加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德讯——国际足联因即将到来的世界杯赛事天价票价和手续费遭到强烈反对，引发球迷不满，也给批评者提供了口实，他们指责这个足球世界管理机构贪婪成性。
本届世界杯参赛队伍从32支扩军至48支，成为史上规模最大的一届赛事，据国际足联透露，美国、加拿大和墨西哥将承办104场比赛，预计将创造109亿美元的营收纪录。
国际足联官方转售市场上的票价令人瞠目结舌，这个体育管理机构将从每笔交易的卖家和买家双方各收取15%的手续费。
“如果有人在二级市场转售决赛门票要价200万美元，第一，这并不代表门票本身价值200万美元，”国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺在本月早些时候的一次采访中表示，“第二，这不代表真的会有人买下这些票。”
因凡蒂诺还开玩笑说，如果真有人花200万美元买票，“我会亲自给他送上热狗和可乐，确保他观赛体验绝佳。”
据美联社报道，上周国际足联在其售票平台将新泽西州大都会人寿体育场7月19日决赛的顶级座位票价上调至33970美元，涨幅达两倍。
票务分析公司TicketData的数据显示，截至上周五，世界杯所有小组赛阶段比赛的二级市场最便宜门票平均价格为553美元。决赛最便宜的在售门票价格为7734美元。
上周被问及世界杯票价问题时，特朗普总统表示，即便他本人也不会花1000美元去观看6月12日在洛杉矶南部加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德市索菲体育场举行的美国对阵巴拉圭的揭幕战。
“我当然希望能到场观赛，但说实话，我也不会花这个钱，”特朗普在接受《纽约邮报》采访时说道。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在二级市场上看到该场比赛的部分门票售价超过45000美元。
加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔也对此表示不满。他于周三致信国际足联，要求对方就可能存在误导性的售票做法作出解释。此前有报道称，国际足联“先是根据体育场地图展示的座位类别售票，之后在分配具体座位前却更改了这些座位类别”。
但价格冲击不止体现在门票上。国际足联要求主办城市承担安保和交通费用，不过美国联邦紧急事务管理局表示，部分此类开支将由联邦资金补贴。
新泽西交通局宣布，世界杯赛事期间从曼哈顿前往大都会人寿体育场的往返火车票价为98美元。常规票价仅为13美元。
新泽西交通局局长克里斯·科卢里辩称，上调票价可避免日常通勤乘客承担本届为期六周赛事期间额外数十万乘客的运输成本。科卢里表示，新泽西交通局为大都会人寿体育场的8场世界杯赛事运营列车的成本估计约为4800万美元，车票定价正是为了覆盖这笔开支。
“新泽西的通勤者不应为这场无疑精彩的赛事未来多年背负成本，这毋庸置疑。但观赛球迷应当承担相关费用，我们想说的仅此而已，”科卢里在上个月的新闻发布会上说道。
马萨诸塞州福克斯伯勒市吉列体育场的世界杯赛事往返火车票价格为75美元。而通常情况下，该线路用于音乐会和新英格兰爱国者队比赛等体育赛事的票价约为20美元。
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华市也作出了反对回应，拒绝了国际足联为因凡蒂诺提供警用车队的请求。
“任何交通安排都将适当、适度，并与温哥华安全举办大型国际赛事的一贯做法保持一致，”温哥华市长肯·西姆的办公室在一份声明中说道。
有迹象表明，高昂票价可能正在让球迷望而却步。据哥伦比亚广播公司纽约站报道，商业地产公司CoStar的最新数据显示，世界杯比赛当晚纽约市多家酒店的入住率仅为三分之一，比去年同期同期水平低12%。

Exorbitant World Cup ticket prices creating sticker shock for soccer fans
May 16, 2026 / 9:25 PM EDT / CBS News
Inglewood, California — FIFA is facing backlash for sky-high prices and fees for the upcoming World Cup, causing consternation among fans and providing fuel to critics who accuse soccer’s world governing body of greed.
This World Cup will be the biggest ever after it was expanded from 32 to 48 teams, with 104 matches across the U.S., Canada and Mexico that are projected to generate a record $10.9 billion in revenue, according to FIFA.
FIFA’s official resale marketplace has shown staggering prices, with the sport’s governing body pocketing a 15% fee from both the seller and the buyer for each sale.
“If some people put on a secondary, on the resale market, some tickets for the final at $2 million, Number one, it doesn’t mean that the tickets cost $2 million,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in an interview earlier this month. “Number two, it doesn’t mean that somebody will buy these tickets.”
Infantino joked that if someone does pay $2 million, “I will personally bring him a hot dog and a Coke to make sure that he has a great experience.”
Last week, FIFA on its ticketing platform tripled the price for the top seats to the July 19 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to $33,970, the Associated Press reported.
According to the ticket analytics firm TicketData, the average price for the cheapest tickets on resale markets across all World Cup group stage games as of Friday was $553. The cheapest available ticket for the final was $7,734.
President Trump, when asked last week about World Cup pricing, said even he personally wouldn’t pay $1,000 to watch the U.S. play Paraguay in the tournament’s U.S. opener June 12 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, south of Los Angeles.
“I would certainly like to be there, but I wouldn’t pay it either, to be honest with you,” Mr. Trump told the New York Post.
CBS News saw some tickets priced at more than $45,000 on secondary markets for the match.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta was also not buying in. He sent a letter to FIFA Wednesday seeking answers about potentially misleading ticketing practices after reports that FIFA “sold tickets based on seating categories displayed on stadium maps and later altered those seating categorizations before assigning precise seat locations.”
But the sticker shock doesn’t stop at tickets. FIFA requires host cities to foot the bill for security and transportation costs, though the Federal Emergency Management Agency says some of those expenses will be offset by federal funding.
New Jersey Transit announced that round trip train fares to MetLife Stadium from Manhattan for World Cup games will run $98. The usual fare is $13.
New Jersey Transit CEO Kris Kolluri argued the increased fare spares daily commuters from carrying the cost of transporting hundreds of thousands of additional riders during the six-week tournament. Kolluri said that the cost to New Jersey Transit to run trains for the eight World Cup games at MetLife is estimated at about $48 million, and the train tickets are priced to cover that.
“Commuters in New Jersey should not carry the cost years into the future for a wonderful event, no doubt. But the fans who are going to the game should bear the burden of the cost, and that’s all we’re trying to say,” Kolluri said in a news conference last month.
Train tickets from Boston to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, will be $75 round trip for World Cup matches. Typically, those tickets are about $20 for concerts and sporting events, such as New England Patriots games.
Vancouver, B.C., is also pushing back, denying FIFA’s request for a police motorcade for Infantino.
“Any transportation arrangements that are made will be appropriate, measured, and consistent with how Vancouver safely hosts major international events,” Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim’s office said in a statement.
There are some signs those high prices could be contributing to keeping fans away. According to CBS News New York, new data from the commercial real estate company CoStar showed that several New York City hotels currently only have a third of their rooms occupied on World Cup match nights, 12% below last year’s levels at this time for the same dates.
