The 2014 World Cup generated $4.8 billion in revenue for FIFA compared to $2.2 billion in expenses. Over the four-year cycle, the event turned a $2.6 billion profit.
FIFA made $2.4 billion in TV rights fees, $1.6 billion in sponsorships, and $527 million in ticket sales.
If my math is right, tickets accounted for 11% of revenues.

Thats the key right there, ticket sales are basically irrelevant, they could hold the World Cup on a floating barge in the Pacific for all the difference ticket sales make.
