Soccer fans heading to New Jersey for the World Cup final face paying exorbitant fees to stay near MetLife Stadium – and that’s before they even buy a ticket to the game.
Supporters from all around the globe will descend on Mexico, Canada and the United States this summer for the biggest tournament in sports.
MetLife Stadium – the home of the New York Jets and Giants – will host the final on July 19 and already prices are skyrocketing for homestays near the arena.
The Daily Mail found one seven bedroom-property in nearby Jersey City that will cost nearly $27,000 for the three nights, while another six-bedroom home is listed for nearly $23,000.
A house in North Bergen, which contains five bedrooms, will cost you $17,450 while those fans hoping to stay in Manhattan can find a four-bedroom home in Midtown for $29,750.
Several two- and three-bedroom homes – which can sleep up to seven guests and are a five-minute drive from the stadium – will set you back more than $12,000.
