@FabrizioRomano@McDonalds Grimace deserves his spot in this lineup more than half the current Ballon d’Or contenders. Fight me in the replies. Which cup are you most disappointed you didn’t pull
Je crois qu’on ne réalise pas encore assez le scandale que représente cette Coupe du monde pour les supporters.
@TheAthleticFC révèle aujourd’hui que certaines places vendues ou présentées comme de la catégorie 1 n’auraient en réalité jamais été attribuées à leurs acheteurs, mais gardées de côté pour une nouvelle “Catégorie 0” lancée récemment.
"Football for the fans". 🤡🇺🇸
Fans around the world are taking to social media to complain about the huge ticket resale prices for the World Cup 🎟️🔥
One clear example: 🇵🇹 Portugal vs 🇨🇴 Colombia
💰 Original price: $75 USD
💰 Resale price: $25,000 USD
Yes… tickets are being sold for 340 times their real value! 📈
It is honestly so disappointing to see what FIFA has done with this World Cup. I knew prices were going to be high, but not unjustifiably high like they are now.
I, like many others, was excited for the chance to witness a World Cup in person. But that dream is gone because I simply cannot justify spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, and that is not even including the extremely high cost of parking and everything else around it.
The beauty of football is how accessible it is. It is a sport that connects people from all backgrounds. The World Cup was always meant to celebrate the game, bring different cultures together, and unite fans across the world. Seeing reports of tickets being priced as high as $10,000 for a group stage game completely goes against that idea.
I do not understand how FIFA can justify this, but at the same time it is not surprising. Saying that prices are high because Americans are used to paying premium prices is one of the worst excuses I have heard.
Many Americans are already working multiple jobs just to live comfortably. If people in the host country cannot even afford to attend, how can these prices be considered reasonable.
It also completely ignores international fans. The World Cup is supposed to be global, yet these prices make it nearly impossible for many fans traveling from other countries to be there. That takes away from the atmosphere and what makes the tournament special.
At this point, it feels like the sport is being over commercialized to the point where it is becoming inaccessible. The identity of football is being lost. The people who truly love and support the game are being pushed out, and instead the experience is being reserved for those who can simply afford it. That is not what the World Cup is supposed to represent.
@FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup DO BETTER
$900 each ticket for a World Cup group stage game between the USMNT 🇺🇸 and Turkey 🇹🇷 … and these ain’t the most expensive seats…
This ain’t the resale market, these are FIFA prices.
Game is gone.
World Cup Final: MetLife Stadium. New Jersey. If you’re lucky and a millionaire, you can buy a ticket for just $49,000!
The most disgraceful World Cup of the century is approaching, under the partnership of the mafia organisation FIFA and Trump. Are you aware of it?
This is NOT Viagogo.
This is FIFA’s official resale platform.
$25,000 for a Category 4 ticket in the nosebleeds that originally cost $75… plus a $3.7k fee ON TOP.
How is this even allowed? How are resale prices not capped? This is the worst kind of exploitation of fans.
@FIFAWorldCup 5 hour wait just to see “ limited availability” and even then they had no tickets available. Horrible set up by @FIFAcom@BBBTriCounties all focused on extreme profit. All tickets have been listed on 3rd party sellers for 2-10x the price. The worlds game is not for the world
We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.
Meta got $13.7 BILLION.
Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND.
Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.
We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.
Last year, Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup at a $200 million valuation, per Bloomberg.
Three months later, the U.S. government announced a major loan backstop.
Now the company is valued around $2 billion, per Bloomberg
Corporate America has sold out America — and that should concern all of us.
Our companies benefit from a nation built on the rule of law, world-class research, and stable institutions. Yet when those foundations are attacked, too many executives stay silent. See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil.
While profits and stock prices hit record highs, workers’ wages have barely moved. We’ve got CEOs making astronomical sums while families struggle with groceries and rent. That’s not just an affordability problem — that’s an income problem.
If we want to fix the economy, we don’t just need cheaper prices. We need higher pay. Corporate success should be shared with the people who actually create it.
America has been loyal to corporate America. It’s time for corporate America to show some loyalty back.
Last year, we reported extensively on a suspicious purchase of Viasat stock by a member of Congress.
$VSAT is now up 400% since our reports.
