Expensive tickets without seats

There were a few hundred unlucky ones at the Football World Cup opener. There were about 60,000 fans at last night's game, but not everyone that spent hundreds of dollars on the tickets managed to watch the game from their seats.

Arena de Sao Paolo was not ready 100 percent to house that many fans and not every single seat was mounted on or built. Despite the tickets were bough months ago, and considering the fact that they were expensive, Brazilian fans had to sit on the concrete floor and watch their favorite team.

Shocking is the fact that a few rows had no seats on both sides of the pitch where category one tickets were more expensive than in the back of the goal. Brazilians had to pay 450 dollars (about 330 euros) for a ticket and they go a place standing or down on the concrete floor for that.

The stadium barely made it to completion. A week before the tournament opener FIFA said it could not allow people in the upper section of the stands in the back of the goals and it would shrink the stadium's capacity to 45,000 seats.

Despite having the official seat capacity set at 61,600 the figure was topped last night. Officials at FIFA said there were 62,103 people watching the game from the stands which is considered a security breach.

The cheapest ticket at last night game was 400 dollars, while the most expensive one in a VIP Private Suite was more than 2,500 dollars. A simple average reveals that FIFA made more than 8 million dollars only via tickets and there are still 63 games to go.
