""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 leave loyal fans with no other choice: pay up or lose out," FSE's executive director said."
""In practice, [the $60 tickets] were so scarce that the entire Category 4 inventory was practically sold out before general public sales opened.""
""Dynamic pricing lacks safeguards, with no cap on how high prices can rise," FSE argues."
European fans, represented by Football Supporters Europe (FSE), have filed a complaint with the European Commission against FIFA for excessive ticket prices and unfair purchasing conditions. The cheapest final tickets are priced at $4,185, significantly higher than previous World Cup prices. Resale sites list tickets for as much as $190,000. FIFA defends the pricing as a reflection of demand, but FSE criticizes the lack of safeguards in dynamic pricing. Cheap tickets were scarce, with many sold out before public sales began.
