Fifa urged to halt World Cup ticket sales after ‘monumental betrayal’ of fans
-
Final tickets more than £3,000; five-fold rise on Qatar
-
Cheapest England tickets are £165 for two Group L games
Fifa has been accused of a “monumental betrayal” by fan representatives after it emerged that the cheapest tickets for next summer’s World Cup final will cost more than £3,000.
Football Supporters Europe (FSE), which represents fans across the continent, described the prices as “extortionate” and called for an immediate halt to ticket sales after a day when England fans discovered that tickets to follow their team through the tournament could cost up to $16,590 (£12,375) in the top categories.
