@kcur893 Some World Cup fans are furious after finding out they paid hundreds, even thousands of dollars for pretty bad seats at this summer’s games. Recently, FIFA assigned precise section-and-row numbers to tickets already purchased through an opaque and complicated lottery. Some fans who shelled out for a prime viewing location later found out they had less than optimal seats — because FIFA quietly changed its own stadium maps, reserving the most favorable seats for the most expensive hospitality packages. At the same time, FIFA hiked prices for a large number of games through their “dynamic pricing” model. And some host cities are sparking additional outrage by charging inflated prices for game-day transportation, then blaming FIFA for failing to provide enough financial support. KCUR’s Gabe Rosenberg breaks down the World Cup ticket drama, with less than two months before the first games begin. 🎙️Hosted and edited by Gabe Rosenberg 📹Produced and filmed by Zach Perez #kansascity #worldcup #fifa ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
