Argentine fans without tickets for Sunday’s final against France complained this Friday at the Qatar World Cup Ticket Center, located in the administrative center of Doha, while FIFA is expected to enable a remainder of 10,000 locations.
For the most part, the fans were the same ones that on Thursday night demonstrated at the door of the Jassim Tower hotelwhere part of the delegation of leaders of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) is staying.
The slogans on their posters were clear and concise: “AFA long the tickets”, “Chiqui Tapia, please, we want to enter!”, “AFA give us the tickets”.
The fans demand that the situation of those who do not have seats to attend the match with France at the Lusail Stadium be resolvedwhose capacity is 88,966 spectators, and are not willing to pay the exorbitant resale prices.
Thursday’s “flag” ended with a promise from an AFA relative to address the situation and the delivery of a list for a ticket to be assigned by passport number arising from a remnant that will be assigned by FIFA.
However, this batch of tickets will be marketed through the platform of the world soccer governing body, official spokesmen indicated.
For the final on Sunday in Lusail, the values set by FIFA were $1,625 (category 1), $1,013 (category 2) and $611 (category 3). Resale prices, 48 hours after the game, started at $4,500 for lower category tickets.
In some cases, up to 15,000 dollars are requested, said Argentines who are looking for tickets to support the National Team in Lionel Messi’s last World Cup match.
