Ticket prices for the upcoming 2026 World Cup have surged dramatically on FIFA's official resale platform, with some seats listed at several times their original face value, causing outrage among football fans.

• A category three seat for the opening game between Mexico and South Africa at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium was listed at $5,324, up from its original price of $895.
• The most expensive ticket observed for the World Cup final on July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, was $143,750, more than 41 times its original price of $3,450.
• FIFA charges a 15% fee as a facilitator on its fan-to-fan resale platform, stating that resellers determine the prices.
• Fan groups like Football Supporters Europe have accused FIFA of a "monumental betrayal" over pricing, despite FIFA's introduction of a small number of $60 tickets for official supporters.
