Fifa asks fans mistakenly issued free World Cup tickets to re-buy at full price

• Governing body ‘regrets’ website error that caused glitch

• Ticketing process being investigated by attorneys general

Fifa has canceled World Cup tickets issued to about 60 fans who mistakenly got them for free because of a website error, and soccer’s governing body is now asking for them to be paid in full.

The tickets were “allocated at no charge [0 USD] due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process,” Fifa said in a statement Thursday.
