A Virginia woman’s TikTok video is drawing a lot of attention after she pointed out what she described as a major gap between FIFA’s originally advertised World Cup ticket prices and what fans are actually paying now. The video, posted by Tori Samone Golden (@lifewithtorisamone), has racked up over 207,000 views and has since prompted a formal response from FIFA.
Golden’s main point centers on ticket prices. According to her video, FIFA originally said tickets would start at $60. But when she checked current listings, she found the cheapest available ticket was $167, which she described as “almost a 300% increase.”
