When customers pay a premium, they expect a premium experience. Being charged $3,800 and seated in the nosebleeds isn't just a seating issue — it's a betrayal of expectations. And when complaints go unanswered for a week, trust shatters completely.

In early June, FIFA accidentally gave away about 60 World Cup tickets for free due to a payment glitch on its official website. The tickets were for group-stage matches in Toronto. Instead of owning the mistake, FIFA gave affected fans seven days to pay the full price — or lose their seats. That wasn't the only problem. One fan paid $1,600 for four tickets but only one showed up in his app. Another spent $3,800 on Category 2 tickets and ended up near the stadium roof — while better seats in the same category were listed for $800 less. Fans reported spending a full week calling and emailing just to reach a human being.
