Overview
- The last-minute, first-come sale that opened Wednesday set the World Cup final's top official price at $10,990.
- Fans who cleared the queue often found only a handful of games on offer and mostly Category 1 seats, with USA–Paraguay tickets priced at $2,735 on the main portal.
- FIFA’s in-house resale site went live with steep listings and a 15% fee charged to both buyer and seller, including 726 tickets for Canada–Bosnia at $3,125 each.
- Supporter groups and some officials condemned the prices, and Scottish authorities told fans they cannot intervene because FIFA controls the pricing.
- FIFA says dynamic pricing reflects demand, more tickets will drop in waves throughout the tournament, and about 7 million tickets exist with over 3 million already sold in earlier phases.
