"Ticket prices have received the greatest attention, but that's just one piece of the puzzle: People are worried about the affordability of everything from hotels and transportation to concessions and even merchandise."
"Taking a snapshot of the low end of what this trip of a lifetime might cost, even in the best-case scenario, makes it easier to understand just how financially accessible (or inaccessible) the World Cup could be."
