The Attorney General of the state of New Jersey, Jennifer Davenport, and the Attorney General of the state of New York, Letitia James, have announced an investigation into FIFA, focusing on the 'dynamic pricing' system that determines ticket price increases based on demand. This comes in response to complaints from fans accusing the organization of a lack of transparency and excessive fee increases. Ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup matches have risen significantly, reaching nearly $11,000, and some tickets have been downgraded to lower categories without proper notification. Tensions between FIFA and the authorities in New Jersey have escalated, especially in the context of high costs for infrastructure and transportation, leading to a negative image of FIFA ahead of the major event. FIFA representatives have not yet commented on the allegations.
