England supporters aiming to attend the World Cup knockout match against Mexico may face resale ticket prices starting at approximately £2,600, according to reports.
On FIFA's official resale platform, the cheapest available ticket, a "supporter value ticket" with a face value of $295 (£224), is listed at $3,000 (£2,280). After including FIFA's purchase fee, the total cost reaches £2,622, nearly 12 times the original price. It remains unclear if these particular seats were part of the allocation sold to the England Supporters' Travel Club.
Further illustrating the inflated prices, a Category Four ticket, originally priced at $170 (£129), has a total resale cost of $5,175 (£3,933), which is around 30 times its face value. Other listings show a Category Three ticket, initially costing $350 (£266), being resold for $3,600 (£2,736) plus a $450 (£342) FIFA fee, bringing the total to $4,140 (£3,146).
Category Two tickets are appearing at $4,830 (£3,671), significantly higher than their face value of $450 (£342). Even the most affordable Category One tickets, which had an original price of $1,595 (£1,212), are being resold for $5,905 (£4,488).
More extreme pricing is evident on FIFA's resale site, with one Category One ticket in the lower bowl, originally priced at $1,064 (£809), listed for $31,712 (£24,101) before a $4,757 (£3,615) FIFA fee is added.
On SeatGeek, an independent resale marketplace, the lowest priced ticket available was $3,887 (£2,954) including fees. This price point is comparable to a Category Three ticket on FIFA's resale site, which had an original value in the region of $350 (£266).
In contrast to the high ticket costs, accommodation in Mexico City appears to be significantly more affordable, with hotel rooms available for under £80 for a two-night stay around the time of the fixture.
