Zohran Mamdani is demanding that FIFA reverse its dynamic pricing policy for the 2026 World Cup. By focusing on the concerns of New York soccer fans, he hopes to gain traction in local political circles. His efforts arise as the 2025 NYC mayoral election looms in the background.

Ticket prices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will initially span from $60 to $6,730, yet fans should be aware these figures could shift considerably. With dynamic pricing set to debut, costs may venture even higher as demand intensifies.

The Federal Trade Commission’s new rule requiring ticket sellers to disclose total prices upfront aims to bring greater transparency to an industry often criticized for hidden fees. Experts, however, caution that while the buying experience may improve, ticket costs are unlikely to decrease.
