$32,970 for a World Cup ticket? Fans aren't fond of FIFA prices [View all]
The average full-time American worker earns about $1,235 a week.
At that salary, you’d have to work 27 weeks to pay for a single, face-value ticket to the men's World Cup final, if you wanted one of the best seats in the house.
Soccer fans are paying staggering sums for tickets to the 2026 World Cup, with the United States hosting some games for the first time since 1994. FIFA, soccer’s governing body, raised eyebrows this month by putting premium Cup final tickets on sale at $32,970 apiece.
The event has become a symbol for the perceived excesses of dynamic pricing, a sales strategy that adjusts prices over time based on how much customers are willing to pay.

I got an e-mail from Ticketmaster a couple of months ago advertising World Cup tickets, $1500 apiece for the cheap seats.
