for the one in Qatar?

Think America will match it?

Tariffs

Well, duh, no one wanted to watch it in fucking Qatar.

That’s fantastic, I wouldn’t have come anyway.

the most depressing part is how small this page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-FIFA_international_football

WTF. This is such a huge waste of money. I don't know how people spend this much money to watch OTHER PEOPLE play a sport. A couple hundred at most.

Ir's a new world, designed for and by rich people. They plan to replace most of us with AI and automation, and want us to fight each to the death until 70% of the population is gone.

Is this that Akufo league I've been hearing about?

Is that standard uniform ticketmaster prices? What are typical NFL regular, playoff, and superbowl prices?

NFL Ticket prices
Season/Round Price Range Notes
Regular Season $50 - $500+ Upper-level seats can start around $50-$100, while premium lower-level and club seats can cost $200-$500+. The average NFL ticket price in 2023 was $377, a jump from $235 in 2022. Team popularity and opponent rivalry significantly influence pricing. According to vocal.media, the average cost of NFL season tickets in 2024 ranged between $600 and $3,000 per seat.
Wild Card Round Starting around $145 Prices can fluctuate, with some games seeing higher averages.
Divisional Round Starting around $400 Some games have averaged around $993.
Conference Championships Starting around $800 Expect to pay at least $800 for the most affordable tickets.
Super Bowl Starting around $2,000 - $3,000 Seats can exceed $1,800, especially in high-demand markets. The average price for Super Bowl 2025 tickets was reported at $8,076 by StubHub, down 14% from 2024. Previous Super Bowls have seen average prices like $12,082 (2024) and $8,907 (2023). Prices on the secondary market are typically higher than face value.

I don't expect a lot of tourism demand to come to US, especially with ICE announcing any excuse to raid the superbowl of all events. World cup is more popular with immigrants and tourists than NFL, and "NFL demographic" tends to have low interest in soccer. MLS (pro soccer in US) is 6x lower ticket prices than NFL.

It's because of the tariffs.

Stupid event is coming to my area. Our traffic already sucks, fuck the hell off.
