World Cup 2026: Trump criticizes ticket prices, how do they compare to those in Qatar and Russia?

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup, with rates exceeding $1,000 for the first match. He noted that these prices are significantly higher than those of previous editions, where group match tickets in 2018 and 2022 were much more affordable. FIFA has yet to release a complete pricing grid, but prices are expected to vary based on demand, potentially making access to matches even more challenging for fans.
