Budweiser should say, “up your’s and give it away free”

What a bunch of charlatans and jokers they all are

Would be great if all the fans just said feck you all and walked to the airport

Re: Qatar bans the sale of beer at stadiums.

This sounds the more likely scenario to me.

Really? What do Budweiser get out of being forced to not sell beer at the World Cup?

Money isn’t real in Qatar, it means nothing to them. They’ve spent 10’s of Billions to host the tournament so paying Bud another 60m is nothing.

Re: Ban on Alcohol in stadiums

I agree Bud’s not the best lager
They’re on about only selling “Bud Zero” 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m sure the fans would be happy to pay £12 a bottle for non alcoholic beer
It’s all a shambles 😂😂😂😂😂👍

Re: Ban on Alcohol in stadiums

Disappointed for the fans who are going. Alcohol isn't the be all and end all, but it's going to be shit over there.
It's the only tournament (and I hope it never happens again) where I can hand on heart say I'm glad i'm watching it on TV

Def one to miss, never been a drinker at grounds but not right to take that option away this late……

AB InBev are a large multinational corporation and anything could have been arranged behind the scenes.

Gives them a chance to promote Bud 0% I guess.
Regular Bud is tasteless enough, so this stuff will have even less effect on the tastebuds, especially in 40c heat.

Re: Ban on Alcohol in stadiums

I'm a bit surprised that buying a beer in the stadium was ever on the cards. You couldn't at Euro2016 - or is my memory playing tricks on me?. The difference being of course that at Euro2016 there were any number of options for a nice drink pre or post match, whereas Qatar you'll be treated to some horribly expensive crap in a fanzone or in a high end hotel bar - if you're lucky.

plenty of drinking under the stands

bud 0% is the worse of a not very good choice

Wasn’t it alcohol free in the stadiums, that’s why we were pissing ourselves laughing at people buying it

Re: Qatar bans the sale of beer at stadiums.

Qatar will reimburse them and some, money is not an issue.

They couldn't be more unpopular in the worlds' eyes so why not renege on their promises

I'd be pretty pissed off if i was there without the beer but I'd be pretty scared if I was there and gay.

Exactly!
If they change their minds on this "guarantee", what about their other promises?

Primitive country going backwards, IMO

Money talks.
