World Cup fans priced out by soaring hotel and ticket prices in Vancouver
Vancouver is one of 16 host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but soaring hotel rates — reaching up to $1,000 a night on match days — and high ticket prices are placing the tournament out of reach for many residents and fans.A chronic shortage of hotel rooms, tightened short-term rental laws, and what some industry insiders have called outright price gouging by hoteliers have compounded the crisis.
FIFA's abrupt cancellation of 70 to 80 percent of its pre-booked hotel reservations in late March deepened disruption for tour operators and convention groups.
Already ranked one of the least affordable cities in North America, with a cost of living roughly 40 percent above the national average, Vancouver faces broader questions about accessibility and inclusion as the tournament approaches.
