“We are deeply concerned by reports indicating FIFA is using non-transparent pricing, changing rules and pot practices ncially misleading that make it difficult for fans to access the locations”, expressed the representatives Nellie Pou and Frank Pallone Jr.
Infantino's justification
Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, has been at the center of criticism for leading the organization of the tournament. The leader considers the value of the tickets justifying the investment of a “double entertainment” event. Infantino refers to the soccer match and the subsequent shows.
“We have to analyze the market. We are in a market where entertainment is the most developed in the world, so "that we should apply market prices," Infantino said at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California.
In addition, Gianni Infantino spoke about the issue of ticket resale in the United States. In his opinion, with high ticket prices, resellers will have more obstacles to inflate their prices by exorbitant amounts.
“In the United States, the resale of tickets is also allowed, so if they were sold at too low a price, they would be resold at a much higher price. "In fact, even though some say our prices are high, in the resale market they end up at an even higher price, more than double the original price," he added.
