Exclamation WC Ticket Prices

So who's paying these prices?

"...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." (source.)

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)

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

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

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