"Mamdani, who is the current frontrunner ahead of November's general election, launched his Game Over Greed petition on Tuesday night, calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing and set a price cap on resale tickets. He also called on soccer's governing body to set aside 15% of tickets for local residents at a discounted rate. Mamdani said thousands of people have signed the petition since it was launched Tuesday night."
"World Cup tickets are a golden goal FIFA announced last week that it plans to use dynamic pricing to sell tickets for next summer's World Cup. The cheapest seats during the group stages will start at $60. The Athletic reported that non-hospitality tickets for the final could rise as high as $6,730. FIFA has not specified what proportion of tickets will be available for $60."
Zohran Mamdani, Democratic mayoral nominee and Assembly member, called on FIFA to abandon dynamic pricing for 2026 World Cup tickets, set a cap on resale prices, and reserve 15% of tickets for local residents at a discounted rate. He launched the Game Over Greed petition and reported thousands of signatures shortly after its launch. FIFA announced plans to use dynamic pricing with group-stage seats starting at $60 and non-hospitality final tickets potentially reaching $6,730. FIFA opened Visa Presale Draw registration and will begin regular sales in October. Dynamic pricing adjusts prices based on demand and can inflate costs for high-demand events.
