World Cup tickets
Definition
Admission vouchers or digital passes granting access to matches in the FIFA World Cup, the premier international men's soccer tournament held every four years, drawing billions of fans into a global frenzy of goals, drama, and questionable referee decisions.
High-demand entry stubs for any 'World Cup' event across sports like cricket, rugby, or hockey, but most infamously the soccer spectacle where fortunes are won, lost, and scalped on the secondary market.
