Empty rooms and Fifa cancellations - US hotels fear World Cup washout

[indusurb]

33. I live relatively near KC

There is massive road construction across the state, not just I70 but other major roads to KC. So locals aren't traveling much. Ticket prices, and the way ticket sales in general were handled were a nightmare. Register for a drawing with no guarantee of a ticket, and no guarantee where your seat was, more than a pain. Plus every hotel and Air B&B within a hundred mile radius immediately jacked rates through the roof. It's not happening.

My wife and I were wanting to go when the KC games were first announced, but then came the construction, ticket and hotel prices, and we decided to punt. Sadly we're going to punt the LA Olympics, but that's because it's going to be the Trump Olympics, and we're not going to pay to support that shitshow.
