Group announces complaint over Cup ticket pricesAPSoccer fans on Tuesday launched a formal complaint with the European Commission against FIFA over World Cup ticket prices. Football Supporters Europe (FSE) said it joined with consumer group Euroconsumers to allege that soccer’s world governing body had abused its position to impose excessive prices. The FIFA World Cup trophy is displayed at the LA Live entertainment center in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Following a backlash from fans in December, FIFA slashed some ticket prices to US$60 for every round through to the final, which teams could distribute to their most loyal fans. It said that as a not-for-profit organization, revenue from the World Cup was reinvested to grow soccer.
