7,000 Unsold Tickets For England vs France: The World Cup Market Is Losing Its Mind

7,000 Unsold Tickets For England vs France: The World Cup Market Is Losing Its Mind

Seriously, almost 7,000 tickets are still available on FIFA's official sites for Saturday's World Cup bronze medal match between England and France. Kicking off 22:00 BST in Miami, this game has not sold out. We're talking 1,246 general sale tickets alone, priced between a hefty $865 and $1,125.

Bronze Match Tickets Are Taking a Bath

The resale platform tells an even wilder story. Another 5,864 tickets are just sitting there. The cheapest Category Three seats are $455 plus FIFA's 15% fee. But here's the kicker: sellers are slashing prices. Category One tickets that initially cost $1,125 are now massively discounted to $659. Someone's definitely desperate to offload those.

Final Tickets Are Just Bonkers

You'd think the World Cup final would be completely sold out, right? Wrong. Thirty-two of the most expensive standard tickets are still on general sale, going for an insane $29,995 to $32,970 each! Plus, over a thousand tickets remain on the FIFA resale site for the final. Some are around face value ($7,380 original, plus a $1,107 FIFA fee). And then there’s the absolute jaw-dropper: the most expensive resale ticket for the final is listed at $2 million, with a $300,000 FIFA fee. Resale prices are user-set, so maybe nobody's paying that, but it highlights how truly bonkers this market is right now.

With the bronze medals decided Saturday and the main event Sunday, it'll be fascinating to see how many empty seats we spot. These prices are just wild!
