2026 World Cup: How $60 Black Stars tickets ended up selling for $800

Sports journalist Bright Kankam Boadu has alleged that tickets meant for Ghana supporters during the 2026 FIFA World Cup were resold at heavily inflated prices, leaving many fans unable to watch the Black Stars in action.

Speaking about the situation that unfolded in the United States, Bright questioned the whereabouts of tickets reportedly allocated to the Ghanaian government.

"My concern is the tickets the government bought. They said they were going to send 800 fans, which means there were 800 tickets per game allocated to the government. "So where were the tickets? Were they the ones the ministries were selling?" he questioned.

According to the veteran journalist, many Ghanaian supporters were not expecting free tickets but were instead willing to purchase them at their official prices.

"Ghanaians didn't ask for free tickets but sell it to them at a good value," he stated.

He alleged that tickets with an official face value of just $60 were being resold for between $700 and $800, with some individuals taking advantage of the huge demand.

"Tickets that were $60 were being sold for $700. A fellow Ghanaian was selling this just so he could get the profit. He didn't care if the team lost as long as he sold the tickets. Some were sold at $800,” he added.
