Fifa’s $95 Bus Ticket: The World Cup That Now Actively Hates Its Fans
The 2026 World Cup is set to be the most expensive and fan-unfriendly yet, with examples like a $95 bus ticket for a short journey and over $100 for a train shuttle. This reflects Fifa’s profit-driven model, where they capture most revenue while hosts bear costs.
The tournament is characterized by a hostile atmosphere, including travel bans and intrusive entry procedures, leading to criticism that it actively ‘hates’ its fans by prioritizing profit over their experience.
