According to data tracked by Ticketdata.com, World Cup ticket prices across the secondary market - including sites like StubHub and SeatGeek - have fallen 5% over the last 7 days and 12% over the last two weeks. The steepest decline has come over the past month, with tickets now down 24%, or about $177 cheaper on average, compared to 30 days ago.
Fans responded to the proposed price hikes with a series of protests taking place at Liverpool's home matches against Fulham, Paris Saint-Germain and Crystal Palace. Flags and banners were removed from The Kop for all three fixtures while supporters were encouraged not to spend any money in the stadium in disapproval at the move.

"The Commission's Fees Rule makes it very clear that the total price of live-event tickets must be disclosed up-front to enable consumers to make fully informed purchasing decisions. Price transparency is essential to a free and competitive marketplace. Today's settlement underscores the Commission's commitment to ensuring that consumers pay the price they are promised."
"Inflation, fuel, and all other related touring costs have increased exponentially in the last year. However, despite some saying otherwise, I'm afraid our ticket prices have not."
