"Astonishing" World Cup ticket prices revealed - Football Supporters' Association FIFA’s presale for World Cup 2026 tickets has revealed just how expensive the tournament could be for supporters – and now England fans are calling on the FA to lobby FIFA for fairer prices.

More:

thefsa.org.uk/news/astonis...

Thomas Concannon, who leads the FSA’s England Fans’ Embassy, said: “These prices are astonishing - $2,000 for the cheapest final ticket is unacceptable. “If fans are successful in obtaining a category four ticket from the first game to the last, that could set them back $3,180 at least. That is more than double what Qatar cost. “Combined with travel to the Americas and accommodation, this will be the most expensive World Cup for matchgoing fans we've ever seen by some distance. “A healthy allocation of the lowest category of tickets should be made available to participating nations that are not affected by host city location or dynamic pricing. “Additionally, participating nation tickets should be located in key areas directly behind the goals to provide the best possible backing to their teams. “We'd urge the FA to work with other nations around the world to put pressure on FIFA to keep this World Cup financially accessible for matchgoing fans.”

NYC's next mayor to oppose World Cup surge pricing - Football Supporters' Association One of the leading candidates to be New York City’s next mayor has started a petition against FIFA’s plans to use surge or dynamic pricing at next year’s World Cup.

The European commissioner for intergenerational fairness, youth, culture and sport Glenn Micallef also spoke out about the plans this week - "Moving competitions abroad isn’t innovation, it’s betrayal," he said.
