FIFA President Infantino's humorous statement: Buy a ticket worth $2 million and get a free hot dog

In response to criticism of the skyrocketing ticket prices for the FIFA World Cup final, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has made an interesting and humorous statement. He said that if a fan buys a $2 million ticket, he will personally provide them with a hot dog and a Coke and ensure that they have the best experience.

However, Infantino explained that such high prices are not due to FIFA, but because the resale of tickets in the United States is allowed, prices in the resale market increase many times over. Some tickets for the final in New Jersey have been offered on the resale market for up to $2.3 million per person. He said that if the initial price is kept low, people resell them at high prices, so it is important to distinguish between the original price and the resale price.

The FIFA President also said that about 25 percent of group stage tickets are available for less than $300, which is on par with American college sports competitions. That is, not all World Cup tickets are expensive, but the price of tickets for the final has increased enormously due to the resale market.
