Overview
- Scotland supporters have opened a fan-run site called Ticket Exchange to buy, sell, and swap World Cup tickets without steep markups.
- Users register with a £5 fee that goes to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, and they submit address and passport details to deter scams.
- The group reports about 600 members with roughly 80 people listing tickets, and most transfers move digital tickets into buyers’ FIFA accounts.
- Fans created the exchange after dynamic pricing and resale fees pushed costs higher, with recent Scotland match prices ranging from about $380 to over $2,000 and Daily Record citing reports of extreme listings as high as $44,000.
- FIFA says its prices reflect demand across categories and says revenue goes back into global football development rather than profit.
