Ticket Prices in Resale Market Drop in Final Phase: Phase Group Tickets for the 2026 World Cup Now Available Below $150
With only 24 days until the start of the 2026 World Cup, the secondary ticket market is showing a clear downward trend.
According to data from official and authorized platforms such as FIFA Ticketing, StubHub, and SeatGeek, resale prices for group stage matches have dropped significantly over the past two weeks. Tickets that were selling for $300–$400 just a month ago can now be found for under $150 for many first-round matches.
The main reasons for this price drop include high availability of tickets in FIFA’s final direct sales phase, increased supply in the secondary market from fans who can no longer attend, and more affordable prices at venues outside the biggest host cities. FIFA has also been releasing more tickets in the final weeks to help fill the stadiums.
Although resale prices have dropped overall, the most attractive matches involving teams like Brazil, Argentina, the United States, and Mexico remain more stable. Tickets for the Final at MetLife Stadium are still the most expensive, though they have seen a slight correction as well.
Experts recommend that fans always buy through official and authorized platforms to avoid scams. Prices continue to adjust daily, which means those who waited until the final phase may now find very good deals for the 2026 World Cup.
