Fans at Levi\u2019s Stadium are looking at $34.24 for a beer and basic meal, while the same basic match-day purchase at Estadio Akron is just $9.77,\u201d SeatPick CEO Gilad Zilberman said. \u201cThat is a major difference, especially for supporters travelling with children or planning to attend several matches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Estadio Akron in Guadalajara is the most affordable World Cup venue overall, with the combined cost of one beer and one basic meal coming out to $9.77. That is a $24.47 difference from Levi\u2019s Stadium, underlining how sharply match-day costs can vary depending on where fans are watching.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico\u2019s three World Cup venues make up the cheapest end of SeatPick\u2019s ranking. Estadio Azteca in Mexico City follows Akron at $10.77, while Estadio BBVA in Monterrey ranks third-cheapest at $13.90. By comparison, the cheapest U.S. venue is GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where the same basic match-day purchase costs $22.37.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The difference is especially stark when comparing the most expensive U.S. venue with the most affordable stadium in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[245,1503,85,46,1326,105,2586,6866],"class_list":["post-452232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-canada","tag-culture","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-mexico","tag-sports","tag-usa","tag-world-cup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
