"I would certainly like to be there, but I wouldn't pay it either, to be honest with you. If people from Queens and Brooklyn and all of the people that love Donald Trump can't go, I would be disappointed, but, you know, at the same time, it's an amazing success. I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go."
"We have to look at the market – we are in the market in which entertainment is the most developed in the world. So we have to apply market rates. In the US it is permitted to resell tickets as well. So if you were to sell tickets at the price which is too low, these tickets will be resold at a much higher price."
The 2026 World Cup in the United States has implemented dynamic pricing for tickets, with base Category 3 prices set at $1,120. Donald Trump publicly questioned these prices in an interview, stating he would not pay such amounts. FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the pricing strategy, citing market rates applicable in the United States entertainment industry and noting that low-priced tickets would be resold at higher prices anyway. Infantino claimed major sporting events in the US cost at least $300, a statement later disputed by various outlets. Trump expressed disappointment that working-class Americans from Queens and Brooklyn would be priced out of attending matches.
