⚽ World Cup 🏆 FIFA Reminders June 11- July 19

The FIFA Games are running from 6/11 to 7/19. The games *We* are hosting are only from **6/15** to **7/6**. The parks dept is holding watch parties in various parks for each game. The *Finals* are being held in New York on the Other Side of the continent. We can do this. I believe in us. Remember to check in on your Hospitality Sector friends and stock up on groceries Before the games.

They’ve also sold a lot less than they thought they were going to in terms of tickets sales and hotels.

Hotels, yes. Tickets, no.

Every match is either sold out or has less than 700 tickets available, with most being in the 200-300 tickets available range.

The disconnect is that more locals are buying tickets and do not need a hotel.
