I thought they were taking the pee in Qatar with tickets starting at about £700, but this is another level. It'd be great if fans sent a message to FIFA by boycotted the whole tournament, but I can't see that happening and the final will sell out, so FIFA won't question their approach one bit. |  |

No doubt you will have to show a Donal trump heart tattoo to get entry and half time will be Trump himself rising from a giant clamshell. Plenty of vaseline needed to extract Fifas heads from his a hole. That's me no longer allowed into the Country as you have to show 5 years social media to gain entry. Oh well. |  | |  |

It was reported that hotel.prices are sky-high too, with match-night prices in host cities at around 4x the regular cost. US is already not cheap, so you're looking at around $1,000 a night. The complexities & costs of travel are going to be interesting too. Some very, very long trips to follow your team, and few options other than air travel. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think they have. If you try and hide the misdemeanours, you'll get caught. Do it in plain sight and get away scott free. |  |

Been on a similar journey and won't be going anywhere near the world cup. FIFA has long been a joke of an organisation, you only have to read up on those who voted for Qatar to see how institutionally corrupt they are. The world cups of the past where fans were based in one area, ticket prices were affordable and camp sites were set up for those on a budget are long gone. Am at an age and fortunate where I could afford to go but I won't. Euros are much more appealing as are cricket tours tbh. If I wanted an over priced light show I'd go and watch some pop concert. |  |

The football business doesn’t give much of a crap about fans who go to games, unfortunately. Clubs are still generally on board with considering attending fans, although not always with some of the silly ticket prices. And obviously we’re milked when we’re in grounds for crap food/drinks at inflated prices. But generally it’s not too bad. The League and Tournament owners on the other hand… it’s all about global income and I’m convinced they couldn’t care less about actual fans. FIFA would be happy with a stadium full of corporates as long as they get huge broadcast fees. [Post edited 11 Dec 22:00]

I remember breathing a sigh of relief when Blatter went, thinking we would get a new age of decency and honesty Lol |  | |  |

Same as with things like the Oasis concert where the higher the demand the higher the price. Just don't pay it. Tell em to shove it where the sun don't shine. |  | |  |
| You're going to have to re-mortage your house for a WC Final Ticket! on 14:59 - Dec 12 with 274 views | OldFart71 | Another question that needs to be asked is why fans of a country playing in a 65,000 plus seater stadium only gets 3,500 tickets. Probably a case as always of a large swathe of what Roy Keane called the "Prawn sandwich brigade" Why is there the need to give these people who have no love or desire for the peoples game to be sitting in the stand or corporate boxes looking as bored as hell to be at these games. |  | |  |
| You're going to have to re-mortage your house for a WC Final Ticket! on 15:08 - Dec 12 with 265 views | hammo56 | Followed England home and away for nearly 20 years but gave up after Euro 2020. If I was still an England fan member certainly no way I would consider paying that amount for a ticket. I know quite a few members who are top cappers and are giving this World Cup a miss due to the cost. As already been said those ticket prices are a disgrace. |  | |  |

I predicted this a few years ago for this World Cup, US market and pricing, FIFA, NFL owners that combination was never good for face value tickets. Thing is, they could have done something for the federations with allocations that small and then let the other 90% of the stadium be to the highest bidder but instead they just set the face value across the board as that high. For it to be $700 for Cat 1 at group stages is pretty insane but not surprising to me. |  |

Don't think it's that to be honest. There will be big demand to watch the top European nations at this World Cup and pricing in the US is high to start with. NFL single game tickets can often go for $500-700 in lower sidelines. People pay it out here and average wages are higher (along with cost of living). |  |
