"During a week when Wheel of Fortune made history by paying out its highest ever cash prize to a marketing manager from Connecticut, the first of the 4.5 million fans who have applied for Geopolitics World Cup tickets were selected to buy them through the system Fifa has named after the long-running American gameshow. While Christina Derevjanik walked away with $1,035,155,"
"Although a certain, very small number of tickets for some group games will start at $60 (44), for anyone who doesn't mind sitting nearer the Karman line than the halfway line, the key word is start because they could go for a lot more given Fifa's decision to channel their inner Oasis and embrace the wheeze of dynamic pricing. With the cheapest tickets for next year's final starting at $2,030"
Wheel of Fortune paid its largest ever cash prize while FIFA selected the first buyers from 4.5 million World Cup ticket applicants through a system named after the American gameshow. Selected ticket-holders must pay without knowing match lineups until the draw. Some group-game tickets will start at $60, but dynamic pricing means many prices could rise substantially. Cheapest final tickets start at $2,030 while the most expensive start at $6,000. England fans face high costs and must budget. Concerns over extreme heat could push marquee matches to kick off after midnight UK time.
