minus-squareblackn1ght@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 hours ago FIFA is now charging around $175 on average for parking spots at 2026 World Cup games in the United States. Holy shit - $175 to park your vehicle for one game?! What’s the chances that these venues are completely inacessible to public transport / walking?
minus-squareIWW4@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 hours agoHEHe if that 175 is a shock to you, wait until you look up the ticket prices. Also every hotel that is within any reasonable distance to a FIFA game will double their rates… at least double.
minus-squareblackn1ght@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 hours agoOh yeah I totally expet their rates to increase massively. And for people who made a reservation a long time ago who paid under the normal fee to have their booking suddenly cancelled.
minus-squareIWW4@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 hours agoThere is no way anyone made reservations under normal rates. The locations of FIFA games are set 8 years in advance. Hotels know how much they can charge for events likethis.
