The 2026 World Cup has been a story of high ticket prices, expensive accommodation and train fares way above normal rates.
It has been clear for a while that, on cost alone, this tournament is set to be like no other.
What if you decided, today, that you fancied a trip over to the United States to watch England or Scotland?
BBC Sport has plotted a route through the group stage and found that England supporters would need about £6,500 each or £13,000 for two.
The cost for a single person would be higher as accommodation prices are for twin or double rooms.
But for a family of four with two pre-teen children (though you would have to take them out of school), the cost sky-rockets to more than £22,000.
England fans get a good deal in Dallas but Scotland have eight nights in Boston - one of the most expensive cities.
Two Scots would face spending about £7,500 each, while a family would have to find more than £25,000.

I did suggest going to the World Cup with my eldest son…… he didn’t get back to me
