Authorities in New York and New Jersey have launched investigations into FIFA World Cup ticket sales following growing criticism over the high cost of attending matches at the NFL stadium shared by the New York Giants and New York Jets.
The concerns mainly focus on ticket pricing for games scheduled to take place at the stadium in New Jersey during the upcoming tournament. Fans and consumer groups have complained that prices are becoming too expensive for ordinary supporters, especially families hoping to attend the global football event.
Officials in both states are now reviewing ticket distribution practices and pricing systems to determine whether any consumer protection rules may have been violated.
The stadium, which will host several major World Cup fixtures, is expected to attract massive crowds from across the world. However, many football fans fear that soaring prices could make the tournament inaccessible to average supporters.
FIFA has not yet issued a detailed response regarding the investigations, but organizers continue preparations for one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
