Fans set to shell out big money for World Cup 2023 final

The World Cup 2023 fever will likely peak when tournament hosts India step out to take the field against five-time winners Australia in Ahmedabad. The Narendra Modi Stadium, the venue of the much-awaited final, is set to host over 1.20 lakh spectators for the proceedings on November 19.

According to Narendra Somani, the President of the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Association of Gujarat, around 30,000 to 40,000 spectators from outside the city will be attending the stadium. He added that owing to the forthcoming World Cup 2023 final, the hotel rooms in Ahmedabad are increasing at a staggering rate, and the occasion has also stirred an increment in airfares into the city.

“There are 5,000 rooms in three stars and five-star hotels in Ahmedabad, while the number for entire Gujarat is 10,000. The capacity of the Narendra Modi Stadium is over 1.20 lakh people and we expect that 30,000 to 40,000 people will come from outside to watch the match. People tend to book the flight tickets first before booking hotels. The room prices are going to increase not only in Ahmedabad but in the surrounding towns also as the match day comes near.”

Remarkably, fans attending the stadium will also be graced by a 10-minute air show from the Indian Air Force (IAF) as part of the opening ceremony. Furthermore, British pop singer Dua Lipa is expected to perform following the conclusion of the contest. The match is slated to commence at 2:00 PM IST on November 19.
