Category
SportsHook
Last month, FIFA announced a 'Supporter Tier' of $60 tickets for the 2026 World Cup. It sounded like a win for the average fan—until you read the fine print. Those tickets make up less than 2% of the total seats.
High Level Video Summary
The video will expose the structural issues making the 2026 tournament inaccessible. It will cover: The $60 PR Stunt: Breaking down the math showing how few "affordable" tickets actually exist. The Resale Tax: How FIFA’s 15% buyer + 15% seller fee on their official platform turns the organization into the world's biggest scalper. The "Death of the Traveling Fan": Calculating the $15,000+ cost to follow a team from the group stage to the final
Detailed Video Script
Segment 1: The 500 Million Problem (0:00-4:00): Visualizing the demand. 500 million requests for 6 million seats. Explaining how "Dynamic Pricing" destroyed the initial lottery. Segment 2: The Resale Scandal (4:00-8:00): Deep dive into the legal "scalping" system. Compare 2026 fees to Qatar 2022 and Russia 2018. Use graphics to show FIFA's $300 profit on every $1,000 resale. Segment 3: The Logistical Nightmare (8:00-12:00): A map of North America showing the flight distances. Highlighting the $20,000/night Airbnb listings in host cities and why "budget travel" no longer exists for this event. Segment 4: The Voice of the Fans (12:00-15:00): Clips/quotes from Football Supporters Europe (FSE) calling it a "monumental betrayal." Conclusion (15:00-17:00): Will this be a turning point? A prediction on stadium atmosphere if only the 1% can afford to attend.
Target Audience
Football fans globally (especially in the UK, Mexico, and USA), sports business students, and travelers planning for the summer.

Why will this video succeed?
Anger is a powerful driver of engagement. Every fan who didn't get a ticket in the January draw is currently looking for someone to blame. By providing the data that validates their frustration (the 30% resale tax, the $8,000 final tickets), the video will naturally be shared across fan forums and social media.
Strategic value to your channel
It positions me as a "Fan Advocate." It builds trust with my audience by tackling the "powers that be" (FIFA) with hard data, establishing the channel as a source for serious sports investigative content.

I select five real or fictional businesses with weak branding and redesign them from scratch. For each one, I explain what feels wrong with the original design, create a new visual direction, and show the full before-and-after transformation. At the end, I run a simple blind preference test to see whether better design actually changes which product people choose.
