That will never happen. Based on some of the events and attendance of those events the World Cup will be fine. Everybody just won’t be able to charge 1000% markups.
You said everything will be fine but the entire point is that’s not true… Things might be fine for ticket sales for the venues. But that doesn’t mean they’re fine for local businesses and local taxpayers who thought that they would be generating revenue for their local communities.
And that’s the whole point, right? This is commercialized to perfection and everyone has their payouts cleanly carved out so that local communities lose. A few very large corporations win, and of course the international soccer organization is notoriously corrupt and has been, so you know that they’re getting their payouts.
In other words, this is what happens when you have monopolies and capitalism is left unchecked. The customer gets f*****, local communities get f*****, some rich people make more money, and f*** them for being such greedy assholes.
If the World Cup has a lot of half empty stadia, I’d be happy.
It might be interesting if the Mexican and Canadian stadia were full though.
I hope Canadians grow a pair and boycott the entire thing. Fuck FIFA.
