The final batch of World Cup tickets is about to go on sale. Here are 5 things to know

The prices FIFA is charging for the 2026 World Cup are dramatically higher than in any previous tournament. When the tournament was held in Qatar in 2022, the most expensive tickets for the final were about $1,600 per seat. For this tournament so far, the highest priced ticket costs nearly $9,000. That has spurred a group of Democratic lawmakers, led by California Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, to write a letter to FIFA demanding to know why ticket prices are so high.
