New York (AP) – New York City Candidate Zoran Mamdani<\/span>who has won a Democrat nomination on a platform to make cities more affordable, is asking the global governing body of football to make New Yorkers cheaper to attend World Cup<\/span>. <\/p>\nin petition<\/span> Released Wednesday, Mamdani reversed FIFA’s plan to set ticket prices for next year’s tournaments based on demand, compared practice to “gouging price.” <\/p>\nThe democratic socialist, dubbed his campaign “Game over Greed,” also sought to secure 15% of tickets at a discounted price for residents. <\/p>\n
“As a lifetime of football – sorry, but I mean a football fan. I couldn’t be more excited,” Mamdani said. Attached to social media videos<\/span>affects fake accents when he juggles a soccer ball with dress shoes. “But can a working-class New Yorker actually watch the game?”<\/p>\nThe tournament will take place in 16 cities in the US, Canada and Mexico. Eight matches, including the Final, will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where you will be on the train right from New York City. <\/p>\n
“Many of our neighbors wouldn’t be able to afford to be there,” Mamdani added, accusing FIFA of “pricing people who work from the games they love.”<\/p>\n
A FIFA spokesman said the adoption of dynamic pricing reflects market practices in the host country. <\/p>\n
As in the past few years, some tickets will be reserved for “specific fan categories” at a fixed price. <\/p>\n
Recently, FIFA’s plan to adopt dynamic pricing models – Used by airlines or hotels<\/span> – sparked controversy among some fans. <\/p>\nTickets start at $60 for group stage matches and increase to $6,730 in the final. Authorities said<\/span> Last week, however, it could fluctuate in demand-based pricing models. <\/p>\nMamdani also called on governing bodies to resell it, agreeing to do it in Mexico but not in the US or Canada. A FIFA spokesman said the Mexico resale price cap is the result of the country’s strict laws regarding the middle-level ticket market. <\/p>\n
Mamdani won the primary on promises such as New Yorkers’ freeze rent and bus freeing, and attended the World Cup battle as part of a bigger battle against rising workers’ costs. <\/p>\n
“Pope John Paul II said, ‘Of all the unimportant things, football is the most important thing,” he said at a press conference Wednesday. “This is part of the city’s bigger affordable crisis and plot. Once again, it becomes a marginalized worker.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
