The World Cup semifinals feature two clashes between global powerhouses, yet ticket prices for one match are currently more than double those for the other.
France, ranked No. 1 in the FIFA Men's World Rankings, is set to face No. 3 Spain in Dallas on Tuesday. Spain had spent much of the lead-up to the World Cup finals atop the rankings before being overtaken by France in April. The average ticket price for their semifinal stood at $1,325 as of Monday noon, according to ticket tracking service TicketData.com. This represents a 26% drop over the past three days, and the current price is less than half that of the other semifinal.
Defending champions Argentina continue to be a major draw and will play their semifinal match against England in Atlanta on Wednesday. Major League Soccer franchise Atlanta United boasts a strong Argentine fanbase, and former Argentina national team manager Gerardo Martino became the club's head coach in November. Tickets for the Argentina-England match were priced at $2,841, marking a 34% increase over the last three days. The price had surged to $2,966 on Saturday before dipping to $2,537 the following morning. This match is also nearly twice as expensive as tickets for the third-place playoff, scheduled for Saturday in Miami, which are currently priced at $1,543.
The final at the New Jersey stadium on Sunday remains at $6,760, though this is down 6% over the past 72 hours. After reaching $3,650 in October, the entry price for the final was $2,301 on June 21st and $9,911 on July 6th.
