OK. First, FIFA booking out a heap of hotel rooms then dropping them when they realised they won’t be able to scalp them is shitty behaviour, but probably not out of the norm. Raising prices to astronomical heights is also shitty behaviour, but it’s the capitalist nation of the world so what do you expect?
The elephant in the room that got glossed over with one sentence in the article is: nobody in their right mind wants to visit the USA. The place is a fucking disaster and the chances of a foreigner getting shot, locked up or deported for pretty much no reason is so high you’ve got to be a total fuckwit to want to go there. If I was given a free ticket to the US with spending money included, I’d still be asking for a refund.
I still hope the Canada and Mexico games are completely sold out though. Watching the juxtaposition of empty “free world” stadia vs full “shit hole country” stadia is going to be glorious.

They won’t let that happen, they’ll give away tickets to homeless people to get bums on seats if that’s what it takes.
