I appreciate the point you’re making. However, even at a glance you can quite easily see there’s a sudden jump well beyond inflation. On top of that, they also include a graph that does adjust for inflation. They look very similar. In fact, the only noteworthy difference is that the price (adjusted for inflation) has remained flat until this year, where it suddenly spiked.
It’s true taking inflation into account would be useful. But when the increase was 5 to 7 times more in 4 years, inflation would not make a big difference.
They don’t ‘hide’ them, they literally have a big banner across the chart telling users that ‘this chart is without inflation, scroll over for one with inflation’.
At a guess (I don’t know) I would imagine that the reason for the charts without inflation is to show users the original prices that they saw when they were collecting their data.
It’s the equivalent to saying something like “The prices were €100 back then, which, when adjusted for inflation is around €128 today”.
I don’t know why you’re moaning here about it anyway, if it bothers you that much, why not contact the site admin or whoever compiled it and moan at them. Maybe you’ll find out the exact reason that they have done it like that too 🤷

Sorry - what word would you use for “not visible” then? I didn’t say they weren’t available. They are… hidden.
I don’t know why you’re moaning here about it anyway
Because it calls into question the competence and motivation of the people who produced the charts.

They are not hidden. They are the 2nd slide of 2 slides, and it is clearly written:
This is WITHOUT Inflation. Scroll to see WITH Inflation
If you can see the chart, you can see that text.
Because it calls into question the competence and motivation of the people who produced the charts.
But, again, if you want to call in their competence or motivation, why not contact them and moan to them instead of doing it here? It achieves nothing.
How much are world cup tickets since 1994
Showing graphs not adjusted for inflation by default is disingenuous.

I know - I can see too. But you show historic prices graphs adjusted for inflation.
We did not have 500% inflation since 2022…
Edit: The total inflation rate from 2022 (Average) to Apr. 2026 is 13.79%
Neat. Doesn’t refute what I said.

Not useful - the proper way to do it.
it does show the inflated graphs.
But it doesn’t really matter, it is obvious that the prices now are insane compared to:
2014 Brazil ticket prices ranged from €69 and the cheapest tickets for the final were priced at around €288
2018 Russia prices ranged from€79, while the most expensive final ticket in Moscow cost around €950
2022 Qatar ranged from€450 up to €1,000 or more.
Qatar was just scummy. The US following their lead is the same.
Yes it does. There’s literally no reason to not just show the adjusted for inflation graphs.
They do show them. But the point is the crazy difference is noticed because it’s so high, even without knowing the inflation rate.
But as mentioned. The charts with inflation are there.
They hide them as secondary images. There is literally no reason to show unadjusted numbers for this.
Now who’s being disingenuous…

It says scroll but it means next image in the carosel.
