FIFA Cancels World Cup Tickets for Fans Who Obtained Them for Free Due to Website Error
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
FIFA has canceled tickets for the World Cup issued to about 60 fans who mistakenly obtained them for free due to a website error. The governing body stated in a release on Thursday that the tickets were 'assigned at no charge ($0) due to a prior payment issue during the purchase process.' 'FIFA regrets the error and any inconvenience caused,' it noted. 'The tickets requested by these fans remain reserved, and affected fans have been invited to complete the payment of the correct amount.' This is the latest failure in a ticket sales program for the World Cup, which has often been controversial and is under investigation by the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey for possible violations of consumer protection laws. FIFA informed buyers in an email that the incorrectly priced tickets were sold through the official World Cup site on May 21.
