US President Donald Trump has voiced his concerns regarding the controversial ticket pricing for the upcoming FIFA World Cup matches. In an interview with the New York Post, he stated that the current prices are unfair, aligning with widespread criticism from the football community.
Trump expressed his desire to attend the tournament but questioned the exorbitant costs associated with it. He remarked,
“I didn’t know that number (the ticket price for the US team’s opening match at the World Cup).
AdvertisementOf course, I’d love to be there, but honestly, I wouldn’t pay for that either,”
highlighting his reluctance to purchase tickets at such high prices.
The ticket prices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are notably steep, with costs soaring for final matches. Official prices for the final match have reached $10,990, and on FIFA’s resale platform, tickets are reportedly being resold for millions of dollars, drawing significant backlash from fans and analysts alike.
