00:00If you are a regular ol' soccer fan and not, say, a kajillionaire, you're probably a bit
00:06peeved about ticket prices to this summer's World Cup. Tickets are $1 zillion, give or take.
00:12It's ridiculous. And you know who agrees? President Trump. Reminder, all of this price
00:18gouging is FIFA's fault. But despite repeatedly speaking fondly about his friend, FIFA President
00:23Gianni Infantino, the commander-in-chief blasted his buddy's ticketing policy.
00:28In an exclusive interview with The Post, Trump was told that it would cost a minimum of $1,000
00:33to watch the United States' opening game next month against Paraguay. The president, a famously
00:39rich guy, responded, quote, I would certainly like to be there, but I wouldn't pay it either,
00:44to be honest with you. Damn right. It's highway robbery. Now, the president suggested he might
00:50take a look at the issue of ticket prices and added, quote, if people from Queens and Brooklyn and all
00:55of the people that love Donald Trump can't go, I would be disappointed. But you know, at the same
01:00time, it's an amazing success. The president's comments come on the heels of his pal Infantino
01:05being pressed about prices earlier this week.
01:07We are in a market in which entertainment is the most developed in the world. So we have to apply
01:17market rates. In the U.S. it is permitted to resell tickets as well. So if you were to sell
01:29tickets
01:29at the price which is too low, these tickets would be resold at a much higher price.
