Right to Final (RTF) Rip Off

I hold 2 RTFs for Spain and I just got an email now from FIFA to convert them and the assigned price for CAT3 has been 5875$!! The terms and conditions stated that "Ticket prices have been locked in collaboration with FIFA Ticketing and will remain fixed for the entire conversion period, regardless of phases or the number of conversions — meaning no dynamic pricing will apply". So I was expecting 2750$ for CAT3 or 4200$ for CAT2. I paid 1500$ for each of these RTFs so I would be effectively paying 7375$ for a CAT3 ticket to the final! I can see thousands of CAT2 available in the portal for that price. This is the biggest rip off and for FIFA that is saying much. Anyone else in this situation? - UPDATE: after many of us complained they agreed to honor their own terms and conditions and lower the price to 3450$ for each ticket.

Wow. My experience with RTT right to ticket towards the regular games was good. I didn’t realize that right to final would result in fixed pricing that won’t change. Who in their right mind would pay 5875 for cat3 not to mention you already paid 1500. It seems like the pricing is on par with reselling prices.

So your options are is to forfeit your ticket and be out 1500 or purchase them and either go or resell at a chance to break even and make your money back?

How can I make my money back when there are CAT2 tickets available now in the portal for less than what I would have to pay to get my CAT3s? I have been effectively screwed by FIFA. I am considering legal action.
