Argentina fans who travelled hoping to see Lionel Messi at one of his final World Cup appearances are finding themselves priced out of stadiums and accommodation. With hotel prices soaring and ticket resale costs reaching thousands of dollars, some supporters are resorting to camper vans and caravan parks near stadiums just to stay within reach of the action. While a few lucky fans who won ticket lotteries have managed to make the trip more affordable, many others say rising costs have made following their team in person impossible. As the tournament continues across the United States, fans are increasingly divided between those who can afford the experience—and those watching from afar.
