Trump questions four-figure World Cup ticket prices ahead of 2026
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump told the New York Post he wouldn’t pay four-figure prices for United States World Cup games, saying he didn’t know the exact price for the USMNT’s opener. FIFA had set a base Category 3 price of about $1,120 for many fans, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino defended dynamic pricing as market-driven, while critics debunked his claim that college games cost less than $300. Trump said he would like to attend but wouldn’t personally pay those prices.
