Fans criticize FIFA for high 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Football supporter groups are urging FIFA to halt ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup, citing exorbitant prices of up to $9,000 for premium seats that could exclude fans from attending. Football Supporters Europe has criticized the pricing as a departure from tradition, calling for urgent consultations. With premium final tickets priced at $8,680, concerns are raised about the tournament becoming a “Corporate Games” and losing its vibrant atmosphere. FIFA’s decision to exclude the cheapest ticket tier and implement demand-based pricing has sparked controversy and complaints about ethics violations.
