New York and New Jersey attorneys general have subpoenaed FIFA over 2026 World Cup ticket pricing at MetLife Stadium, where face-value seats for the July 19 final reached $32,970 — roughly 20 times the cost of the equivalent ticket in Qatar four years earlier. The investigation targets both FIFA's first-ever use of dynamic pricing, which raised costs for more than 90 of 104 matches by an average of 34%, and allegations that FIFA changed stadium seating maps after fans had already purchased tickets, effectively downgrading their seats without consent.
