As per Sky News, around 60 supporters had secured seats at "0 USD" following a checkout error which allowed them to grab tickets for free.
All of the tickets were for group stage games in Toronto and FIFA have since released a statement demanding fans pay up within 7 days.
A follow-up statement then read: “FIFA can confirm that approximately 60 FIFA World Cup 2026 fans received a communication on Wednesday, 3 June regarding tickets that had been allocated at no charge (0 USD) due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process.
“The tickets requested by these fans remain reserved, and the affected fans have been invited to complete payment of the correct amount. FIFA regrets the error and any inconvenience caused.”
As per the BBC, Fifa is using a process it calls'variable pricing for ticket sales which means ticket prices can be adjusted throughout the sales phases according to demand and availability.
With the tournament set to start in less than a week, many games have not sold out. This includes tickets for the Scotland vs Haiti match on 12th June, just one of many games affected by resellers and high ticket prices which have forced fans to stay at home.
