Has the World Cup broken dynamic pricing?
This week, Michelle, Rahul and Will explore the world of dynamic pricing, where prices go up when demand is high and come down when demand drops. It’s already standard in travel and hospitality. Now, it’s expanding into live events, and this year, it reached the World Cup. Supporters say it’s simple economics, charging what people are willing to pay.

And as organisers push to maximise revenue, are we seeing the future of events, or the point where fans push back?Hosts: Will Bain, Michelle Fleury and Rahul Tandon Producer: Rebecca Smyllie(Picture: The 2026 FIFA World Cup logo is placed over the original logo of the Hard Rock stadium in Miami, Florida, USA.
