New York and New Jersey attorneys general have launched investigations, both announced on May 27, into World Cup ticket pricing following complaints that the world’s soccer governing body misled fans about the location of seats they were buying.
The attorneys general, Letitia James of New York and Jennifer Davenport of New Jersey, sent subpoenas to FIFA asking about its ticketing practices, with more detailed inquiries pertaining to the eight World Cup matches planned for New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, including the July 19 finals.
