Key Takeaways
- Four prime seats for the 19 July final are on sale for $2.3 million each.
- FIFA will earn 15 % from both buyer and seller if the tickets move.
- Cheapest resale ticket is $10 924, still far above the $10 990 face value.
Fans who want to watch the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium must now dig deeper than ever. On Thursday, the official resale platform showed four seats in block 124, row 45, priced at just under $2.3 million apiece. The spots sit low and square behind the goal.
FIFA does not set these sky-high figures, yet it will pocket a slice of any deal. The world body charges the seller 15 % and the buyer another 15 %, meaning a successful sale at the list price would bring FIFA roughly $690 000 for those four tickets alone.
Bargain hunters can still enter the stadium for less, but “cheap” is relative. The least costly listing on the same site was $10 924 for four upper-tier seats in block 323. That is only $66 below the direct sale price of $10 990 that FIFA opened on Wednesday.
The tournament kicks off on 11 June with a double header: Mexico meet South Africa and South Korea face Czechia. The United States open their campaign the next day against Paraguay. The final whistle will blow on 19 July in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
