Zohran Mamdani has been on quite a roll since being elected as the Mayor of New York City. This includes an unprecedentedly positive interaction with President Donald Trump and several other contributions that will be beneficial for residents of New York.In the recent news, the newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani was interviewed by Pop Base. When asked about the exorbitant ticket prices for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, he was direct about his thoughts:“I think we have to keep speaking up about the fact that the worth of this tournament, of this sport comes from working class people’s ability to also enjoy it. And right now the ticket prices we’re looking at, I mean the cheapest ticket to attend the final is around $4,000. And when the United States hosted the World Cup the last time, that ticket was less than $200.”He added:“Just look at what’s happened over the course of the last few decades. I’ve made it very clear that I think FIFA should end dynamic pricing. I think there should be set asides for local fans at a discount, and I think there should be a cap on resale prices.”It is clear that Mamdani believes the world’s most popular sport should be made accessible to all fans; it remains to be seen, however, what effects, if any, his remarks will have on the final pricing strategy for World Cup 2026 tickets.Zohran Mamdani's wife opens up about husbands' political journey, moreIn other news, Zohran Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji, was recently interviewed by New York Magazine.
