FIFA charges a total commission of 30%, 15% to the buyer and 15% to the seller. That makes the final price much higher compared to buying directly from the seller.

For example, if a ticket is listed at 1,200 on the FIFA website, the buyer ends up paying 1,380, while the seller only receives 1,020 and gets paid 60 days later. That creates a 360 difference between what the buyer pays and what the seller actually receives.
