FIFA Last-Minute Ticket Sales Open — Website Glitch Chaos on April 2

FIFA's final ticket sales phase opened April 1 at 11:00 AM ET, first-come, first-served, amid sustained fan anger over pricing. On April 2, a technical error routed buyers into the wrong queue for 90+ minutes. US Congress members had formally written calling the tournament 'the most financially exclusionary ever.' The cheapest openly available final ticket starts at $2,790; the FIFA official resale platform reopened April 2 with secondary prices reaching $143,750.
