World Cup Final Tickets Listed For £1.8m On Fifa Resale Site
World Cup Final Tickets Listed For £1.8m On Fifa Resale Site

Fifa's official resale platform is offering four tickets for the World Cup final at nearly $2.3m (£1.8m) each. The seats, located behind a goal in the lower deck of MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, are for the 19 July match.

Fifa does not set the asking prices on its Resale/Exchange Marketplace but charges a 15% purchase fee to the buyer and a 15% resale fee to the seller. If one ticket sells for $2.3m, Fifa would earn $690,000 in fees.

Other final tickets listed include a lower-deck easy-access seat at $207,000 and a category two seat in the top deck at $138,000. The cheapest listed tickets on Thursday were $10,923.85 for four seats in the upper deck.

Fifa released new blocks of tickets on Wednesday, with direct sales for the final starting at $10,990. In January, the most expensive resale listing for the final was $230,000.

Unlike previous World Cups where resale was capped at face value, Fifa has removed price limits for this tournament, citing the unregulated secondary market in the US and Canada. The governing body argued that capping prices would drive scalpers to third-party sites like StubHub.
