No level playing field for World Cup tickets, says disabled charity

A CHARITY which supports disabled fans says the continued uncertainty over the cost and suitability of tickets at next summer's World Cup is "unacceptable".

- By JAMIE GARDNER

FIFA has faced criticism over the pricing of its tickets for the tournament in North America, including those being sold to countries' most loyal fans, but its strategy regarding accessible tickets for disabled fans has also caused deep concern.

The Disability and Fan Inclusion Network of Football Supporters Europe wrote to FIFA earlier this month outlining its concerns around the lack of accessible tickets in the cheapest 60-dollar (£45) category, the failure to provide free carer/companion tickets and the absence of eligibility checks on its resale platform, where accessible tickets have been sold at hugely inflated prices.

The FSE confirmed on Tuesday it had still received no response to the letter from FIFA.
