Fans hoping to witness Lionel Messi’s Argentina take on Lamine Yamal’s Spain in Sunday’s FIFA World Cup final will have to pay a premium, with last-minute tickets selling for between $10,000 and $60,000.
Demand for the blockbuster clash has sent prices soaring across resale platforms ahead of the final, which pits the defending champions against a Spain side seeking their second World Cup title.
On Saturday morning, FIFA’s official ticket resale platform listed its cheapest available ticket at $6,411.25 for a mid-level seat behind the goal. However, those tickets were snapped up within hours.
By midday, the lowest-priced seats available were in the upper corners of the stadium, with asking prices approaching $10,000.
Fans looking for a closer view of the action would need to spend around $16,000, while premium hospitality packages were listed for as much as $60,000, as reported by ESPN.
