With the FIFA World Cup just over a month away, we spoke with Seattle residents who voiced frustration over ticket prices and accessibility. Many said they likely won't attend a match unless prices come down.
Beyond cost, fans raised concerns about the political climate and visa issues preventing supporters from countries in Africa and the Middle East from attending, calling it discriminatory and damaging to the spirit of the tournament.
Some are still holding out hope but it is clear that FIFA has missed the mark with pricing accessibly.
