KNVB Criticises High World Cup Ticket Prices, Contacts FIFA

The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) has publicly criticised the high price of tickets for the upcoming World Cup.

The KNVB said it will keep asking for attention to the pricing issue.

Ticket prices for the World Cup final tournament are determined by supply and demand.

The pricing system links the cost of a ticket to the level of market demand.

The KNVB has opened a dialogue with FIFA regarding the ticket‑price concerns.

The federation indicated it will maintain contact with FIFA until the matter is addressed.

The controversy centres on tickets that allow fans to travel to the World Cup.

The KNVB has not announced any further steps beyond contacting FIFA.
