Doesnt seem to be any, other than post 1K per night Airnb. Option may be to drive from Abu Dhabi, but thats six hours each way, flying in and out of Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Dubai is silly prices. Would have liked to see a game or two, but I think its beyond the average earner (at least me anyway)

It's so sad that after such a wonderful achievement that the prize for the vast majority of the fans of even the most fervent will be staying home and watching it on the TV.
Nothing on sale yet, but this page has information on what they will be offering

Maybe try Dubai? It’s not far is it? Qatar is just a hub really so getting in and out should be no problem
Au contraire. Celebrate that many will be priced-out of making wholly unnecessary and utterly decadent journeys which pollute the planet and deplete its precious resources in the pursuit of hedonism.
The more bucket hat wearing, leek munching Wales supporters who are financially compelled to watch World Cup games on TV in Blighty then the better for humankind it will be.
I’m sure there will be fan parks set up back home in Wales but surely indoors only?
The weather in November/December definitely won’t match Qatar lol ☀️
Wonky Sheep charge Ł450 for 2 nights in Dublin so their price will be ridiculous for this. Probably licking their lips at having a package a lot of people will have no choice but to go with.
Can’t even see how to get accommodation atm, FAW should clear it up next few days but going to be a big ask for people.
Just looked on Airbnb at accommodation in Doha over the World Cup dates
Everything is over a thousand pounds a night- talk about cashing in 😤
The exact same rooms next week can be had from fifty four quid a night
We’ll have to do a Wembley 2008 special
36 of us stayed in a double room in the Hilton - and we all had breakfast pmsl 🤣
I looked into this trip several months ago and however you look at it the costs are enormous.
I even tried the “ Trainspotters” ( a group of England supporters who travel almost exclusively by train and stay in obscure towns to keep costs down) but they are not bothering as they decided the costs were prohibitive to almost all.
For most on here it will be their first World Cup, so interest will be high, but unless you can get on a commercial freebie then it may be a bit of a struggle.
I am resigned to watching on TV in a comfortable armchair.
Yes but flight costs for the days the games are on are either very high or no availability. Airbnb and accomodation in Emirates is not badly priced, but travel to and from Doha is. Same for Bahrain to doha, Being the last team to qualify has been unfortunate as all the cheapest accommodation has been bought up. I did hear rumours of cruise ships staying alongside in Doha and being used as hotels, but can't find anything official. Wonkeysheep will look into flights in and out out for the games. I think they may be the best option for many. I recommend people register interest. 7 hour flight not too bad really and within many people's budget.

Don't forget you need the Hayya card to get into Qatar and the match stadiums. And to get a Hayya card, you need match tickets. You have to but match tickets before you can sort out your accommodation.
I wonder if it's just a case of lots of hotels not being finished yet, that will then come onto the market. This tournament isn't a money making making exercise for Qatar, they don't need the money, and when you factor in bribes and all the new infrastructure they have built then I'd imagine they are willing to take a huge monetary hit on staging the tournament. This is a very costly soft power/diplomacy exercise for the country. I find it hard to believe that they will undo all that by not having reasonably priced places for people to stay.
Hard to think of a worse place to have a World Cup to be honest….
Look up Claire Hopkin on Twitter. She is doing accommodation in Dubai and flights to Qatar from there. I think anyway.
