Trump Surprised by 2026 World Cup Prices
Former US President Donald Trump has expressed his surprise at the high ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup, despite acknowledging the commercial success of the tournament. During a telephone interview, Trump reacted upon learning that tickets for the match between the United States and Paraguay, scheduled for June 12 in Los Angeles, exceed $1,000 in their initial price.Trump expressed concern about his supporters’ access to the games, noting his desire for people from various sectors to be able to attend the championship.I didn’t know that figure. I’d like to be there, but I wouldn’t pay for it either, if I’m being honest.

Despite criticism over costs, Trump praised FIFA for the sales volume achieved for the World Cup to be played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. As he pointed out, around five million tickets have already been sold, which he considered a demonstration of the tournament’s enormous impact and popularity. High resale prices continue to generate controversy among fans and specialists. FIFA, however, has defended the “dynamic market” system, a mechanism that allows prices to be adjusted according to the existing demand for each match.If the people of Queens and Brooklyn and all the people who love Donald Trump can’t go, I would be disappointed.
