But this is nothing new. It costs a boatload to attend a World Cup and everything gets jacked up. It's THE money making opportunity.
This was true when I went in 1994 when tickets were expensive (for the time) and so were hotels and merchandise. Fortunately I have relatives in Dallas so I stayed with them.
South Africa can't complain. How many vuvuzelas have they sold!?
