World Cup final tickets are now available for $8,200 on the secondary market. That sounds expensive until you consider they were going for significantly more just a week earlier.
Resale prices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final have plummeted roughly 28% in a single week, landing in a range between $7,149 and $8,200 by mid-July. The catalyst was a one-two punch: prominent host nations got knocked out of the tournament, and FIFA decided to release approximately 1,200 Category 2 tickets directly at $7,380 each, effectively undercutting the resale market from above.
FIFA flooded the market, and resellers felt it
Platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek saw listings adjust almost immediately. Resellers who had been holding inventory at premium prices suddenly found themselves competing against FIFA’s own ticket office.
The $8,200 floor price represents the upper end of the current range, with some listings dipping below FIFA’s own $7,380 price point to as low as $7,149. That kind of undercut suggests some resellers are now trying to exit positions at a loss rather than risk holding tickets that continue to depreciate.
