FIFA to put more more World Cup tickets on sale after adding new, more expensive categories

NEW YORK: (Apr 21) FIFA is putting more World Cup tickets on sale after angering some fans by adding new, more expensive categories.

Soccer’s governing body announced Tuesday it will make more tickets available at 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday for all 104 games in Categories 1, 2 and 3 plus the new “front category” pricing it added this month.

The new category sparked online complaints from fans who said they thought the better seats in the categories they had bought tickets for were withheld and they were assigned less favorable locations.
