World Cup Opening Match Tickets Still Available!
Surprisingly, tickets for the U.S. opening match at the World Cup remain unsold just days before the event. Discover why FIFA's price hikes are impacting ticket sales for this highly anticipated game.
Unprecedented Ticket Availability
With the U.S. men's national team set to kick off their World Cup journey against Paraguay, it's shocking to see that tickets for the opening match at SoFi Stadium are still available. As of now, FIFA's ticketing website lists 132 tickets left, while resale platforms show thousands more up for grabs.
Experts attribute this unusual situation to FIFA's steep price increases. The most expensive seats for the U.S. opener are priced at an astonishing $2,735, while the cheapest start at $1,120. Even notable figures like former President Trump have expressed reluctance to pay these inflated prices.
- Key points to consider:
- Only Mexico's opening match appears nearly sold out.
- Resale prices are dropping, with some tickets available below face value.
- Other matches in the tournament also show significant availability.
