The cheapest tickets for Sunday's World Cup final between Spain and Argentina have exceeded $10,000, with the average resale price reaching $18,822, more than double the record set by Super Bowl LVIII. Fans looking for last-minute entry to the match at MetLife Stadium, temporarily named New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament, face prices of $10,990 on FIFA's official resale platform.
The final marks what is expected to be Lionel Messi's last World Cup appearance. Argentina is seeking to win back-to-back titles after their victory in Qatar four years ago, while Spain aims for their first World Cup since 2010. The match will feature a clash between Messi and Spain's Lamine Yamal.
Beyond the match itself, the ticket includes access to pregame and halftime performances. Robbie Williams and Post Malone are scheduled to headline the closing ceremony before kickoff. The halftime show, curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin, will feature performances by Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber, and BTS.
Following the match, a stage will be set up on the pitch for either Messi or Rodri to lift the World Cup trophy.
