Falcons' Arthur Blank Confirms 'Fan-Friendly' Concession Menu Prices for 2026 World Cup Games

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank will keep the fan-friendly concession prices at Mercedes-Benz Stadium through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, per a one-on-one interview with WSB-TV Channel 2 sports anchor Alison Mastrangelo.

"Fans give us their energy, their time, their passion, their resources, their families, whatever it may be, and we need to honor that in the truest sense of the word, whatever we can," Blank said.

"We can't always control what happens on the field, what happens on the pitch, but we can control the fan experience," Blank added.

Blank's reveal occurred a couple days after FIFA tripled the price for its Category 1 tickets (the best seats available) to $32,970 for the World Cup final, per ESPN News Services. The final takes place on Sunday, July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host eight World Cup matches, including one of the semifinals. Per ESPN News Services, tickets were listed at $10,635, $3,545 and $2,725.

Blank doesn't control those prices, but he's made is clear that concessions will remain at their usual amounts. A look at the menu shows some very reasonable prices, including $2 each for a super pretzel, a soda and hot dog.

The first match in Atlanta will take place on Monday, June 15, when Spain plays Cape Verde at noon ET.
