New York and New Jersey Attorneys General Letitia James and Jennifer Davenport have issued subpoenas to FIFA as part of a joint investigation into ticketing practices for the 2026 World Cup. The investigation follows fan complaints about misleading seat assignments and sharply rising prices for matches at MetLife Stadium. The attorneys general seek information on how tickets are being marketed and sold, aiming to ensure fair access and pricing for consumers.

  • The subpoenas were announced following reports that some fans were misled about the location and quality of their seats, with FIFA introducing additional premium 'Front' categories after initial sales.
  • Fans who purchased tickets before the new categories were introduced were reportedly excluded from premium sections and assigned less favorable seats, or received tickets in lower categories than paid for.
  • The investigation is supported by the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
  • MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is scheduled to host eight games, including the World Cup final on July 19, 2026.
