Re: Dynamic Ticket Pricing at next World Cup…..

TBH, I really enjoyed the Qatar one, well organised, great transportation etc. Only spoilt by our football!

It wasn’t easy or that affordable to go though, unless you were Argentinian

You have to wonder what they do with all that money....

This may explain a chunk of it:

Salaries and compensation for FIFA executives are detailed in the organization's financial reports. The most recent publicly available information shows the following:

FIFA President Gianni Infantino:

2023 Compensation:

Base salary: CHF 2,463,710 (approximately $2.78 million USD)

Variable salary (bonus): CHF 1,650,000 (approximately $1.87 million USD)

Total compensation: Over CHF 4.13 million (approximately $4.67 million USD)

Notes: His base salary was raised by 33% in 2023 following his re-election. His annual bonus remained the same as in 2022, which was a World Cup year.


Other key positions:

FIFA Secretary General: The most recent reported salary for the former Secretary General, Fatma Samoura, was a total package of CHF 1.9 million (approximately $2.15 million USD), which included a base salary of CHF 1.3 million and a CHF 600,000 bonus.

FIFA Council Members:

Senior Vice-Presidents and Vice-Presidents (who are also confederation presidents): Each receives a net annual compensation of $300,000, plus expenses.

Other FIFA Council members: Each receives a net annual compensation of $250,000, plus expenses.

Independent Committee Chairs and Deputies:

Chairpersons of major independent committees (e.g., Governance, Audit and Compliance, Ethics): Annual gross base compensation is typically $250,000.


Chairpersons of other committees (e.g., Disciplinary, Appeal, Referees): Annual gross base compensation can range from $160,000 to $215,000.

Deputy Chairpersons: Compensation varies, but is typically lower than the chairpersons.

33% pay rise for Infantino - nice work if you can get it!

I paid £30 for a semifinal ticket in 1998. Although it was 27yrs ago, it was still value for money then. Those days have long gone.

Never been to a world cup...and i never will. Pint of beer and a dip and crisps in front of the TV. I know! i'll save loads of money ,won't get ripped off, mugged, or murdered and miss all that lovely atmosphere. Wales won't get there anyway.

That's a very sad read which saddens my heart. What's wrong with pints of beer?
