I get the supply and demand argument because America. Don’t like it but.. America (and Canada and Mexico, though I think it’s more FIFA than the hosts)
But surely they’ve misjudged this. Matches where there’s a huge diaspora locally or within a reasonable internal flight distance I’m sure will be busy but the accommodation prices are obscene along with flights and travel domestically. Just don’t see how enough people from even the main European nations are travelling nor enough locals filling the gaps. Maybe I’m wrong.

Some will of course. I’m sure people have been saving up and this is their big thing every four years and good on them if it’s what they want to do. But 60-80000 or even a decent fraction of that? Just don’t see it.

It's sport not business (yeah, right!) Either way, 'supply and demand' can and should do one.
I'd love it (just love it) if fans put two fingers up to FIFA and America and boycotted/deserted the tournament. Half-empty stands would do wonders for the sponsors' spirits, I'm sure. If you're a player and you've got even a smidgen of socioeconomic consicence, you don't play, surely? (Yea, right!)
