FIFA releases more expensive World Cup tickets

FIFA, the international football federation, has been criticized for high ticket prices for this summer's World Cup. Now the federation is releasing new ticket categories - with even more expensive tickets.

The fact that World Cup tickets are expensive is nothing new, but this summer's World Cup seems to be something very special.

Now FIFA has added two new ticket categories – at the most expensive end of the scale.

Instead of $25,500 for the top seats for the USA's opening match against Paraguay, the new "Category 1" tickets will cost up to $38,000. For the best seats in the arena for Canada's opening match, fans will have to pay just over $31,000.

Last week, FIFA raised ticket prices for the World Cup final in New Jersey on July 19 to around 100,000 kronor, or $10,990, for the top category.
