New York and New Jersey attorneys general have launched an investigation into FIFA’s ticketing practices for the 2026 World Cup, including how prices are set and how tickets are allocated. Multiple outlets report that New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced the probe and issued subpoenas to FIFA. The inquiry is described as covering “a range of issues” that have arisen with FIFA’s ticketing process, amid public criticism of high prices and concerns about transparency.

The scrutiny comes as FIFA prepares for the tournament, which begins June 11 and is hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada. Coverage also includes reactions from fans, including a North Vancouver supporter who questions how ticket buyers can know in advance where they will be seated after paying close to $1,000 for a World Cup ticket.

Several reports state that FIFA has been ordered to respond to the questions raised by the attorneys general as part of their investigation. The developments add to broader global attention on World Cup ticket sales and pricing, with authorities in the two states seeking information through their legal requests.
