The Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro is scheduled to host seven games during the upcoming World Cup, including the final game on July 13.

LONDON (CNNMoney)

The upcoming FIFA World Cup runs for a month from June 12 in a dozen cities across Brazil. Fans from around the world will flock to the country to cheer on their national teams, party into the night and take in the sights.

Those hoping for last minute, budget deals will be disappointed since a wave of World Cup demand has already caused a big spike in air fares and hotel rates. People who booked in advance have already snapped up the bargains.

Total costs can vary widely, but a quick trip to see a match or two would set you back about $3,000, including flights, budget hotels, soccer tickets and spending money. If you hope to follow your team all the way to the final on July 13 in Rio de Janiero -- and upgrade to smarter hotels -- costs could balloon to over $30,000.

Economy flights from major U.S. cities to Rio are now priced between $1,200 and $4,200. But many of those cheaper flights include multiple stopovers and travel time of over 24 hours. Fares are rising all the time.

Travel website Hopper.com estimates that average prices for flights to Brazil have increased by nearly 40% compared to the same time last year.

Once you're there, finding a room is the next challenge. Travel agents are warning that most of Rio is booked solid, though availability in other cities is better.

Michael Fine, a travel consultant based in Sao Paulo, estimates typical hotels rooms in Rio will cost between $200 to $500 per night during the World Cup. That compares with an average rate of about $130 per night that Brazilian hotels usually charge in major cities.
