Well, you would think at the last, like last summer, the Club World Cup, which was a bit of a damn squib, obviously, and which was supposed to be a for, you know, kind of a forerunner for this, a raw testing for this World Cup.
They were selling tickets at the last minute for $10 for Chelsea games for that competition.
So, you know, on the day you could buy a ticket for that.
So I don't know.
I don't know about the MTC.
I think some of the games like, you know, Jordan versus Algeria, you know, I don't see how that's going to fill.
Congo versus Uzbekistan and Atlanta.
Again, you know, tickets for that are currently going for almost $300.
There's a number of things there, Matt.
Firstly, the hotels were charging premium pricing and FIFA had block-booked hotels to drive the prices up, to ramp the prices up in the hotels.
And FIFA have now had to admit that they don't need many of the hotel rooms that they block-booked.
So I don't know will the hotels eventually... I know the hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas City, they're reporting massive
amount of empty rooms that they did not expect to have, like 50% less than they expected by this time.
80 or 90% in Kansas City, actually, they're in complete shock at the lack of hotel bookings.
And then that feeds into the second point you're making about the visas.
You know, there are countries, a lot of countries are currently blocked from visiting America.
I think 40 plus countries, you cannot get a visa.
to visit the United States.
And obviously we have the Iranian issue.
The Iranian players are allowed in, but they have to go back to Mexico.
