World Cup Ticket Shuffle Shortchanges Premium Buyers
Fans who bought Category 1 World Cup tickets discovered their seats were reclassified into lower-tier categories, with some premium sections reserved for even pricier hospitality packages. The Athletic reports a new Front Category 1/2 tier that reopens higher-priced seats in rows that were originally listed under Category 1, leaving buyers feeling misled and financially squeezed as prices for some seats surged (e.g., $900 second-row corners, $3,360 front-category seats).
