Dynamic pricing is one thing. But this sounds not so good:

The investigation will also seek answers to whether fans were misled about the locations of seats they purchased. In its initial ticket sale, FIFA seat maps divided MetLife Stadium into four zones, with "Category 1" seats located in the most desirable location. After many fans had already bought tickets, FIFA created new "Front Category" zones that contained the most desirable seats in each category, which the attorneys general said cost significantly more.

"Reports indicate that fans who bought tickets before these new zones were introduced were excluded from those seats and instead assigned less desirable seats, including seats far from the field or behind the goals," the news release read.

The attorneys general also said that some fans have reported that they did not receive tickets in the category they selected and paid for. These fans who selected Category 1 seats were ultimately assigned seats further back in the Category 2 areas, according to the release.

I'd be pretty pissed if that happened to me too.

Yeah I am confused how no one that got moved has sued?

I have no idea about how it all specifically went down, but I feel like when the tickets came out, and FIFA got hit with blowback, they explained all of this, but I could be wrong. Especially the people who got moved, I'd be hella pissed, but I am more surprised that those people are not already suing FIFA.
