FIFA does not control the asking prices on its resale\/exchange marketplace but takes a 15 per cent purchase fee from the buyer of each ticket and a 15 per cent resale fee from the seller.<\/p>\n

An aisle seat on the same deck further round the stadium listed as easy access standard was listed at $290,000, while a category two seat in the very back row of the uppermost third deck listed at $194,000. A seat barely metres away is for sale for $32,000.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, the lowest-priced tickets for the final listed on the Marketplace were $15,342 for four seats four rows from the top of the upper deck behind a goal.<\/p>\n

“FIFA has established a ticket sales and secondary market model that reflects standard ticket market practices for major sporting and entertainment events across the host countries,” the governing body said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The applicable resale facilitation fees are aligned with industry standards across North American sports and entertainment sectors.<\/p>\n

“FIFA’s variable pricing ticketing approach aligns with industry trends across various sports and entertainment sectors, where price adaptations are made to optimise sales and attendance and ensure a fair market value for events.”<\/p>\n

FIFA says it reinvests World Cup revenue among its 211 members to develop the sport.<\/p>\n
