FIFA has introduced £45 World Cup tickets, following criticism over its 2026 pricing structure.
In case you missed it, the world football governing body has confirmed the more affordable ticket price will be available to select fans of qualifying countries.
Speaking about the decision, a FIFA official said: "We have listened to feedback and this new category is the right thing to do."
As per the BBC, it would reportedly have cost the average fan more than £5,000 to cheer on England or Scotland at every match until the final.
The new £45 ($60) ticket falls under the 'supporter entry tier' and will make up 10 percent of the allocation for each team taking part in the tournament.
Prior to the change, the cheapest ticket weighed in at £134, quickly rising to £500 for the quarter finals and over £33,000 for the final.
