FIFA is really making it difficult for a cross section of economic classes of spectators to enjoy the World Cup in the stadiums in USA, Canada and Mexico. Very expensive dynamic pricing!

I hate it when DSTV Supersport has the incorrect schedule on their TV Guide. I think they treat subscribers like idiots. If one can afford the premium bouquet of viewing one gets the 'royal' treatment. Other bouquets get the remainder of what is leftover to view. #missedClubWorldCupGame
