I appreciate the point you’re making. However, even at a glance you can quite easily see there’s a sudden jump well beyond inflation. On top of that, they also include a graph that does adjust for inflation. They look very similar. In fact, the only noteworthy difference is that the price (adjusted for inflation) has remained flat until this year, where it suddenly spiked.
It’s true taking inflation into account would be useful. But when the increase was 5 to 7 times more in 4 years, inflation would not make a big difference.
How much are world cup tickets since 1994
Showing graphs not adjusted for inflation by default is disingenuous.
It says scroll but it means next image in the carosel.

I know - I can see too. But you show historic prices graphs adjusted for inflation.
We did not have 500% inflation since 2022…
Edit: The total inflation rate from 2022 (Average) to Apr. 2026 is 13.79%
it does show the inflated graphs.
But it doesn’t really matter, it is obvious that the prices now are insane compared to:
2014 Brazil ticket prices ranged from €69 and the cheapest tickets for the final were priced at around €288
2018 Russia prices ranged from€79, while the most expensive final ticket in Moscow cost around €950
2022 Qatar ranged from€450 up to €1,000 or more.
Qatar was just scummy. The US following their lead is the same.
Yes it does. There’s literally no reason to not just show the adjusted for inflation graphs.
They do show them. But the point is the crazy difference is noticed because it’s so high, even without knowing the inflation rate.
But as mentioned. The charts with inflation are there.

Not useful - the proper way to do it.
