""I think they have overplayed their hand," said Adam Zakhar, a soccer fan from California who bought World Cup tickets at an earlier point and believes he would have a shot at "way better seats" if he'd waited and been privy to what FIFA is offering now."
""At this point, it feels like they're just making [ticket-buying] stages up as we go along," said Aizaz Sheikh, a Toronto soccer fan who has obtained tickets for two World Cup games taking place in the city."
"Zakhar, for instance, has ended with seats "stuck in a corner" and resents being denied a chance to select something better from the latest release of seats."
FIFA's recent release of World Cup tickets has sparked frustration among fans regarding transparency in the sales process. Premium seating options, not available earlier, have left some fans feeling they missed out on better seats. The World Cup will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with matches starting on June 11 and concluding on July 19. Tickets for various categories went on sale on a first-come, first-served basis, leading to complaints about the evolving ticketing stages and the introduction of new pricing categories.
