Trump Refuses to Pay $1,000 World Cup Ticket Price, Warns Fans Shouldn’t Be Shut Out

U.S. President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t pay the $1,000 “get-in” fee for the USMNT’s opener against Paraguay in Los Angeles. He added that he’d be disappointed if loyal fans from Queens, Brooklyn and other cities were unable to attend. FIFA president Gianni Infantino defended the high prices by comparing them with typical U.S. sports costs of at least $300. Critics pointed out that MLB fans can still buy Yankees-Rangers tickets for as little as $8. Despite a reported 500 million ticket requests, resale prices for the final briefly topped $2 million before easing as FIFA released more last-minute seats.
