Up to $2.3 million Ticket prices for the World Cup final reach exorbitant heights

The FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina has seen ticket prices soar to extreme levels on the secondary market. Officially sold-out tickets are being resold at prices up to $2.3 million, with many other listings exceeding $100,000. These inflated prices occur through FIFA’s official resale platform, where sellers set their own prices without caps. The high costs have drawn criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated he would not pay such amounts. FIFA itself benefits financially, collecting 15% from both buyers and sellers on these transactions. The official ticket prices were already higher than those from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
