What's the minimum I should expect to pay for a world cup ticket in the US?

In My Humble Opinion
21

You couldn’t pay me to go to the U.S. in the current political and institutional climate, World Cup or no World Cup.
I’ll wait until 2030 and go to the match in Buenos Aires we were given as sort of a consolation prize.

22

I just looked up where 2030 is set to be hosted. Interesting!

Is the era of single countries hosting over? If so, it’s kinda nuts that Qatar will be the last solo host. Who would have guessed!

23

As a Brit I’ve resigned myself to never seeing a home World Cup in my lifetime. That’s unless I move to Saudi (or another autocratic state which are higher up Gianni’s list, heck North Korea probably stands more chance than England or a combined UK/Ireland bid).

24

So FTR I just applied to the FIFA “Random Selection Draw”. I applied for tier 3 (which I assume means nosebleed seats behind a pillar) to England-Panama (220$) and Curacoa-Ivory Coast (140$).

Two tickets: one for me, one for my eldest. The others are too young to sit through a match and wouldn’t really appreciate it. My eldest is old enough to remember it and hopefully will be a lasting memory of the time she went to a world cup.

I assume fairly slim chance of getting either of them.

25

You could move to 5 out of the 6 2030 hosts and experience a home game without living in an autocratic state.

26

For whatever it’s worth, you may want to not rule out too soon the secondary market. I’ve purchased such tickets a few times in my life, including a couple of primo seats at Busch Stadium, via the secondary market. I mean, yeah, you’re paying more than retail - and in this case, capital-C Considerably more than retail - but hey, at least you, you know, get a ticket.

Seems like fans are not too happy about World Cup ticket prices.

Might want to be careful not to bitch too much on social media though, lest their hosts get riled…

28

I might not have been entirely serious.

It does irk me a little that the US has had the World Cup twice during my lifetime and Mexico THREE times since we last hosted it.

29

Yeh 3 grand for the cheapest Final ticket is ludicrous.

“When in doubt, host it in Mexico”
