- New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has expressed strong disapproval over the $6,000 price tag for World Cup final tickets at MetLife Stadium.
- Mamdani criticizes the ticket pricing as “outrageous” and unaffordable for many residents.
- The high ticket prices are a result of FIFA’s adoption of a demand-based pricing model.
- In response, Mamdani has proposed that 15% of the World Cup tickets be set aside specifically for New York residents.
- These reserved tickets would be offered at a discounted rate to make the event more accessible to the local community.
- Mamdani’s proposal highlights a focus on increasing inclusivity and fairness in ticket distribution for major events.
