Club World Cup 2025 - Who’s going?

That’s not really happened has it.

I’ve been saving for nearly 10 years for the 2026 World Cup in the States next year. £50 a month in a pot with 7 mates. But having seen the ticket prices for this, the corruption endemic in FIFA and Trump in power again, I’m really having second thoughts.

A cricket tour or football trip to Argentina is starting to look more appealing.

Honestly, either of your second options sound better. Especially as someone who really wants to do the Argentina thing at some point.

American sport is just an exercise in extortion and advertising. They proved this in Copa America which shouldn't have been there in the first place.

As an FYI I did the Argentina/Uruguay thing in October and managed to get to 8 games in 10 days in BA/Montevideo so feel free to PM me if you want any tips when you get round to planning a trip.
 
Ridiculous prices , $2100 if you want to follow City all the way if we get to the final . $900 for the final. Do they even charge that for the World Cup final? When you add up the accommodation flights and the absurd amount of tipping on everything , I reckon even a very careful budget would be doing well to get out for $6000 to attend the whole event.

In answer to your question - is a big markup on the last world cup (I went all the way to the final).
2026 is going to be the most expensive world cup ever for tickets.
3 weeks ago I was a definite for this tournament but now I am a possible - and I would not say probable. Am appalled at the price.
If you are going for a holiday - good luck to you - but the degree of apathy I see from people who go to european away games is quite noticeable.

Been doing England cricket tours for 20 years and can thoroughly recommend it. SA is the next good one after the overrated Ashes, great country and cheap as chips.
Mind you I'm thinking of cutting back to go and see South America so your alternative looks good as well.

Looking again - those prices are worse than I thought. The seats are behind the goal. Might look into the British Lions Tour.
 
To add to my previous posts I can’t see too many other than North American supporters club fans going so huge prices without much in the way of atmosphere. Saudi Arabia for the 2023 version was a bargain compared to this . And if the event IS well attended, there’ll be a further dry bumming on the accommodation prices.

Airbnb or hotels.com with a complimentary tube of KY jelly.
