Airbnb

Airbnb partnered with Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks-Shaw, Kansas City Public Schools and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kansas City to give 75 tickets for students and their coaches to attend World Cup matches.

Almost 400 Kansas City residents took advantage of a program offering cheaper short-term rental permitting during the World Cup, hoping to catch a windfall from the influx of tourists. Some aren't seeing the bookings they anticipated.
