Major sporting events in the New York/N ew Jersey are have **** aulted by outrageous ticket prices this summer. During the NBA Finals, ticket prices got so out of control that U.S. President Donald Trump faced major backlash for not showing sympathy for fans who had been priced out.
"That's the way life goes," Trump said at the time. "Now, if the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily. That's just the way life is."
Ticket prices also reached outrageous numbers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, although Trump showed a little more sympathy in that instance.
"If people from Queens and Brooklyn and all of the people that love Donald Trump can't go, I would be disappointed, but, you know, at the same time, it's an amazing success," he said. "I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go."
The President hasn't publicly addressed the surging prices ahead of the U.S. Open, but New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has taken matters into his own hands.
