0:00People are [music] pretty frustrated,

0:02primarily with FIFA, about just how

0:04expensive the 2026 World Cup is shaping

0:07up to be.

0:08Fans who didn't get tickets during any

0:09of the previous sales stages were pushed

0:12into the resale market. Let's pull up

0:15this game between Colombia [music] and

0:17Portugal on June the 27th.

0:19Say I buy this nearly $3,000 Category 3

0:23resale ticket. Category 3 seats are

0:26cheaper. They're usually high up in the

0:27stadium or behind the goals. FIFA shows

0:30that the original price was $155.

0:34And FIFA takes 15% from the seller and

0:3715% from the buyer in this transaction.

0:40In this Category 3 section, you'll find

0:43tickets ranging from few thousand

0:45dollars to nearly 12,000.

0:49And Category 3 can reach up [music] to

0:50$23,000 for this game.

0:53SeatGeek, a ticket aggregator, found in

0:55April

0:56>> [music]

0:56>> that the average resale ticket in any

0:58category cost $1,600.

1:01And the average resale tickets for the

1:02big final game cost 10 times that.

1:06FIFA told BI that its resale and primary

1:09marketplaces are aligned with typical

1:11standards and trends

1:13>> [music]

1:13>> in North American sports and

1:15entertainment.

1:17For example, if I lived in the US and I

1:19bought a ticket in an early sale for

1:20$1,000, there's nothing [music] stopping

1:23me from turning around and reselling it

1:25for double.

1:26But if I lived in Mexico, I couldn't do

1:28that. I could only exchange my ticket

1:30because of resale regulations. And any

1:33tickets for games in Ontario can only be

1:35relisted [music] for the face value

1:37price or lower.

1:38>> FIFA and in America, and everyone is

1:40just they're giving them that chance to

1:42take advantage of it, and they're

1:43definitely taking it to to the fullest.
