Full disclosure, I’m not a beer drinker. Never really have been. Not since I sampled a beer that my dad was drinking on the porch on a sunny afternoon and I thought, “Ick, you like this?” Having said that it seems to me that the cost of beer at a sports stadium is almost criminal.
Concession prices at stadiums and arenas are always inflated. I mean, that’s a given. But it seems like during the World Cup they have exploded in many cities, including Seattle.
Most expensive World Cup beer.
If you look at the data, the most expensive beer during the World Cup is being sold in San Francisco, $24.50 for a beer. To me, that is just insane, drink water. Keep in mind, we’re talking about a beer that ranges from 16 to 20 ounces.
The second most expensive World Cup beer can be found in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, $18.58.
LA comes in #3 at $18.50, Kansas City at $18.39.
Seattle comes in at #5.
A world cup beer in Seattle cost $17.99, and that’s domestic. If you want a craft or imported beer, it’s $18.99.
Ok, you want some food to go along with that beer during the world cup. A soft pretzel sells for $13.49. Or you can go with something simple like cotton candy, only $11.99…
