Crowd-Size Obsessed Trump Faces Embarrassing World Cup Problem

Donald Trump and his top ally, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, are set to be humiliated as thousands of seats remain unsold for the World Cup.

Analysis by the Financial Times found that almost 180,000 tickets for the tournament, which kicks off on Thursday, are still available on FIFA’s official resale portals. FIFA also has around 15,000 tickets for group-stage matches unsold on its website.

The extortionate prices of tickets for some World Cup group-stage games, which run into the thousands of dollars, have also caused the median resale ticket price to fall by as much as 20 percent as scalpers grow increasingly desperate to sell.
