The furor over 2026 World Cup ticket prices raised a fascinating question: How did sports tickets get so expensive in the United States — all while remaining relatively modest in the UK, Europe & elsewhere? Spoke to economists, sports execs, etc. for answers

How U.S. sports tickets got so expensive – and why it shocks the rest of the world
World Cup ticket prices are symptomatic of a greater issue across sports in America, where enough people have proven they'll pay in excess

Overheard in the hall from FIFA people behind me: if a matchup in a group has two relatively lesser teams, and on that day there’s a choice of two stadiums to put it in (which there is in the group stage), it could be moved to the smaller of the two venues. We'll see tomorrow if that proves true.

3. FIFA doesn’t assign seats until closer to the tournament - so how the hell does any of these third-party seats know where you are sitting?! The answer is they don’t. You think you are buying front row seats but you will probably won’t get those.

Fox announces that it will put 69 of next year's men's World Cup games on the big network and 35 on FS1. That is a record for free-to-air games both by quantity (obviously, with an expanded tournament) and percentage - 66%. Fox will also put the draw on the broadcast network in December.

Given the current discourse, one clarification I want to yell from the rooftops: - Broadcast licenses are issued to *broadcasters* - i.e. stations that have big antennae somewhere. TV stations, radio stations, etc. - TV Networks are *not necessarily* the ones doing the broadcasting.
