Ticket prices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have surged sharply. According to The Telegraph, tickets for the opening match start at $370, with premium seats reaching up to $1,800. By comparison, during Qatar 2022, prices ranged from $55 to $618.
The most anticipated event — the final in New York — will start at $2,000, with average prices around $3,900. That’s nearly ten times higher than the final ticket prices just three years ago.
Even group-stage games have no cheap options left, as the lowest prices now exceed $100. Officials say the surge is driven by strong demand, inflation, and rising operational costs in host nations.
The 2026 World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19 across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, with matches held in multiple major cities. For fans, the key question remains: at what price can they experience the stadium atmosphere?
