World Cup tickets are an absolute shakedown. Fifa are reselling their own tickets for $25k…


Ticket prices for the World Cup final have soared into the millions on the secondary market. FIFA’s resale site has four tickets on sale for just under $2.3 million each. While FIFA doesn’t control the asking prices on its resale/exchange marketplace, it does take a 15% purchase fee from the buyer of each ticket and a 15% resale fee from the seller. 🎥: FIFA via AP




Fans from several countries participating in this summer’s World Cup must deposit up to $15,000 in bond payments to be granted a tourist visa to enter the United States, while organiser FIFA is privately pressing the Trump administration to make exemptions for players. The difficulties have emerged as nationals from certain countries travelling to the U.S. on a business or tourist visa — known as B-1 and B-2 visas — have been subject to bond payments after policy changes by President Donald Trump’s administration. The “Visa Bond Pilot Program” relates to 50 countries, five of which have qualified for the World Cup. The policy has impacted nationals from Algeria, Cape Verde, Senegal and Ivory Coast since January 21 this year. Last week, World Cup participants Tunisia were among the countries added to the list, which comes into effect from April 2. There is no wording outlined in the Visa Bond Pilot Program that grants immunity to athletes competing in major sports events such as the World Cup.
