FIFA Criticized for Ticket Scalping at World Cup 2026
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
FIFAs ticketing strategy for the 2026 World Cup is under fire due to an unprecedented resale system that allows the organization to take a 30% cut from every secondary ticket transaction, leading to significantly higher prices for fans. Football Supporters Europe and Euroconsumers have criticized FIFA for exploiting regulations in the US and Canada, where the majority of matches will be held, and have argued that the World Cup is a global cultural event, not just a commercial product. Despite the backlash, FIFA insists it is simply operating within existing market practices and has made one concession by vowing not to use a dynamic or variable pricing system for future ticket releases.
