It is honestly so disappointing to see what FIFA has done with this World Cup. I knew prices were going to be high, but not unjustifiably high like they are now. I, like many others, was excited for the chance to witness a World Cup in person. But that dream is gone because I simply cannot justify spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, and that is not even including the extremely high cost of parking and everything else around it. The beauty of football is how accessible it is. It is a sport that connects people from all backgrounds. The World Cup was always meant to celebrate the game, bring different cultures together, and unite fans across the world. Seeing reports of tickets being priced as high as $10,000 for a group stage game completely goes against that idea. I do not understand how FIFA can justify this, but at the same time it is not surprising. Saying that prices are high because Americans are used to paying premium prices is one of the worst excuses I have heard. Many Americans are already working multiple jobs just to live comfortably. If people in the host country cannot even afford to attend, how can these prices be considered reasonable. It also completely ignores international fans. The World Cup is supposed to be global, yet these prices make it nearly impossible for many fans traveling from other countries to be there. That takes away from the atmosphere and what makes the tournament special. At this point, it feels like the sport is being over commercialized to the point where it is becoming inaccessible. The identity of football is being lost. The people who truly love and support the game are being pushed out, and instead the experience is being reserved for those who can simply afford it. That is not what the World Cup is supposed to represent. @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup DO BETTER
