October 5 – The Ticket Resal Platform of FIFA for the World Cup 2026 caused a turn after the launch with the most expensive prices in the history of the tournament. Some tickets are already mentioned for tens of thousands of dollars, far beyond the reach of ordinary fans.
In contrast to earlier tournaments, FIFA has deleted its resale caps and will now take 15% cut from both buyers and sellers.
Mathematics is simple and affordable for the administrative body. If a ticket of $ 1,000 is resold, the seller drops $ 850 while FIFA runs away with $ 300 … $ 150 from each side. In short, the administrative body will collect an extra $ 30 for every $ 100 that is traded on its platform.
FIFA claims that this matches “industrial trends” and ensures “secure access” to fans. However, critics see slightly more cynical, namely the commercialization of passion.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI, a politician in New York, avid supporter and favorite to become the new mayor of New York City, the move “Another method to play the game”, a launch of one Game about greed Campaign that encourages FIFA to restore price caps.
The English football supporters’ association called the prices “amazing” and “unacceptable”, while Ronan Evain of Fans Europe FIFA accused of changing the tournament into “A World Cup for Westerners from the middle class and the lucky couple from the rest of the world.”
He didn’t stop there. “This is not” really making football worldwide, “he said.” This is the privatization of what was once a tournament for everyone. Life, the colors, the diversity … This does not exist when you determine such prices. “
A category 4 ticket for the American opener in Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, originally priced at $ 560, is already mentioned for almost $ 3,000. The same ticket for the final? Get ready to mortgage your house, because it brings you back a cool $ 25,000.
In 2026 there will hopefully still be a kind of spectacle, but without the beating heart of the real supporters who bring rhythm, song and spirit, the game of the world risks a business exhibition, without color and noise.
If the terraces stop under the North -American sun, it will not be because the fans have lost their voice, it is because only they are priced from the conversation.
