FIFA has transformed itself into the world's most profitable ticket reseller, generating revenues previously held by scalpers through an unprecedented 30% fee structure on its official 2026 World Cup resale platform.
The governing body charges both buyers and sellers a 15% commission on each transaction. This means FIFA takes £300 ($390) from a £1,000 ($1,300) ticket resale, leaving the seller with just £850 ($1,105) and the buyer paying £1,150 ($1,495).
