00:00If the USMNT's poor performances don't turn you away from watching the World Cup this summer,
00:04the ticket prices surely will. FIFA went live with a new phase of ticketing earlier this week
00:08and the prices were staggering. Weighing to the thousands of dollars, they were double or even
00:12triple what we saw earlier in the year, with the biggest matches going as high as $50,000,
00:18turning fans away from an already incredibly inaccessible tournament. The World Cup is known
00:22for its inclusivity, but not this time, with the majority of fans priced out of attending.
00:27If it keeps going like it is, atmospheres are going to suffer and the smaller nations
00:32are simply going to see their games pass by, with potentially a generation of young fans
00:37across the world unable to watch games from inside the stadium. For families, that's not
00:42factoring in transport, travel and the replica shirt prices, I'm not even going to go there.
