FIFA Subpoenaed Over Ticket Pricing

Attorneys General in New York and New Jersey have issued subpoenas to FIFA as part of a consumer protection investigation into 2026 World Cup ticket sales.

The probe focuses on allegations of 'fake scarcity,' variable pricing models, and unauthorized seat relocations that have left fans facing impossibly high costs.

President Trump has praised the record-setting ticket sales, while local communities in Boston and Philadelphia express concern that high prices and restrictive visa policies are excluding traditional fan bases.

Officials state they are determined to ensure transparency and fairness for the millions of travelers expected to attend the tournament.
