Fans condemn 2026 World Cup ticket prices as “monumental betrayal”
Supporters’ groups are accusing FIFA of “extortionate” pricing after details of 2026 World Cup tickets revealed record costs — with the cheapest final ticket at £3,119 ($4,185). Other tiers reach £4,162 and £6,615, up to seven times higher than Qatar 2022, where entry-level final tickets were £450.
For the first time, FIFA has introduced “popularity-based” pricing for group-stage fixtures. This makes England’s matches significantly more expensive than Scotland’s. For example, England–Croatia tickets cost £198–£523, while Scotland–Haiti ranges from £134–£372.
Travel clubs say the system lacks transparency and penalises loyal supporters.
Total attendance costs for all eight matches could reach £12,357, compared to £3,914 for Qatar.
Supporters’ organisations are demanding FIFA suspend sales and reassess the pricing model.
