Around 7,000 tickets for the World Cup bronze medal match between England and France at Miami Stadium are still up for grabs ahead of Saturday's kick off at 22:00 BST. It's Friday 10:00 BST, and you'd think a World Cup third-place game would be absolutely packed, but nope, thousands of seats remain open.
Third Place On The Line, But Where Are The Fans?
Seriously, a World Cup bronze medal match. England versus France. This should be a full house, an absolute riot of passion, but the ticket situation is just wild. We're talking 1,246 tickets still on general sale right now, priced at a hefty $865 (£657) and $1,125 (£855). That's a lot of cash, sure, but for a World Cup clash? You'd expect them to be gone. Then there's the resale market, which has even more seats available: a whopping 5,864 tickets. The cheapest on there is a Category three seat at $455 (£346) plus Fifa's 15% fee. But here's the kicker: some of those higher-category tickets, originally going for $1,125 (£855), are now discounted to $659 (£500). That's a huge price cut, showing that even some folks who bought early are just trying to offload their tickets.The Final's Tickets Are A Whole Other Level Of Crazy
And get this, even the World Cup final on Sunday isn't completely sold out. Thirty-two of the most expensive standard tickets are still lingering on general sale. And when I say "most expensive," I mean it: these bad boys are running between $29,995 (£22,796) and $32,970 (£25,057). Standard tickets, not even VIP! Beyond that, the Fifa resale site still has more than a thousand tickets for the final. Many of those are going for around their face value of $7,380 (£5,609) plus that annoying 15% Fifa fee, which tacks on an extra $1,107 (£841). But the real mind-blower? The most expensive resale ticket for the final is listed at a staggering $2 million (£1.52 million), with an additional $300,000 (£228,000) Fifa fee. Just remember, resale prices are set by users, so that $2 million might not be what someone actually pays, but still, a cool two mil is a headline grabber for sure.England's Post-Match Drama: What's Next?
While all these ticket shenanigans are going on, there's serious talk about England and their future. After their performance, there's a real question: do they lack all-round quality despite their effort, spirit, and those fleeting moments of brilliance? Some of the England players are apparently really disappointed with the team's tactics. Coach Tuchel is even out there questioning the team's "DNA." That's not a good sign for team morale. It makes you wonder what's next for England. How does Tuchel even begin to fix these key problems, especially with Euro 2028 on the horizon? After Saturday's bronze medal match against France, England will have a lot more to think about than just ticket sales, that's for sure.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
