By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has secured 1,000 tickets for the upcoming World Cup, priced at $50 each, for city residents. These tickets, distributed via a lottery starting May 25, aim to ensure that working-class New Yorkers can attend the event. The initiative includes free bus transportation to MetLife Stadium and employs measures to prevent scalping and ensure tickets go to residents. Mamdani had previously advocated with FIFA for discounted tickets, with this effort drawing from the host committee's allocation. AI
