Argentina fans who travelled hoping to see Lionel Messi at one of his final World Cup appearances are finding themselves priced out of stadiums and accommodation. With hotel prices soaring and ticket resale costs reaching thousands of dollars, some supporters are resorting to camper vans and caravan parks near stadiums just to stay within reach of the action.
