Supporters hoping to secure a seat at next year’s World Cup final may need to spend several thousand pounds, even for the lowest-priced tickets.
Fifa ticket prices have been released for the World Cup final with the cheapest ticket costing an astonishing £3,119!! No concessions are available for children or any other groups.
Football Supporters Europe said it was “astonished” by what it called Fifa’s “extortionate” pricing, urging the governing body to “halt ticket sales immediately”. The Football Supporters’ Association’s England Fans’ Embassy described the move as a “slap in the face” for loyal fans.
Fifa has yet to respond publicly to the concerns.
According to BBC Sport, final tickets for MetLife Stadium in New York fall into three price bands:
- Supporter value tier – £3,119 ($4,185)
- Supporter standard tier – £4,162 ($5,560)
- Supporter premium tier – £6,615 ($8,860)
The prices represent an enormous increase compared to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the cheapest final ticket was £450.
Simply OUTRAGEOUS!
The average fan who goes to stadia game after game are priced out of going.
Catering to the world’s wealthiest who simply want to go to a WOLD CUP GAME and boast about it but rarely, IF EVER, go to league games.
A friend here just told me he will pay $500 plus for a ticket to ANY GAME but prefers to go to Boston for Scotland game.
He is lucky he can afford it but he has not been to a LIVE game in over 30 years.
Angers me so I feel for the Scottish faithful.
I’ll just stay home and have the best seat for free!
(Actually I’ll be in Scotland for the June 24 game!).
FIFA has been brewing for years becoming an ELITE lot.
Totally lost touch with the working man and fitba’ fans.
