Will this manage to have more human rights violations than the qatar one

I love how everything just keeps costing more despite not a single worker at any point in the process of providing these things is being paid more

[-] Hyper_red@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

They're literally basing the economy on 1% spending

[-] OffSeasonPrincess@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Hey what about "some assholes failson put in a managerial position making 100K+ a month+whatever they can skim off the top when no ones looking", theyre technically workers

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

They were making a lot of money before though and they're not making 4-6x as much now, i know I don't need to tell you but like it's just staggering how much is being squeezed from us just to make corporate profits 0.x% higher

5 million still ordered tickets. i-cant

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

1 percent of all humanity is still tens of millions of people with infinite money

Yea i reckon theres lots of wealthy expats living in the us who want to watch their teams

Honestly it might be their most profitable games

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago

Idk man. I know a lot of football fans who spend a shit ton of money going to matches they can't really afford.

[-] Edamamebean@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

I love that they picked a bunch of cities with absolutely dogshit practically non existent public transit. I'm sure the traffic in LA, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta (among other locations) will be nightmarish.

[-] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

if visitors are willing to pay those prices for tickets, they'll be more than happying paying extortionate fees for ubers that'll be sat in traffic for 18 hours on match days

It'll work, because the US is a very populous wealthy nation. Qatar is very wealthy, but has a tiny population. As shown by the Taylor Swift concert ticket saga, plenty of people in the US are prepared to pay these prices. And that's before talking about wealthy foreigners.

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I know Americans who travelled to her European shows because the tickets were 1/4 of US prices because the EU still has some consumer protections. They were able to pay for the show, transportation and lodging for less than the price of a single ticket in the US.

i wonder how rich i'd have to be to consider paying 12k to attend a show with a friend.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

8 figures. i knew / worked for someone in that category. inherited 8 figures at birth. they were a monstrous person. they didn't say specifics, but one could piece it together.

apparently one weekend their spouse flew off to some city and dropped like $40k that weekend on like accomodations, food, and a shopping spree.

same person would dodge me at payroll time for my shitty $1200/mo and invite themselves out to drinks with their employees, order a bunch of shit, and then realize they "forgot their wallet" and never pay anyone back.

people at this level of wealth are all garbage.

[-] OffSeasonPrincess@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Id feel like an ass if i had multimillionaire money and spent 12K on that instead of like, giving it away

[-] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

I will happily watch it on illegal and ad-free streams. Will also be proselytizing this strategy among everyone I know (as I always do, but extra now)

I went to South American recently and people were like, “World Cup 2026 in the US!” And my response was, “Yeah, sorry about that.”

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Pure poetry

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

At this rate by the year 2100 - World Cup opening tickets will start out at $20,000,000.*

My cousin was sort of arguing with me about not going to a game but like it’s expensive af. He went to Russia in 2018 for a group stage game but I’m sure all of that travel and match tickets were way cheaper

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Can't wait for the US to not at all get the Qatar treatment from foreign journalists, even though it really should
