Now, FIFA priced their tickets into four categories, category one being the most expensive, but now some of those category one ticket holders were placed in category two sections in some stadiums.

The color coding was confusing, so a lot of fans have been left confused by the price they paid versus the seats.

They were allocated.

So it all just kind of seems like a jumbling mess of confusion.

Shaq, reading this, how surprised were you to see this?

Or what did you think initially from the news?

Yeah.

I have lived and breathed this sport since I was 11.

It's very, very specific.

But that's the year that I really just started to get into the game.

I have never been to a World Cup as a fan.

I've never had the opportunity in my career to cover it.

And now that it's on home soil and we live a train ride away from where the final is going to be, seemed like a brilliant opportunity.

And I didn't even try to get tickets.

I didn't even venture to try to figure out how to, not because I knew this was going to happen, but I guess part of me just didn't want to be disappointed with the price that I was going to pay.

I didn't care what game I went to.

I just wanted to say that I went to the World Cup.

But I think it's also a reflection and a consequence of how the game is being sold constantly, not only from FIFA, but we're seeing it from the entire world.

FIFA, I think, is the worst at doing it right now.

And like you said, taking advantage of the fan.
