FIFA has announced an increase in the top ticket price for the World Cup final, now set at $10,990. This change comes during a reopening of ticket sales that faced several technical issues. The adjustment follows the finalization of the 48-team lineup for the tournament.

Ticket Price Adjustments

Previously, the highest ticket price was $8,680, which was established after the tournament draw held in December. In addition to the final, category 2 tickets for the match scheduled on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, have risen to $7,380 from $5,575. Category 3 tickets now cost $5,785, an increase from $4,185.

As of Wednesday evening, only $2,735 tickets were available for the U.S. opener against Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, maintaining the same price as in December. No tickets were listed for the U.S. matches against Australia on June 19 or Turkey on June 25.
