🎟️⚽ From NFT to the World Cup... Has the ticket become a digital asset?
In the 2026 World Cup, tickets are no longer just a piece of paper to enter the stadium; they have become transferable, resellable, and traceable digital assets, reminiscent of the NFT philosophy, even if not all tickets are NFTs in the full technical sense.
But while the future seems more digital, some fans found themselves facing a different reality...
💰 Prices for some tickets have skyrocketed to 2-4 times compared to the Qatar World Cup, with prices for some major matches and the final reaching record levels.
😕 The debate wasn't just about prices, but also about the lack of transparency regarding seat locations and the number of tickets available during certain sales phases.
🔄 Even the official resale platform hasn't escaped criticism, as combined fees for sellers and buyers can reach around 27% of the ticket value.
📉 The result? Some speculators who bought tickets with the intention of flipping them found themselves facing losses instead of profits.
🎯 The most important lesson:
Technology can enhance the ticketing experience, but fans are still demanding something simpler: fair prices and greater transparency.
⚽🔥 It seems the 2026 World Cup is not just offering us matches... but also an intriguing lesson about the future of digital assets and the mass economy.
