2026 FIFA World Cup Ticket Sales and Controversies Begin
As the excitement for the 2026 FIFA World Cup builds, ticket sales have officially kicked off with the first limited presale lottery opening this week. Fans are eager to secure their seats at various venues across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with ticket prices starting at $60, though dynamic pricing could see costs rising significantly. There have been reports of delays and challenges in the ticket purchasing process, causing frustration among hopeful attendees. Meanwhile, New York lawmaker Zohran Mamdani is urging FIFA to abandon its dynamic pricing model, arguing that it detracts from the accessibility of the global event. The anticipation continues to grow as fans prepare for the competition and seek information on how to navigate the ticket acquisition process.
