"World Cup tickets have been made available in a series of releases since last year. The latest stage is an official FIFA resale marketplace, where previously purchased tickets are being marked up and flogged at mind-boggling prices."
"Anyone who has bought a ticket can offer it for sale at any price they want. Many of the prices appear to be unrealistic and are far more expensive than comparable tickets in the same block of a stand."
"Resold World Cup tickets net the governing body a 30% cut of the difference between the original ticket price and the resold one. A post shared by FIFA World Cup shows the extent of the ticketing issue."
World Cup 2026, hosted in the US, Canada, and Mexico, is seeing ticket prices soar. The latest resale marketplace allows ticket holders to sell at any price, leading to unrealistic costs. For instance, tickets for England's matches against Ghana and Croatia are priced as high as $29,000 and $17,000, respectively. FIFA benefits from resales, taking a 30% cut of the profit. Fans are struggling to find affordable options as ticket prices continue to rise dramatically.
