Sign up here.\n\nMore staggering prices have emerged as Thursday’s curtain raiser between Mexico and South Africa draws closer.\n\nPictures shared on social media showed the price list at a FIFA-sponsored fan festival in Kansas City where the England team is based.\n\nA pint of Stella or Budweiser set punters back $19 (£14.20) with a non-alcoholic version going for $12. Soft drinks were priced at $7 (£5.20) with a bottle of water $4 (£2.99). Anyone fancying a snack had to stump up $5 for a bag of Doritos.\n\n> Some of the drink prices at England v New Zealand.

Kuntz (@HaroldRKuntz3) June 9, 2026\n\nMatch ticket holders were informed that reusable bottles would not be permitted in stadia, despite having been previously assured transparent empty bottles up to one litre would be allowed.\n\nIn a change of policy, Fifa backtracked and announced that fans would now be allowed to bring ‘one, soft, plastic, 20 ounces (590ml), factory sealed disposable water bottle’ to all matches in the US and Canada.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
