"For the first time, FIFA is using dynamic pricing. They're going to figure out, in real time, how much they can get away with charging for a ticket, Mamdani said in a social media video posted alongside the petition. He also blasted FIFA for not including a cap on resale tickets on the FIFA-operated resale platform. That means you can buy a ticket for 60 bucks and resell it for $6,000."
"MetLife Stadium will host eight matches at next summer's FIFA World Cup. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File) FIFA has defended using dynamic pricing to sell tickets for next summer's World Cup, describing the policy as a reflection of an existing and developing market practice in North America. Soccer's governing body was responding to a petition launched by NYC mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, which called on FIFA to ditch dynamic pricing and introduce limits on the price at which resale tickets can be sold."
FIFA announced use of dynamic pricing for next summer's World Cup ticket sales and defended the approach as consistent with North American market practices. NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani launched the Game Over Greed petition seeking an end to dynamic pricing, a cap on resale prices, and a 15% ticket allocation at discounted rates for local residents. Mamdani warned that real-time pricing could sharply increase ticket costs and criticized the FIFA resale platform for lacking price caps, citing extreme markup examples. The petition has drawn thousands of signatures while FIFA affirmed a focus on fair access for fans.
