Ticket prices for Friday’s FIFA World Cup quarter-final in Los Angeles have dropped sharply following the elimination of hosts the United States and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal from the tournament, Forbes reports.
According to the report, the cheapest resale tickets for the match fell by almost 60 per cent, dropping from $2,950 to about $1,200 on the secondary marketplace TickPick after Monday’s Round of 16 fixtures.
The sharp decline followed the United States’ 4-1 defeat to Belgium in Seattle, which ended hopes of a home-team appearance in the quarter-finals.
Portugal also exited the tournament after a 1-0 defeat to Spain in Arlington, Texas, ending Ronaldo’s World Cup career and removing one of the tournament’s biggest attractions from the Los Angeles fixture.
