'Absolutely insane': Fans hoping to attend World Cup already feel priced out

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MIAMI — Soccer fans are already counting down the days and circling their calendars. This summer, FIFA will stage its largest-ever World Cup in North America, with 48 soccer teams playing in 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

But despite blockbuster anticipation, there’s one looming question: Can fans afford to attend the games?

Many potential buyers online have expressed shock and outrage over the global tournament’s ticket prices, raising fears that some of the beautiful game’s most die-hard supporters will be priced out of the sport’s marquee event.

In the latest World Cup ticketing phase, known as the Random Selection Draw, some group stage seats cost as much as $700. Most World Cup final tickets were listed for thousands of dollars. Facing backlash, FIFA added a limited number of $60 tickets for each match. But that hasn’t allayed concerns of fans — including the likes of the United Kingdom’s prime minister.

If you trigger a moron at border control. Or aren't the right color, or are speaking the wrong language on the street here. Or just because...
ICE is filled with sadistic morons trying to meet their quotas.
Stay safe, don't come to the US. I'm saying this because I love people from other countries and don't want them to suffer here.
