Glitch Lets Roughly 60 Fans Snag Free World Cup Tickets Before FIFA Catches the Error

Yahoo Sports · 3d ago

A pricing malfunction in FIFA's ticketing system briefly let about five dozen fans complete World Cup ticket purchases for $0 before the issue was caught and corrected. Rather than voiding the orders outright, FIFA reached out to those fans and asked them to pay the correct price to keep their seats. The mishap adds to a string of ticketing headaches that have dogged organizers in the run-up to the tournament's June 11 kickoff.
