FIFA raised its top ticket price for the World Cup final to $10,990 during the glitch-hampered reopening of sales Wednesday after the 48-team field for this year’s tournament was finalized.
The price had been $8,680 when FIFA sold tickets after the tournament draw in December.
FIFA’s category 2 tickets for the July 19 game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, were $7,380 – up from $5,575 – and category 3 cost $5,785, an increase from $4,185.
Tickets were listed for 17 of the 72 group-stage matches by Wednesday night and none of the knockout stage games.
