California says probing possible violations over World Cup ticket sales

California has contacted FIFA over possible legal violations in the sale of World Cup tickets following allegations that some fans purchased seats in categories that were later changed, state Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday.

The probe, which comes as supporters complain about the high prices of tickets for this year's tournament, follows reports that soccer's governing body sold tickets by categories displayed on stadium maps, but later changed those categories before assigning specific seats.
