World Cup Final Tickets Hit $2.3 Million on FIFA Resale Site

Four tickets for the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, have appeared on FIFA's resale site with a price tag of just under $2.3 million each. The seats are located behind a goal on the lower deck.

FIFA's resale marketplace allows prices to fluctuate, with a 15% purchase fee for buyers and a 15% resale fee for sellers. The lowest-priced tickets for the final listed on the platform were over $10,000.

FIFA stated its ticket model aligns with major sporting event practices and reinvests World Cup revenue to develop the sport globally. However, fans have accused the governing body of a "monumental betrayal" due to escalating prices, which far exceed initial promises of more affordable tickets.

Consumer rights organizations have filed formal complaints regarding the high costs of the 2026 World Cup tickets. FIFA is employing dynamic pricing, meaning ticket costs can change based on demand and availability.
