October 14, 2025
Andy Kohlberg, the owner of Spanish soccer club Mallorca, warns that FIFA’s ticket pricing for the next World Cup could harm the sport’s image. Speaking on Tuesday, he noted that the message so far has been mainly negative. FIFA has not released a full ticket price grid, only stating that the most expensive seat is $6,730 and the cheapest is $60. Hospitality tickets reach up to $73,200. Kohlberg emphasizes the need to balance catering to mainstream fans with offering premium experiences. He also comments on La Liga’s controversial decision to move a match to the U.S., urging caution in such decisions.
