At World Cup Ticket Prices, Even Messi Can't Fill a Stadium

During the quarterfinal match between Argentina and Switzerland at the World Cup in Kansas City, many seats at Arrowhead Stadium remained empty, possibly due to high ticket prices. Despite large crowds for the tournament, official reports indicated that some fans may have been deterred by prices that reached $1,500 to $4,000 on resale sites, with FIFA generating over $3 billion in ticket sales overall. FIFA has faced criticism for its pricing strategies and for allegedly profiting from unsold tickets, even though attendance records have been broken. Argentine fans, motivated by star player Lionel Messi, engaged in fundraising and merchandise sales to support their team.
