People are [music] pretty frustrated,
0:02
primarily with FIFA, about just how
0:04
expensive the 2026 World Cup is shaping
0:07
up to be.
0:08
Fans who didn't get tickets during any
0:09
of the previous sales stages were pushed
0:12
into the resale market. Let's pull up
0:15
this game between Colombia [music] and
0:17
Portugal on June the 27th.
0:19
Say I buy this nearly $3,000 Category 3
0:23
resale ticket. Category 3 seats are
0:26
cheaper. They're usually high up in the
0:27
stadium or behind the goals. FIFA shows
0:30
that the original price was $155.
0:34
And FIFA takes 15% from the seller and
0:37
15% from the buyer in this transaction.
0:40
In this Category 3 section, you'll find
0:43
tickets ranging from few thousand
0:45
dollars to nearly 12,000.
0:49
And Category 3 can reach up [music] to
0:50
$23,000 for this game.
0:53
SeatGeek, a ticket aggregator, found in
0:55
April
0:56
>> [music]
0:56
>> that the average resale ticket in any
0:58
category cost $1,600.
1:01
And the average resale tickets for the
1:02
big final game cost 10 times that.
1:06
FIFA told BI that its resale and primary
1:09
marketplaces are aligned with typical
1:11
standards and trends
1:13
>> [music]
1:13
>> in North American sports and
1:15
entertainment.
1:17
For example, if I lived in the US and I
1:19
bought a ticket in an early sale for
1:20
$1,000, there's nothing [music] stopping
1:23
me from turning around and reselling it
1:25
for double.
1:26
But if I lived in Mexico, I couldn't do
1:28
that. I could only exchange my ticket
1:30
because of resale regulations. And any
1:33
tickets for games in Ontario can only be
1:35
relisted [music] for the face value
1:37
price or lower.
1:38
>> FIFA and in America, and everyone is
1:40
just they're giving them that chance to
1:42
take advantage of it, and they're
1:43
definitely taking it to to the fullest.
