FIFA said … it plans to sell $60 tickets for each of the 104 games of the 2026 World Cup…. Only 10% of the total number of tickets provided to each qualified team would be available at $60 per game, including the final. Given that each team gets 8% of the available tickets per game, the effective number of tickets available at that price would be only 0.8% of the stadium capacity for that game, or 1.6% for both teams combined.
Many fans reacted with outrage at the prices for the World Cup next year, which range from $140 for a handful of initial round games to as much as $2,735 for the U.S. opening match [with] prices for knockout rounds [around] $4,185 for the cheapest ticket for the final … — and $8,680 for the most expensive seats. That’s much higher than previous World Cups [with] the most expensive ticket for the 2022 final at the last tournament held in Qatar was about $1,600.
