It's about fleecing the fans.
Everything in this World Cup is about fleecing the fans at every possible turn.
They don't want you to be able to refill a reusable water bottle because Coca-Cola have their water brand Dasani in the stadiums and they want you to pay $6 for a bottle of water, which is kind of normal in American sports stadiums, unfortunately.
when you're attending a game.
But that's what that's about.
The whole thing is about the shakedown.
You know, this is the ultimate.
I think all World Cups are a little bit like this, but this is taking it to the next level, like shaking people down at every possible turn.
Like, you know, to get to a game at MetLife Stadium, if it's an NFL game, it usually costs you 12 bucks for a train from Penn Station to MetLife.
Now it's 98 bucks on the days of World Cup matches.
Same train journey from Boston to Gillette Stadium, usually $20.
That's $80 on the days of these games.
So at every turn, they want to fleece people.
the train that's the train operators like that's the the new jersey transit in this case we make it we'll be making the money um and then you know to go for okay i'll rent a car and i'll drive to the game it's usually 60 to park uh at a new england patriots game they have a lot of parking
By Gillette Stadium, $60 tip for a game.
It's $175 for a World Cup match.
Absolutely.
And to give you an idea, New Jersey Transit initially said the $12 ticket was going to be $150.
And then they said, all right, we're going a little too far.
We'll just go back to 98.
