FIFA cancels World Cup tickets for about 60 fans who got them for free

FIFA has cancelled World Cup tickets issued to about 60 fans who mistakenly got them for free due to a website error. The tickets were "allocated at no charge (0 USD) due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process," FIFA said in a statement. The governing body invited the affected fans to complete payment of the correct amount. The cancellation comes as part of an investigation by the attorneys general of New York and New Jersey into possible violations of consumer protection laws in the World Cup ticketing programme.
