World Cup Tickets at $40,000 Each Draw Warning From FIFA
This article is for subscribers only.
World Cup final tickets are being advertised for more than $40,000 on the secondary market by holders ignoring a threat from world soccer governing body FIFA to void those not resold via the tournament organizer.
The cheapest ticket to the July 13 final at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium on Geneva-based Viagogo -- which describes itself as the world’s largest ticket exchange -- is $5,240 for a seat with a face value of $440. Games such as the final and the tournament opener on June 12 are sold out.
