"The Football Supporters Europe (FSE) and Euroconsumers have filed a formal complaint with the European Commission against FIFA, alleging that the football body has abused its monopoly position to impose excessive ticket prices and opaque and unfair purchasing conditions on European fans ahead of the 2026 World Cup."
"The cheapest openly available final tickets now start at $4,185, more than seven times the cost of the cheapest 2022 World Cup final ticket, they said."
"FIFA's own bid documents projected an average ticket price of $1,408 but that number has been left far behind, FSE added."
