Infantino stated that 25% of group stage tickets cost less than $300, arguing they are cheaper than attending a top college football game in the U.S. He clarified he was specifically referring to the playoffs and championship games. Despite criticism over resale tickets reaching tens of thousands of dollars, Infantino argued that FIFA is a nonprofit entity that applies market rates and does not control secondary market prices.
