LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Men’s National Team opens the 2026 World Cup against Paraguay on Friday night, and ticket prices remain sky-high.
Over the last three days, the get-in price for the game has increased by more than 50% on secondary resale sites, according to TicketData. The cheapest available get-in price as midday Friday was $1,205, and later more than $1,300, the site said, although FIFA’s own official resale site has tickets available for around $800.
FIFA has kept its own prices for remaining inventory stubbornly high. Earlier Friday, more than 150 tickets remained available for the game on FIFA’s primary sale site, with a get-in price of $1,120.
On FIFA’s official resale site seats below $1,000 were few and far between, often offered as just a single seat.
From the start of the sales phase, FIFA priced the opening matches for the three host countries as some of the most expensive of the tournament. When FIFA first released tickets in the fall, prices for the U.S. opener ranged from $560 to $2,735.
