Mamdani asks FIFA to end dynamic pricing model for Men’s World Cup
Zohran Mamdani launched 'Game Over Greed' petition demanding FIFA cap resale prices and reserve 15% discounted tickets for locals to improve World Cup accessibility.
- On September 10, 2025, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for mayor of New York City, initiated the 'Game Over Greed' petition to oppose FIFA’s new dynamic pricing system for tickets to the 2026 World Cup.
- Mamdani opposes FIFA's plan to set ticket prices based on demand, citing price gouging that will exclude working people from attending matches near New York.
- The tournament will be hosted in 16 cities across North America, with eight matches—including the final—scheduled at the stadium located just outside New York City in New Jersey.
- Tickets start at $60 for group-stage games and could rise to $6,730 for the final under FIFA's variable pricing model, which has sparked criticism from Mamdani and fan groups.
- Mamdani called for capping resale prices and reserving 15% of tickets at discounted rates for locals, emphasizing this is part of a broader affordability crisis affecting working people.
