    Let’s face it, if you can afford to fly to US for a couple of weeks to watch football you’re not the ‘normal’ fan, most ‘normal’ fans are more worried about paying their bills next month.

    The only tickets currently available from FIFA, for England's opening game against Croatia in Dallas, are $3,450.00 each (though you get lounge access as well).

    FIFA aren’t allowing it. They are the ones complicit in it. It is down to them.

    Haven’t got me bins on and misread that as nearly three and a half million dollars (commas, decimal points, meh).

    My first thought was ‘pricey, but with FIFA nothing surprises me.’

    I agree, that's why I mentioned it to the girl on the counter. Maybe it doesn't include the travel, maybe it's ticket and hotel only. Still it's cheap. I thought WC final tickets would start at say £3,750...I don't know because I didn't enquire. The only way to find out is to give them a ring or call in person. There was also something about going to Benidorm and watching football in a pub whilst getting $hit-faced.

    Maybe they missed out a digit or I misread it, but I'm certain it said £1,499.00

    Maybe the flights and accommodation during the World Cup, but sort your own tickets?

    It's possible. I might go back in the next couple of days and see if the advert is still there....I'm sure if said something like see the World Cup final, for £1,499.00 but checking out the cost of tickets I'm beginning to have second thoughts

    I would guess that it probably said World Cup Finals, rather than World Cup Final and it actually includes a ticket for an early group game.

    Qatar Airways quoted me for flights, 8 nights hotel - internal transfers, two England matches from group stage - $9800 - no thanks

    So if I rock up to the MetLife stadium in New Jersey on 27th June to try and get a ticket for England v Panama. I'm wondering how much a genuine ticket would cost, assuming they've not all sold out, or how much a tout would be asking. Anyone care to give a guessimate?
