Texas investigates World Cup ticketing after fans complain about seats
Дата публикации: 10-06-2026 11:05:43
WASHINGTON – Attorney General Ken Paxton said Tuesday his office will investigate FIFA over allegations the international soccer governing body pulled a bait-and-switch scheme with World Cup fans, delivering tickets with worse views than originally advertised.
“I will work to ensure that FIFA is engaging in ethical and honest business practices so that Texas fans are treated fairly,” Paxton said in a news release.
The announcement comes as Arlington and Houston are set to host World Cup matches in the coming weeks. FIFA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Paxton’s investigation.
The global soccer giant previously said early color-coded stadium seating maps were intended to be “guidelines” for fans rather than a precise layout of seats in each price category.
