MEPs want ban on ticket prices for World Cup.
European Parliament members want to stop World Cup ticket prices from changing. They are asking the European Commission to look into this. This is because of problems with how FIFA sold the tickets.
The European Parliament believes FIFA used ‘dynamic pricing’ to sell World Cup tickets. This means the prices changed often. Some members think this is unfair to fans. They believe it could break EU rules about competition. The Parliament wants to add a ban on this type of pricing to a new law. This law is called the Digital Fairness Act.
