Ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup finals have seen a notable increase on FIFA's official resale platform, with seats for several matches being offered at prices several times their original value, even though the main sales phase only concluded last January.

On the official resale and exchange website, a third-category ticket for the opening match between Mexico and South Africa, scheduled for June 11 in Mexico City, was listed on Wednesday for $5,324, while its original price was $895.

Ticket prices for the France vs. Senegal match, scheduled for June 16 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, have exceeded five times the original price, with some tickets reaching around $1,000 instead of $219. Meanwhile, first-class tickets near the field have reached $1,380, originally sold for $620.

As for the match between Morocco and Brazil, scheduled for June 13 at the same stadium, the price of a ticket from the highest stands has reached $1,725, which is more than seven times the original price.

As for the final match scheduled for July 19, a first-class ticket, originally priced at $7,875, was listed for nearly $20,000 on a resale platform.

Despite this significant increase, some tickets are still being offered at prices lower than their original value, as is the case with the Austria vs. Jordan match in San Francisco, where a ticket was resold for $552 after initially being purchased for $620.

FIFA clarifies that although the platform carries its official brand, it operates only as an "intermediary" with a commission of 15%, within a "fan-to-fan" market, emphasizing that the seller is the one who sets the price for each ticket.

The international federation stated in a release that the pricing model adopted for the World Cup reflects the practices in place at major sports and entertainment events in host countries.
