80% of US World Cup Hotels Are PANICKING — Canada Sold Out Overnight America spent years preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — 11 host cities, billions in infrastructure investment, and hotels that tripled their rates expecting the biggest tourism surge in modern sports history. But when the tournament arrived, 80% of US World Cup hotels reported bookings running behind forecast. 

 

 

Meanwhile, Canada's venues sold out. In this documentary, After Shock breaks down exactly why the United States underperformed its own economic projections — and how Canada quietly captured the financial dividend America was counting on. 

 

 

We investigate FIFA's controversial decision to abandon ticket price caps in North America, the secondary market collapse that priced out millions of international fans, the $5.7 billion Canadian travel boycott that drained cross-border tourism from US host cities, and the compounding effect of Trump's tariff regime on bilateral economic confidence. 

 

 

We also examine what this divergence means for US hospitality REITs, airline stocks, municipal bond markets, and the long-term investment case for American mega-event hosting — including the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. If you follow finance, macroeconomics, international trade, or the business of sport — this analysis is built for you.
