Personally no.
More and more I'm starting to believe that world cup is slowly loosing it's glare. Just like with the Olympics every new Championship will have weaker public interest than the last.

Statistics don't back up that argument though. While the Olympics may not sell out completely, the percentage of tickets sold relative to tickets available has been 90% or more since the 2008 Summer Olympics.

And even on an entertainment level I personally thought the Paris Olympics was an amazing event (sickness from swimming in the Seine aside).
I'm a few hours from a host city and want to go but may become prohibitively expensive and I haven't put any deposits or anything down yet.
The last time I was able to go to a World Cup match was in 2006 in Germany. It feels like a lifetime ago and the world has changed so much. Much as the tournaments in Russia or Qatar, it's not in my plans to go to the United States and win a free trip to El Salvador in the process.
Well, I live in a host city, so I've already put deposits down for seats. I refused to go to Russia and to Qatar, and couldn't find anyone to go with me to Brazil. I'm fucking going to at least one game, but if I didn't live in the US then I would either boycott it like I did Russia and Qatar or would go to Canada or Mexico for a game.
I wasn't planning already, but now there's no way
Planning on it!!
I'm in Canada. 😂🇨🇦
