New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey’s AG launched an investigation Wednesday into FIFA’s ticket sales ahead of the World Cup that have sparked a “gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity, and impossibly high prices,” officials said.

James and Jersey’s Jennifer Davenport announced the joint probe that will focus on the numerous issues with the soccer federation’s ticket sales for the tourney, including reports of fans being misled about where their seats were and the sky-high prices.

Several World Cup matches, including the final, are being hosted at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The two attorneys general sent FIFA subpoenas Wednesday and they are requesting information about ticket sales for the eight World Cup matches taking place in New Jersey starting next month.

“Being honest about ticket sales is not complicated. But FIFA has turned buying a ticket to the World Cup into a gauntlet of confusion, fake scarcity, and impossibly high prices – all at the expense of consumers and hardworking New Jerseyans,” said Davenport in a statement.
