✅ Why Ahmedabad Will Be More Affordable

- • Lower Labor Costs: Stadium operations cheaper than UK/Australia
- • Government Subsidy: Gujarat govt likely to subsidize to encourage attendance
- • Currency Advantage: No forex markup for domestic buyers
⚠️ But Some Events Will Be Premium
- • Cricket T20: High demand = IPL-level pricing (₹2K-50K)
- • Opening Ceremony: VIP boxes could exceed ₹1 lakh
- • Badminton Finals: India's strength = high demand
- • Inflation: 2030 prices will be ~30-40% higher than 2010
💡 The Bottom Line
For budget travelers: Ahmedabad 2030 will likely be the most affordable Commonwealth Games ever for preliminary rounds (₹100-500).
