The US and Mexico are out of the World Cup. Ticket prices are plunging
World Cup ticket prices are seeing a sharp decline following the tournament exits of the United States, Mexico, Portugal, and Canada.
What happened
Ticket prices for remaining World Cup matches have dropped significantly across multiple stages of the tournament. Coverage from outlets including CNN, Forbes, and the Miami Herald highlights a market collapse for quarterfinal tickets, with prices falling by as much as 60%.
Conversely, ABC News, ESPN, and The Independent report that FIFA has released nearly 1,200 tickets for the final match at a price point of $7,380. Future reports will track whether the high cost of the remaining final tickets impacts sales volume now that host nations are no longer participating.
