    England fans face paying THOUSANDS per World Cup 2026 match as Fifa consider controversial Oasis-style ticketing system

    ENGLAND fans heading to next summer’s World Cup could be fleeced for THOUSANDS per match under Fifa plans to use a “dynamic pricing” strategy.Average costs of around £305 per match had previously been reported.Fifa are set to use dynamic ticket pricing at the World CupCredit: APPrices could sky-rocket for the biggest games like the final at the MetLife StadiumCredit: GettyBut now Fifa chiefs are looking at the same demand-based pricing arrangements that saw this summer’s Oasis reunion concerts plunged into controversy.And that could see ticket prices for the biggest games sky-rocketing with supply not being able to keep up with demand despite stadiums having capacities of 70,000-plus.A similar system being used in this summer’s Club World Cup – which includes Chelsea and Manchester City – saw prices fall to as low as £29 for games in the group stage.But that is unlikely to be the situation at the World Cup, despite the expansion to a 48-team tournament which will see a record 104 games played.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe Fifa model will NOT apply to fans supporting the three host countries – the USA, Canada and Mexico.But visiting supporters will be exposed to the system, which could see top price tickets for knockout games going for £5,000 or more.Official fan groups supplied with tickets by their home associations are also likely to pay a lower price, although allocations are unlikely to exceed 6,000 for any matches.The measure, if confirmed, is likely to see Fifa accused of exploiting supporters and seeking to maximise their own income.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSUnlike previous World Cups, which have been overseen by a Fifa-delegated local organising committee, 2026 will be run by the Zurich-based body.The greater the revenue from the estimated 6.5m tickets available, the more Fifa will make from the tournament.Fifa confirm 12 stadiums for new-look Club World Cup including TWO £1.2BILLION NFL grounds and 88,500-seat Olympic venueFifa’s argument is that dynamic pricing is a standard practice for major events in the USA – although that is not the case in the other co-host nations.The successful three-country bid, which won the right in 2018 to stage next year’s World Cup, suggested that a projected £1.35bn in ticket sales would be a “conservative” estimate.That appears to be an understatement, although a Fifa spokesman declined to confirm the plans.The spokesman said: “Ticket sales for the Fifa World Cup 2026 are expected to begin in Q3 of 2025 via the Fifa website. Further details will follow in due course.”Fifa are projected to make £1.35bn in ticket salesCredit: AFP More

    ANDREW CUSHIN was once playing Non-League football for Newcastle Benfield – now he’s sharing the studio with Noel Gallagher. The 24-year-old Geordie, who wanted to be a PE teacher, has also now teamed up with Aston Martin and headlined a gig at the F1 team’s revamped £200million base. Andrew Cushin and Noel Gallagher worked on a track called ‘Where’s my family gone’Credit: TwitterThe 24-year-old Geordie has teamed up with Aston Martin and headlined a gig at the F1 team’s revamped £200million baseCushin was once playing youth Non League football for Newcastle BenfieldCushin once supported One Direction’s Louis Thomlinson at a gigCredit: GettyCushin has been championed by both Oasis star Gallagher and Pete Doherty, and has also played as the support act for One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson. His career cranked up another gear after teaming up with Lawrence Stroll’s Aston Martin to perform at the team’s Soundcheck Concert at their Silverstone HQ last week. Ex-England manager Steve McLaren was in the crowd watching Cushin, who is a die-hard Newcastle fan. Cushin said: “I’m quite new to F1 but learning about the sport. I’ve never performed in front of an F1 car before so that was pretty cool. “It’s great to see Aston Martin Aramco getting behind music and showing support for artists. “I’ve always felt that music and sport belong together so I’m really proud to begin collaborating with a brand that values creativity and inclusivity. “Music always brings people together and these events will bring amazing energy to inspire the team and its fans.“I’m a big Fernando Alonso fan now!”Most read in MotorsportBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSCushin started out playing his songs around the pubs of Newcastle and within three weeks he had secured a manager with links to Gallagher. Cushin’s manager worked for British Airways in Heathrow and Oasis came through the terminal. Onlookers left stunned as F1 star Fernando Alonso’s £2.3m Aston Martin Valkyrie is filmed on back of tow truckCanadian businessman Lawrence Stroll owns the £200million Silverstone baseThe Aston Martin F1 Team Technology Campus includes a brand new experience centre, complete with a stage which Cushin played onGallagher’s guitar had gone missing on a flight which the manager found and sent first class to the Oasis singer.

Cushin produced demos and sent them to Gallagher, who put him in touch with a record label – and the rest is history. Cushin said: “Noel was interested to do a song with me. We got the ball rolling with it. He is a top bloke, he has given me the opportunity to change my life which I’m forever grateful for. Gallagher produced, sang backing vocals and played guitar on Cushin’s 2020 track “Where’s My Family Gone”. Cushin added: “The best bit of advice Noel gave us was told us to graft.“He just said keep your head down, work hard and write, write, write.”The Aston Martin F1 Team Technology Campus includes a brand new experience centre, complete with a stage which Cushin played on. There is also a spin studio, running track, gym and restaurant at their revamped base. It is a lot different to the muddy pitches which Cushin used to perform on for his goalkeeping days in youth Non League football. He said: “Unfortunately I can’t play football anymore. It wasn’t an easy decision hanging the gloves up.“My goalkeeping hero was Shay Given back when he was at the Toon. I had the pleasure of meeting him as a youngster once or twice, top bloke.”READ MORE SUN STORIESAston Martin are going to bring Cushin to perform on the F1 paddock next year for media, fans and guests. His second album is due to be launched in spring next year and he also has tours planned for UK, USA and Europe throughout 2025. More
