As the 2026 FIFA World Cup progresses, some visitors are saying they did not expect concession food prices to be so high.

“It’s unfair. It’s not right. It’s wrong,” Thomas Schüller, an engineer from Germany lamented. His beer, bought in Toronto to watch his national team play over the weekend, cost him 24.25 Canadian dollars (about $17 or 15 euros). “It’s three times the cost of what I pay in my country.”

But price didn’t matter for the engineer as he acknowledged he still ended up with the beverage in his hand, he told The Associated Press.

Prices across World Cup stadiums

Schüller isn’t the only one experiencing high prices. The prices in some stadiums could cost a day’s worth of work, like in Mexico City, where a beer is selling for 299 pesos. A daily minimum wage in the reason is 315.04 pesos, roughly $18.

But that isn’t even the most expensive beer. According to a Newsweek map, Levi’s Stadium in California sells the beverage for $21.50. Mercedes-Benz Stadium comes in as the lowest — the Georgia location offers beverages for $9.

The most expensive in Canada is $17 and Mexico’s most expensive comes in at Guadalajara at $18.89.

While prices have taken many visitors by surprise, they come as little surprise to Americans who are used to high concession costs, according to AP.

Along with high ticket prices and travel costs, concessions is just another expense to tack on.
