- FIFA listed ~7,000 unsold tickets for the England v France bronze medal match in Miami as of Friday, with 1,246 on general sale at $865-$1,125 and 5,864 on the official resale platform
- The cheapest resale ticket (category 3) is priced at $455 face value plus FIFA's 15% fee, while category 1 tickets originally priced at $1,125 are reselling for as low as $659 — a roughly 41% markdown
- Sunday's World Cup final still has 32 of its most expensive tickets on general sale, listed between $29,995 and $32,970
- Over 1,000 resale tickets remain for the final, with the most expensive resale listing at $2m plus a $300,000 FIFA fee
- FIFA notes that resale prices are user-set and do not directly reflect what people are actually paying
Why it matters: Roughly 7,000 empty seats for a World Cup bronze medal match — combined with category 1 resale tickets discounted 41% below their $1,125 face value — signal weak demand for the third-place fixture, while the final's price floor near $30,000 (with one listing at $2m) shows extreme price stratification between the two games on the same weekend in the same country.
