The cost of visiting and experiencing the US during the 2026 World Cup has garnered much attention this summer.
While Americans are accustomed to paying over the top for sports tickets, food inside stadiums and more, it has been quite the shock for many travelling supporters who are spending their summer in the USA.

Car park for World Cup game charged $150
TikTok user Simon Wilson shared a video of himself and some others driving up to a car park in the US and he could not believe how much he and his friends were going to have to pay.
Wilson expressed his shock at multiple points throughout the clip, and even asked one attendant if the price included washing the car.
He said: "No, that can't be right. $150 to park the car? That can't be right. No, I don't believe it."
Wilson added later in the video: "$150 to park the car mate, I'm honestly, I'm in shock."

The fan then stated towards the end of the post: "$150 to park the car and $600 for oversized. Mate, it's a joke."
But it is not just the USA's prices that have shocked World Cup tourists this summer either.
Fans slammed the 'abhorrent' price of a sandwich and a Coke at the Toronto Stadium during a match last month.
Elsewhere, during the opening game in Mexico City, food prices stunned World Cup supporters at the match between Mexico and South Africa.
Still, while the cost of many things in North America has been shocking to some, the overall vibe fans have given off this summer is that they have enjoyed their stays across the three countries, even if it is more expensive than they are used to.
