Being played in Saudi and there will be no alcohol. Will this affect ticket sales or are people not bothered?

Just nip across the Causeway to Bahrain. The place is awash with booze and at a weekend the place is awash with Saudis ;)

Disgusting that they are being allowed to host it. But entirely predictable.

Qatar was one of the best world cups in modern history. Don't write it off yet

Lack of alcohol is the least of the issues with that country hosting the world cup

Qatar had it on sale in fanzones and hotels i think. Saudi is a lot stricter so i'm not surprised really. Not a country i ever have any intention of visiting anyway.
