Cristian Roldan's USMNT Knockout Match Just Got a $2,300 Price Tag and Fans Are Losing It
Okay, so you know our boys Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris are repping the Emerald City on the USMNT, right? Well, the national team just won Group D, which is awesome, but lemme tell you, if you were hoping to snag a ticket for that July 1 knockout round match in Santa Clara, you're gonna need to check your bank account. What started as a $700 ticket is now topping THREE THOUSAND BUCKS! Seriously, this is wild.
The Sticker Shock is REAL for Round-of-32
Can you believe this? Back in December, when they first said the USMNT would play on July 1 at Levi's Stadium if they won Group D, a "get-in" ticket was around 700 bucks. That hung around for a while. But now? Now that they've actually DONE IT and secured the Group D title, thanks to Paraguay beating Turkey, those same tickets for the round-of-32 match are over $3,000, according to TicketData.com. We're talking StubHub at $3,393 with fees, SeatGeek at $3,209. Even FIFA's platform saw massive jumps. This isn't just about one game either, the round-of-16 and quarterfinal matches are seeing prices north of three grand too. Millions of Americans are jumping on this bandwagon, hoping for a historic run on home soil, and the ticket prices are reflecting that hype. This is a massive jump from the $2,000 those tickets were just earlier this week!

Group D Finale? Prices Are PLUMMETING
On the flip side, the prices for the U.S.-Turkey Group D finale match? Totally dipping. Why? Because that game, happening Thursday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., literally means nothing for either team anymore. Paraguay’s win on Friday night clinched Group D for the U.S. So, the minute that result came in, the price to get into the U.S.-Turkey game plummeted. On Friday morning, it was over $2,000, but by Saturday, it was less than $1,400. Even FIFA's official resale platform posted Category tickets at $1,150, which is still higher than the original price, but way, way down from what it was earlier in the week. Shoutout to Alex Freeman who scored that second goal, by the way, getting the party started!
So, what does this mean for our Sounders heroes Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris and the rest of the squad? They're on to the round-of-32. They could be playing Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are battling Qatar on Wednesday in their final Group B game. If that one's a draw, it's still TBD who the USMNT will face on July 1. But one thing is for sure: the excitement is palpable, and if you want to be there in person to cheer on the USMNT as they chase that historic run, you better be ready to pay up. Go USA, and go Roldan and Morris!
