FIFA announces cheaper World Cup tickets
FIFA has announced "more affordable" tickets for all 104 matches at next year's World Cup after an outcry over pricing.
The cheapest tickets will now be on offer from $60 (£45) as part of a new "Supporter Entry Tier" which will be available specifically to supporters of qualified teams. However, only 10% of participating member association's allocated tickets will fall under this most affordable category.
As a result, the number of $60 tickets for each game is likely to be in the hundreds, rather than thousands. Supporter value tier prices will apply to 40% of their tickets with the remaining 50% being split evenly between supporter standard tier and supporter premier tier.
Ronan Evain, the executive director of Football Supporter's Europe (FSE), a group that represents the interests of supporters in European football, said the group was "looking at the FIFA announcement as nothing more than an appeasement tactic due to the global negative backlash". He added: "This shows that FIFA's ticketing policy is not set in stone, was decided in a rush, and without proper consultation - including with FIFA's own member associations." While he welcomed FIFA's "seeming recognition of the damage its original plans were to cause.
