Thousands of tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup disappeared from FIFA’s official website in late May and appeared on resale sites like SeatGeek and StubHub. This transfer of tickets has raised questions about whether FIFA is intentionally moving tickets to resale markets to manage prices and clear unsold inventory.
Key Facts
Around 44,000 World Cup tickets were removed from FIFA’s official sales portal in late May.
The number of tickets available on FIFA’s site dropped to below 30,000 after the removal.
Many of these removed tickets showed up on resale platforms at lower prices than FIFA’s official rates.
Some experts believe FIFA may be moving tickets in bulk to secondary markets to avoid lowering official ticket prices.
FIFA uses “dynamic pricing,” which changes ticket costs based on demand.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino blamed high official prices partly on ticket resellers buying cheap tickets and selling them higher.
Tickets on resale sites recently dropped in price, possibly due to weak fan demand.
U.S. state attorneys general have begun investigating FIFA’s ticket pricing and inventory practices.
