A World of Difference in World Cup Tickets?

The prices of soccer World Cup tickets are “in line with those from the 1990 World Cup in Italy (Feb. 4)”?

I was one of the 80,000 lucky human beings who saw the 1990 World Cup final in Rome. For my behind-the-goal ticket, I paid 30,000 Italian lira, about $20. The same ticket for the Pasadena final game will cost $180.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this an 800% increase?
