$6,411.25 was the cheapest ticket on FIFA’s resale site Saturday morning for Sunday’s World Cup final in East Rutherford, before those seats disappeared by lunchtime.
Resale prices then stretched to nearly $10,000 for upper-corner seats, about $16,000 closer to the field and almost $60,000 for hospitality packages, with StubHub and SeatGeek showing similar levels.
Demand is being driven by Lionel Messi’s Argentina meeting Lamine Yamal’s Spain in a matchup that pairs a likely final World Cup run for Messi with one of soccer’s biggest young stars.
Argentina is chasing a fourth title and back-to-back World Cups—something no nation has done since Brazil in 1958 and 1962—while Spain seeks its first championship since 2010.
