    Mostly for show, tickets to this are like $2000 per person at the absolute minimum. They generally prey on the poor.

        This was when I looked months ago before anyone knew who was going.

        Now that we know who’s going I’m sure demand has spiked.

        Oh absolutely. You’re generally either rich or win a contest of some kind.

        Some people who are somewhat well off might save for years waiting for their team to go. But most are happy to just host/go to a watch party locally.
