Overview
- FIFA says five million ticket requests arrived in the first 24 hours of the latest lottery phase, led by the three host nations, with Colombia–Portugal and Germany–Ecuador among the most sought-after fixtures.
- England’s Football Supporters’ Association calls the pricing structure scandalous and urges the FA to push for reductions and suspend sales.
- Football Supporters Europe describes the prices as horrendous and presses FIFA to stop distribution through national federations.
- Ticket schedules list English fan allocations at about €250 to €800 for group-stage matches and at least €4,760 for a potential final seat.
- Germany’s DFB criticizes the levels, says it was informed only hours before sales and had no influence, outlines group minimums of €155, €190 and €230, and pledges fan embassies, stewards and programs on site.
