Njujork deli 1.000 karata za Mundijal po ceni od 50 dolara

The mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, announced that the residents of the largest American city will have the opportunity to buy 1,000 tickets for the price of only 50 dollars for the matches of the upcoming World Cup in football. Mamdani pointed out that the goal of the action is that even citizens with lower incomes can attend one of the most watched sports events in the world. "That's about the price of five coffees in New York," the mayor joked during a speech in Harlem's Little Senegal nei

About 150 tickets for each game will be available for seven of the eight matches that will be played at the MetLife Stadium, with a capacity of about 82,000 seats. The exception is the final on July 19, for which individual tickets already reach the price of almost 33,000 dollars. Along with the ticket, fans will also receive free bus transportation to and from the stadium. The tickets will be distributed through a lottery starting on May 25. To prevent resale, city officials said the tickets would be non-transferable and that there would be multiple ways to verify that winners actually live in New York. Tickets will be handed to fans directly when entering the bus on the day of the match. "We are making sure that working people are not thrown out of the game," Mamdani said. The democratic mayor, who took office in January, estimated that the accessibility of sports and cultural events should be part of a broader policy of more accessible life in the city. During the election campaign, Mamdani called on Fifa to set aside 15 percent of tickets at discounted prices for New York residents, and he also launched a petition against the demand-based ticket pricing model. According to the city administration, the $50 tickets will not come directly from Fifa, but from the contingent allocated to the joint organizing committee of New York and New Jersey. In addition to the final, the MetLife Stadium will host five group stage matches and two knockout stage matches. National teams such as Brazil, France, Germany and England will play on it.
