WC Ticket Prices
 

So who's paying these prices? :doh:

[I]"...For the 2026 World Cup, average ticket prices have soared, with top-category final tickets reaching nearly $11,000–$13,000, significantly higher than the 2022 final ($1,600). Group stage tickets for popular matches frequently exceed $1,000, with some averaging around $1,900, while more affordable, less popular matches start closer to $102–$430 in specific, less-expensive cities."

Bots & touts have bought a huge number of tickets despite FIFA's efforts to stop them, simply by creating multiple accounts.

If you have the patience to wait until 24-48 hours before kickoff to buy tickets, you should be able to find tickets available at reasonable prices for most group stage and R32 matches.

100%. My guess is Ivory Coast v Curacao could get close to $50 day of game.

The NYT ran a piece on declining prices a couple of days ago.

I also firmly believe FIFA has not even released 10-20% of tickets for a lot of games to try and create the false demand they need.

The greedy barstools make 30% on each ticket sold on the secondary market (15% off both buyer and seller)

They can have my 15% on a $50 ticket, lol FIFA.

Transport prices to MetLife cut to $20 from $80. Seems reasonable for a bus trip from Manhattan.

It was never going to hold at $80. At that point, just pay a cab lol

Pricing, when first announced, was something like $150. Then dropped to $105 in the last week. Did they drop it again?

Those are train tickets.

Just drive and get there early before the lot fills up imo.

Average ticket price for the Portugal Columbia game is higher than the Super Bowl.
