## Resource

World Cup ticket madness in Toronto hit fever pitch as prices soared to nearly $6,000 for a single seat—more than some pay for rent—despite new Ontario laws capping resale at face value with hefty fines. Fans paid $1,800 and still missed out, exposing how hard it is to curb scalping. Meanwhile, FIFA’s dynamic pricing hikes average ticket costs 35%, turning fans into paying customers for artificial scarcity. FIFA’s own resale platform now siphons fees, boosting profits while locals struggle. Critics call it pure profit-driven exploitation, and investigations are already brewing in New York and New Jersey.
