Sorry, you won't be able to attend. Some who are, of course, important movie 'stars', fashion designers, chefs, athletes & other names some folks might know (I recognize very few):
Rob Lowe, Cobie Smulders, Ciara, Danny Ramirez, Kevin Hart, Heidi Klum, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams, Andrea Bocelli, Village People, Will Ferrell, Brian Kelly (“The Points Guy”), Kristin Juszczyk,Carmelo Anthony, Megan Rapinoe, Sergio Agüero, Julian Edelman, Stu Holden, Miguel Layún, Tiffany Derry, Ana Casanova, Susur Lee, Gracie Hunt, David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Luis Suárez
& this list will grow w/ similar important people, I imagine.
Given where we are and the current environment in the US, and how much tourism is down, it will be interesting to see if they get the numbers they are expecting to get. 5.5% decline in international travelers in 2025 versus 2024. The World Cup is the primary reason an increase is expected in 2026. A resale price for a single game of $500 and that is just 1 ticket unless you are going by yourself...yikes. I stopped going to hockey games because of the feeling of being gouged every time I paid $37-$50 just for parking in a City that is NOT New York. It doesn't matter that I can afford it. My common sense cannot. I get it though. World cup is a one off and if you're a fan, a cheaper opportunity than if you had to travel outside the US another year.
Spring Break 2026 shattered U.S. travel records, with multiple industry groups reporting unprecedented passenger volumes, crowded airports, and surging demand across both domestic and international routes.
This is a 4% increase over the same period in 2025
Global air travel hit record highs, with IATA reporting over 5 billion passengers worldwide in 2026.
U.S. carriers operated near full capacity with little slack for disruptions.
