USA-Belgium World Cup Tickets Hit $13,000 as Fans Balk at Seattle Prices

Summary
$2,200 was the cheapest StubHub ticket FOX 12 found for Monday’s USA-Belgium World Cup match in Seattle, with top listings reaching $13,000; Ticketmaster prices ran about $3,000 to $8,500.
Those resale levels fueled a split among supporters: some called the cost “absurd” and said they would watch from sports bars instead of spending what one fan said was roughly two paychecks.
A few fans got in far cheaper—one through a $500 lottery win, another group at about $430 each—but said comparable seats later climbed to $1,000 and then about $3,200.
The debate has turned the match into a broader affordability issue, with some fans arguing U.S. supporters should get discounts while others say community watch parties offer a free alternative.
