Show Notes
FIFA has introduced a new ticketing tier for next year's World Cup, following an uproar over the prices to attend games.
The sport's governing body has announced a new 'supporter entry tier' in response to criticism of the highest prices in World Cup history that were labelled extortionate.
Prices have increased several-fold from Qatar, with the cheapest ticket for most pool games costing several hundred New Zealand dollars with the most expensive in the thousands.
Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explained further.
