FIFA raised its top ticket price for the World Cup final to US$10,990 during the glitch-hampered reopening of sales Wednesday after the 48-team field for this year’s tournament was finalized. The price had been US$8,680 when FIFA sold tickets after the tournament draw in December. FIFA’s category 2 tickets for the July 19 game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, were US$7,380, up from US$5,575, and category 3 cost US$5,785, an increase US$4,185.
