The resale of tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is a legal practice in the U.S., leading to significant price disparities. While FIFA initially offered over 100,000 tickets starting at $60, resale platforms list tickets for thousands, with some exceeding a million dollars. FIFA emphasizes that the revenue generated from the tournament is reinvested into the development of football. The organization aims to ensure fair access for fans and has established a resale marketplace to facilitate safe transactions. FIFA's pricing strategy reflects market demand, similar to other major sporting events in the country.
