FIFA president shamelessly defended the high World Cup ticket prices
•Yahoo Sports
This is set to be the most expensive World Cup in history, and Gianni Infantino is fine with that.
There is virtually nothing about this summer's World Cup in the U. S. , Canada and Mexico that has been spared from FIFA's insatiable desire for profits.
Even free events have premium upsells . But above all, fans have been furious about the ticket prices. FIFA president Gianni Infantino sees nothing wrong about that.
Appearing at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, Infantino defended the ticket prices as a fair reflection of the U. S. market.
He claimed — incorrectly — that it was impossible to attend a college sporting event in the U. S. for less than $300.
