"Supporters hoping to attend next year's World Cup final face paying vast prices, with tickets in the 'supporter value tier' starting at 3,119 ($4,185). Fans' group Football Supporters Europe has said it is "astonished" by Fifa's "extortionate" pricing policy. The high prices for group games and the final have been leaking out on Thursday as Fifa informs national associations of their allocations."
"It means the price of the cheapest ticket for Fifa's showpiece event has increased almost sevenfold compared with the 2022 World Cup. The lowest-priced tickets on open sale in Qatar were 450. BBC Sport understands tickets for the 'supporters standard tier' are 4,162 ($5,560), compared with 747 in 2022. 'Supporters premium tier' is 6,615 ($8,860), with the same band 1,197 at the Lusail Stadium three years ago."

The cheapest ticket price has risen almost sevenfold compared with the 2022 World Cup, when the lowest open-sale tickets were 450. BBC Sport understands 'supporters standard tier' tickets are 4,162 ($5,560) and 'supporters premium tier' are 6,615 ($8,860). Group-stage games are being priced by attractiveness rather than a flat rate, producing wider price bands. Category four tickets are not available to fans. Football Supporters Europe has demanded that ticket sales be halted and called the pricing "a monumental betrayal."
