FIFA World Cup Resale Ticket Prices Drop 24% as New Inventory Pushes Some Matches 36% Lower

Summary
Eight days before kickoff, 2026 World Cup secondary-market prices were down 24% over 30 days as fresh blocks of seats appeared on resale platforms.
Some matches have fallen even further: Canada vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina tickets dropped as much as 36% below original face-value listings on FIFA's official marketplace.
New inventory visible for games such as Saudi Arabia vs. Cape Verde has fueled speculation FIFA is routing unsold tickets through partners like StubHub and SeatGeek to recover revenue.
High-demand games still look different, with knockout matches and group-stage draws such as Colombia vs. Portugal in Miami remaining expensive and relatively scarce.
The slide undercuts FIFA's earlier expectation that every match would sell out at elevated dynamic-pricing levels before the tournament opens June 11 and runs through July 19.
