Fresh York, Fresh Jersey announce probe into Fifa's World Cup ticket sales
The US states of Fresh York and Fresh Jersey announced a probe on Wednesday into whether Fifa has exploited football fans with "impossibly high" World Cup ticket prices.
Prosecutors in the two states said they would investigate ticket practices by the game’s governing body and organiser of the tournament starting June 11 in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
"Fifa has turned buying a ticket to the World Cup into a gauntlet of uncertainty, fake scarcity, and impossibly high prices," said Jennifer Davenport, attorney general for Fresh Jersey, which will host the ultimate on July 19.
"We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation of Fifa’s conduct," she said.
The investigation will probe updates that fans were misled about seat locations and hurt by aggressive need-based ratio-option, where prices climb according to sales.
